If you’re looking for a small motorhome there are three main options to choose from, including Class B, Class B+, and Class C RVs.
With Class B RVs, by far, being the fastest-growing segment in the small motorhome market, due to the popular van life movement.
But just because Class B RVs are one of the most popular small motorhomes right now, that doesn’t mean they’re a good fit for everyone.
As each class of small motorhome offers its own unique set of advantages as well as disadvantages.
So to make it easier to find the best small motorhome for your needs, we sorted these top 12 motorhomes into their respective classes from shortest to longest.
So no matter what type of small motorhome you’re looking for, you’ll be able to easily find the shortest and best from each class.

Best Class B RVs (From Shortest to Longest)
Class B RVs are by far the smallest and most nimble motorhome on the market today, which is one of the main reasons why they’re one of the fastest-growing segments in the RV industry.
As they are not only the shortest motorhomes on the road today but also the most narrow as well as the lightest.
Which makes Class B RVs the perfect choice for RVers looking for an easy-to-drive motorhome that will fit into tighter spaces.
Because when it comes to RVs and driving, the shorter, narrower, and lighter it is, the easier it will be to drive.
But it’s not all good news for the Class B RV though, as its smaller size can also be a negative.
As Class B RVs tend to be very small on the inside and have reduced sleeping capacities compared to larger motorhomes, making them less than ideal for families and longer-term camping.
The Winnebago Revel, which is built on the premium Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis is the shortest Class B you can buy, and one of only a few Class B motorhomes that’s less than 20 feet.
Which actually improves the off-road handling on the Revel, as its shorter length and wheelbase allows the Revel to more easily navigate rough terrain and obstacles.
But it’s not just the shorter length and wheelbase that makes the Revel great for getting off the beaten path.
As the Winnebago Revel also offers on-demand 4 wheel drive with hi/low range, electronic stability, and traction control, and can even be equipped with high-performance BF Goodrich® KO2 all-terrain tires.
Winnebago Revel 44E Floorplan
The Winnebago Revels also offers tons of boondocking features as well.
Including a roof-mounted solar panel, two 125 Amp-Hour lithium-ion batteries with a dedicated second alternator, a 2,000 Watt inverter, a hydronic heating system, larger fresh and gray water holding tanks, and a cassette toilet.
However, all of this off-road and boondocking capability doesn’t come cheap though, as the Winnebago Revel is one of the most expensive Class B RVs you can buy, with an average price of $190,000.
One of the biggest drawbacks of most camper vans is their limited sleeping capacity, as they can usually only sleep two campers.
However, there are some Class B motorhomes like the Winnebago Solis 59P that provide an additional pop-top sleeping loft on top of the van, allowing the van to sleep up to four.
Which is one of the main reasons why this camper van from Winnebago is so popular, as it allows a family of four to easily camp and sleep inside the Solis, without having to sacrifice comfort.
Beyond its four-person sleeping capacity though, the Winnebago Solis 59P, which is built on the RAM Promaster chassis, is also a really well-equipped camper van.
As it offers tons of comfort and convenience features including a two-piece wet bath, a four-person dinette booth, and a full-featured kitchenette.
Winnebago Solis 59P Floorplan
In addition, the Winnebago Solis 59P is also one of the cheapest Class B RVs you can buy, with an average retail price of just $85,000.
Which would actually allow you to buy two Winnebago Solis 59Ps and still have money left over, compared to what just one Winnebago Revel would cost.
Another great option if you’re looking for a Class B motorhome that can sleep four campers at a time is the Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A.
As the Sequence 20A can easily sleep 4 campers at a time when equipped with the optional retractable rooftop with SkyBunk® sleeping area.
Which by the way almost all of them are.
Built on the RAM Promaster chassis, the Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A offers a little more length compared to the Winnebago 59P from above, with a total length of 21 feet 1 inch.
Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A Floorplan
And while this might not seem like that big of a deal, since it’s only 1 foot 4 inches longer compared to the Solis 59P, in reality, it actually makes a pretty big difference.
