Benefits Of A Class C Motorhome

Motorhomes offer you an amazing way to see the country on a low budget. Not only will you have a convenient way to get around, but you carry your accommodations with you so you save on hotel fees and have everything you need at all times. Class C motorhomes are a particularly popular style of motorhome for a number of reasons, which we’ve enumerated below for your convenience. When you’re ready to see a great selection of Class C motorhomes for yourself, visit Campers RV Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Lots Of Interior Space

Class C motorhomes sit between Class A and Class B motorhomes in terms of space. While a Class A motorhome might provide you with more length, Class C motorhomes have spacious layouts that give you comparable amounts of floor space so that you and your family can spread out when you’re relaxing at the end of the day. You’ll have more room for your belongings and more space for the kids to play in without feeling cramped.

Driveability

How easy a vehicle is to drive is up for some debate due to the subjectivity of the topic, but many motorhome owners find Class C motorhomes easier to drive than Class As. Class C motorhomes have a more truck-like cab than Class As, which feel more like a bus. In a Class C motorhome, the gas and brake pedals are located in the center-right position common on many passenger vehicles. However, on a Class A, the pedals are pushed further off to the right to make room for the steering column, which can steepen the learning curve when it comes to driving these motorhomes. Class C motorhome cabs are also much closer to the ground, meaning that you won’t be perched so high that you’re unaccustomed to the visibility present on a Class A. The tighter turning radius on a Class C motorhome also makes them much easier to drive, owing to their shorter length in general.

Higher Crash Test Ratings

Class C motorhomes come out better in crash test ratings than Class A motorhomes. While this might not make sense to you initially considering how large and impervious Class A motorhomes are, it’s because Class C motorhomes provide more front-impact protection due to the location of their engine. Class Cs also have airbags, which can’t exist on Class As because of the positioning of their steering wheels.

More Sleeping Berths

Another benefit of Class C motorhomes is how much space they provide for sleeping. You’ll be able to take the whole family along with their guests and have enough berths for everyone to sleep comfortably each night. Class C motorhomes often have an extra berth over the cab in a small alcove that gives you more space without adding length to the vehicle.

Lower Price

Some controversy exists in the world of motorhomes, but a Class C motorhome generally costs less than a similarly sized and equipped Class A motorhome. However, there is a great deal of variance in price between brands, with higher costs generally circling around trim packages and additional features. If you find two motorhomes of a similar make, though, the Class C motorhome is likely to be the more affordable option. You can then put this savings towards your travels or to adding your own aftermarket upgrades that suit your needs perfectly!
