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.