As that little extra length provides more than 5% of extra living space inside the camper van, which helps the Sequence 20A feel a little more spacious and a little less cramped when inside the camper.
Beyond the extra length though, both the Winnebago Solis 59P and Thor Motor Coach Sequence 20A are pretty similar motorhomes, as they both have roughly the same floorplan as well as features and amenities.
While Class B RV design tends to focus mostly on functionality and practicality, due to the limited interior space of a camper van.
There are some high-end Class B RVs like the Coachmen Galleria 24FL that focus more on luxury and comfort.
As the Galleria 24FL, which is built on the premium Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, is absolutely loaded with luxurious and high-end features from the front cab area all the way to the rear of the coach.
Coachmen Galleria 24FL Floorplan
With such premium features as blind-spot monitoring with lane assist, electronic stability control, heated front swivel seats, high-gloss cherry or maple cabinetry, larger Nova Kool 7300 refrigerator with pull-out freezer drawer, 330 Watts of solar with 330 Amp Hour AGM batteries, Sumo spring suspension, and Horizon solid surface countertops, plus much much more.
It’s not just the premium features that give this high-end Class B motorhome its luxurious and comfortable feel though, as it’s also its sheer size.
As the Coachmen Galleria 24FL is one of the largest Class B RVs you can buy with an overall length of 24 feet 3 inches and a gross vehicle weight rating of 11,030 pounds.
Giving the Galleria 24FL a very spacious and open feel on the inside despite being a smaller camper van.
But similar to the Winnebago Revel from above, all these premium features don’t come cheap.
As the Coachmen Galleria 24FL is one of the most expensive Class B RVs you can buy, with an average price of $185,000.
Class B+ RVs, which can sometimes be referred to as Class C RVs, depending on the RV manufacturer, offer a nice blend between a Class B and Class C RV.
As Class B+ RVs are typically shorter and narrower compared to larger Class C and Class A RVs, making them much easier to drive.
While still offering a cutaway body similar to a Class C, in order to provide more interior space as well as extra storage space.
Giving you the benefits of both a smaller Class B and a larger Class C, all rolled into one convenient package.
While most Class B+ RVs are built on work van chassis such as the Ford Transit or the RAM Promaster.
There are few Class B+ manufacturers like Gulf Stream and Pheonix Cruiser that use truck chassis.
Like the Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5210, which is built on the Ford E-350 chassis and offers the powerful Ford 7.3L V8 engine.
Which helps to provide one of the best-in-class towing capacities, as the 5210 has a 7,500-pound towing capacity.
Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5210 Floorplan
In addition, this Class B+ offers many features and amenities that are not usually found on smaller motorhomes, especially ones that are only 22 feet 6 inches long.
As the Gulf Stream B Touring Cruiser 5210 offers a full three-piece dry bath with a separate shower, toilet, and bathroom sink as well as a four-person sleeping capacity, thanks to its dual opposing jackknife sofas.
But the features and amenities don’t stop there though, as the B Touring Cruiser 5210 is loaded with comfort and convenience features, including a full-featured L-shaped kitchen with a large refrigerator, a 4.0KW Onan generator, a large power awning with LED light strip, a ducted 13,500 BTU AC, and a 25,000 BTU furnace, to name just a few.
Sleeping Capacity: 4 (With Optional Root Top Tent)
The Winnebago EKKO 22A is one of the newest and most popular Class B+ motorhomes on the road today, thanks to the EKKO’s best-in-class off-road as well as boondocking capability.
Making the EKKO the perfect choice for those that want to get off the beaten path, away from campgrounds, and out into the backcountry.
As there is no Class B+ that’s more capable than the EKKO 22A in not only getting off the beaten path but also staying there.
Thanks to all the standard off-road and off-grid features offered on the EKKO.
Including all-wheel drive, a powerful 3.5L EcoBoost engine, a large 31-gallon fuel tank, three solar panels that produce 455 Watts of power, lithium-ion batteries, a second dedicated alternator, an oversized 50-gallon freshwater tank, and a boondocking-friendly cassette toilet, to name just a few.
