A Class B RV is on trend this year, and for a good reason. The small motorhomes are minimalistic, with everything you need for a road trip. Whether you take weekend camping trips or are preparing for long-term travel, a Class B can be an excellent option for a solo traveler or couple.
Here, we look at eight of the best Class B RVs on the market. Various brands make them, and each has unique features.
Let’s take an up-close look.
What Is A Class B RV?
A Class B RV is the smallest of all three types of motorhomes (Class A, B, and C RVs). Class B motorhomes are sometimes called camper vans since they’re on a van chassis. And most are built in manufactured vans such as a Dodge Ram Promaster, Ford Transit, or Mercedes Sprinter.
What Is the Difference Between a Class B and Class C RV?
A Class B RV is built within an already manufactured van. In contrast, a Class C RV is on a van or truck chassis. In other words, when the Class C motorhome is in production, it starts with the chassis and cab, and then the “house” goes on top of the chassis. The interior wiring, plumbing, cabinetry, and other components get made first, and then the walls and roof are put on around it.
How Much Does a Class B RV Cost?
Class B RVs may be among the smallest motorhomes on the market, but they can also be expensive. You can purchase a new Class B from $90,000 to over $200,000.
Part of the reason they’re so pricey is due to manufacturing. Since the camper shell is already there (the van), building the interior of such a small space can get complicated. It drives up the labor costs and detailing of Class B motorhomes.
