Class C motorhomes (or Class C RVs) are the most common motorhomes. They depreciate quickly and can be bought for relatively little on the used market. The traditional defining features of a Class C are cutaway van cabin mated to a straight-sided body, and overcab sleeping platform.

PRO

  • lowest cost motorhome
  • can be cheap on the used market
  • lots of room and amenities for the money
  • fiberglass-roofed models are more leak resistant and require less maintenance

CON

  • uneven build quality
  • front-facing windows on cabover are infamous for leaking
  • rubber roofs can leak and require resealing
  • very low MPG, often below 10
  • longer motorhomes have substantial rear overhang which limits departure angle. Easy to "drag" even in urban environments.