Winnebago EKKO 22A Floorplan
And for those that like to camp in the winter, the Winnebago EKKO 22A has you covered, as it’s one of the few Class B+ RVs that offers true four-season capability.
Allowing you to camp in the EKKO year-round, thanks to extensive all-season insulation in the roof, walls, and floor, Truma® VarioHeat™ comfort furnace, insulated exterior compartments, and interior water lines and tanks.
Also, another really nice feature of the EKKO 22A is its large heated garage in the rear, which features an L-track cargo tie-down system, allowing you to easily bring all sorts of outdoor sporting gear with you.
The Coachmen Cross Trail 20XG was built and designed to be an off-road adventure vehicle much like the Winnebago EKKO 22A from above, but it has the added benefit of being much more affordable.
As the Cross Trail 20XG has many of the same features as the EKKO 22A but costs $70,000 less, making it a great alternative to the far more expensive EKKO 22A, for those shopping on a budget.
As the Coachmen Cross Trail 20XG is also built on the Ford Transit chassis and has the fuel-efficient yet powerful 3.5L EcoBoost engine, as well as all of the other Ford Transit features including lane-keeping assist, pre-collision assist, and Ford’s AdvanceTrac with roll stability control.
And while all-wheel-drive doesn’t come standard on the Cross Trail 20XG like it does on the EKKO 22A, it can be added as an option.
Coachmen Cross Trail 20XG
In addition, the Cross Trail 20XG is also loaded with boondocking friendly features, including 400 Amp Hour AGM batteries (optional 800 Amp Hour setup available) with dual alternators and solar, a 3,000 Watt inverter, Renogy hybrid electrical system, which will operate every feature on battery, including the AC, and some of the largest holding tanks available for its class, including 41-gallon freshwater tank and 69-pound propane tank.
The Cross Trail 20XG also has a very large rear garage that’s capable of storing multiple bikes and loads of camping gear.
Also, it’s worth noting that the Cross Trail was originally called the Cross Trek up until 2021 when Coachmen decided to change the name to better reflect the brand and its diverse offerings.
As the Cross Trail is not just a single RV, but a full lineup of small motorhomes, including everything from small Class B+ RVs all the way up to larger full-size Class C RVs.
Tiffin Motorhomes is a leading manufacturer of luxury Class A RVs, as they make a wide range of high-end premium motorhomes with lengths as long as 45 feet.
However, what many don’t realize is that Tiffin Motorhomes also makes a high-end version of a Class B+ called the Wayfarer.
Built on the premium Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the high-end Wayfarer offers best-in-class luxury as well as comfort and is available in four different floorplans, including the 25TW, the 25RW, the 25LW, and the 25SW
But one of the most popular floorplans of the Wayfarer is the 25RW, thanks to its large slide-out that not only helps to open up the interior of this smaller motorhome but also provides enough space for a full-size queen bed and either a dinette booth, theatre seating, or a tri-fold sofa, depending on how it’s optioned out.
Tiffin Motorhomes Wayfarer 25RW Floorplan
The luxury and comfort of the Wayfarer 25RW doesn’t stop there though, as you would be hard-pressed to find a Class B+ motorhome that’s more well equipped than this small motorhome.
As the Wayfarer 25RW is loaded with premium and high-end features throughout the coach, including full-body exterior paint and graphics, a full-featured kitchen with stainless steel appliances, hand-crafted cabinetry, and a large rear three-piece dry bath to name just a few.
As smaller Class C RVs typically have lengths between 23 and 25 feet, which in many cases is not much longer than Class B or B+ RVs.
But where Class C RVs differ from Class B and B+ RVs is in their chassis and overall construction.
As Class C RVs are almost exclusively built on larger truck chassis such as the Ford E-350 or E-450 and use larger rear cutaway bodies that provide much more interior space as well as storage space.
The Winnebago Minnie Winnie is one of the most well-known and iconic Class C motorhomes on the road today.
First released in 1973, the Minnie Winnie quickly made a name for itself in the RV industry, thanks to its affordable price, quality construction, and spacious and comfortable interiors.
Now almost 50 years later the Minnie Winnie is still going strong, as it’s one of the best-selling Class C RVs on the road today, available in various lengths and floorplans.
But one of the smallest Minnie Winnie models is the Winnebago Minni Winnie 22R, which has an overall length of just 23 feet 10 inches long.
Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R Floorplan
Making it one of the smallest and shortest Class C RVs available today.
However, despite its smaller size this Class C motorhome from Winnebago still has many of the same features found on larger Class C RVs.
Including a six-person sleeping capacity, a large u-shaped dinette booth, a separate 3-piece dry bath, and a well-equipped kitchen.
Length: 24 Feet 1 Inch or 24 Feet 7 Inches (Depending on Chassis)
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: 12,500 or 12,300 Pounds (Depending on Chassis)
Bathroom: 3-Piece Dry Bath
Sleeping Capacity: 6
Another super popular small Class C motorhome that has a very similar look and feel to the Minnie Winnie 22R from above, is the Thor Four Winds 22E, which has an overall length of just over 24 feet.
In fact, they are so similar that it can sometimes be difficult to tell them apart, as they are about the same length, have the same front bunk area over the cab, and even have the exact same floorplan.
Thor Four Winds 22E Floorplan
With the exception of the dinette area, as the Four Winds 22E, offers a standard booth dinette, while the Minnie Winnie 22R offers a u-shaped dinette.
But where these two small motorhomes differ is their price tag, as there is about a $40,000 difference between these two similar Class C motorhomes.
As the Thor Four Winds 22E has an average price of $80,000, while the Winnebago Minnie Winnie 22R has an average price of 120,000.
Making the Thor Four Winds 22E the clear winner when it comes to affordability.
While the first two Class C motorhomes on this list definitely offer more interior space as well as storage space compared to the smaller Class B and Class B+ RVs from this list, if you’re really looking for a spacious and roomy interior, then you need to check out the Jayco Redhawk 24B.
As this small Class C motorhome is not only several feet longer compared to the previous Class C motorhomes but also features a full-body slide-out, which really helps to open up the interior of this motorhome.
Jayco Redhawk 24B Floorplan
As the driver side slide-out runs almost the entire length of the motorhome, which helps to provide a much bigger bedroom as well as living room and kitchen area.
In fact, there’s so much interior room inside the Jayco Redhawk 24B that you might even forget that you’re in a smaller motorhome altogether.
But it’s not just all the extra space that makes this small motorhome so great as it also features a ton of upgrades, which really helps this motorhome stand out from the crowd.
Including the exclusive JRIDE® that’s found only on Jayco RVs, which uses a computer-balanced driveshaft, standard front, and rear stabilizer bars, and Hellwig® helper springs with rubber isolation body mounts, to provide an unapparelled and super smooth ride.
As well as a one-piece seamless fiberglass front cap, heated 12V holding tanks, power awning with LED lights, Sony® infotainment center with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and a large 8 cubic foot double-door refrigerator to name just a few.
The largest motorhome on this list is the Forest River Sunseeker Classic 2440DS, which has an overall length of 27 feet 1 inch and two separate slides-outs.
But just because it’s the largest motorhome on this list, that doesn’t make it a large motorhome.
Because when compared to other Class C RVs and Class A RVs it’s still very much on the small side, as it’s still well under 30 feet in length.
Forest River Sunseeker Classic 2440DS Floorplan
As the largest motorhome on this list though, the Sunseeker Classic 2440DS definitely has some features and amenities that are just not possible on smaller Class B and Class B+ RVs.
Such as a super spacious rear bath that spans the entire width of the motorhome, two separate slide-outs, and a large L-shaped kitchen with plenty of counter space.
In addition, the Sunseeker Classic 2440DS is also loaded with upgrades, including such features as an EZ Ryde premium suspension system, heated remote exterior mirrors, backup camera, side-view cameras, fiberglass running boards, and an extra-large 12V 10.7 cubic foot refrigerator.
