[@HerseySyntheticOil]

Well done sir. My wife and I are seriously considering trying the rv lifestyle as we wind down. We are 65 and are looking into becoming rv'ers when we reach 70. So we have time to do some homework. Thank you for your very professional intro to class A and C.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Thanks for the positive feedback Randy. You are doing the right thing by getting as much information as you can well before you plan on actually getting started. You will avoid a lot of uninformed mistakes that way. And I'm glad you enjoyed the video too!

[@jtosti66]

Great information, I agree with all of your speaking point. I have a 26’ class C and it’s great how nimble it is. 👍🏼

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

That's great Jeffrey. There are definite advantages to having a mid-size RV. And Class Cs fit that bill very well. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

[@michaelsimmons2497]

Thanks. You helped me to get over my ego thinking that I HAD to get a class A! Class C actually sounds pretty good for me!

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Hi Michael. I'm glad that this video was helpful. A lot of RV buyers think that they need a certain kind of RV without knowing why. That's why I make these videos. When you know the pros and cons of each type of RV, it may be surprising to find that a different type of RV actually fits your needs better. I hope you find the perfect RV for your style of camping and travel!

[@campingalan]

Awesome tips, Duane. Thank you very much for including this topic in your selection of videos! My wife and I are in the midst of this decision. I think we are currently tending towards a Class C; but that is not set yet. We're in a somewhat remote part of CO. So, when ever we can take a trip to a metropolitan area, we should fence off some time to see both Class A's and C's. Stay safe, sir!

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Thanks Alan. I recommend that you see as many RVs as you can. There is no substitute for good research in this area. Go through both RV classes and take your time. Get familiar with the layouts and try out the bed, living area, bathroom, shower, etc. After awhile you should get a good feel for which RV class will fit you best. Happy hunting! :-)

[@rejeanpaquet4375]

Duane, good video, you covered pretty much all the pros of class A & C. I didn't hear you talked about cons. Personally I prefer the class A for roominess, towing capacity, larger tanks, big generator, larger storage bays and overall great comfort. Within class A you have 2 classes (gas & diesel), gas are usually smaller (30'-35'), tow less and cost less (purchase) and lower maintenance cost. Diesel pushers tow more, cost more at purchase, more $ for maintenance.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Hi Rejean. It's true that I didn't list the cons by number this time, but I tried to mention the drawbacks of each class as I went down the list of their advantages. In other words, what were their strengths and weaknesses. I figured it would save time that way. But maybe I didn't cover the cons as much as I should. And thanks for mentioning the two kinds of Class As too.

[@kayefink8293]

Still relevant information today. We are fulltimers but are looking at Class C’s for all the reasons you listed, more nimble, easier to work on etc. We want to travel more and live in the RV less. Currently have a 41’5” 5th wheel but have been stationary more than traveling. It’s been great but wouldn’t want to make the trips I’ve been dreaming about in it.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

It's much harder to move a big rig around and fit them in remote places where the scenery is incredible. It sounds like you are heading in the right direction for your next RV if that's what you want to do. Thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment too!

[@johnjackson374]

Ah Ramiro stole my question 😀. I think a better comparison with a class A is the super class C

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Actually that is a more balanced comparison overall. But the fact is that many people considering the purchase of a motorhome get stuck in the Class A vs Class C comparison instead. And there are a lot more Class Cs than Super Cs on the market. Hence this video. In the future I plan a Super C vs Class A video though. So stay tuned. :-)

[@tammy3458]

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Glad it was helpful Tammy. Thanks for watching and leaving some positive feedback!

[@roydavis2242]

Here's another one for you. If it has a drivers door it's probably a Class C. I had looked at a 45 ft. Super C that had 4 slides and a 40k lbs. towing capacity. Our 45 ft. DP tows half of that. Many argue that a Class C is safer in an accident but that's unsubstantiated. We love our DP because of overall living space. Often a Class C's driving seats don't turn around toward the living area easily.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Great points Roy. Those Super Cs are something, aren't they? In fact, they are so unique that I purposely did not include them in this video. I plan on making a video about them later on.

[@Ed-ip2sg]

I have a feeling I will be wrestling with this a or c decision for a long time. Living in a travel trailer toy hauler for now but thinking the motor home is a better option. Prefer easier maneuverability and lots of sleeping area for 6 grandkids. But I live in it. I move every month or two and the times all the kids are there together are rare. I have not boon docked yet but it’s in the future. Hard call. Thanks for the video.

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

I'm glad the video was helpful Ed. These kind of decisions about which RV will work best for your situation can be difficult.

I could be wrong though!

Hi Wilson. Buying a used RV can be an intimidating process for most people. I have made a guide to buying RVs that includes teaching you how to conduct your own personal RV inspection. It also includes a checklist to follow with each RV you look at to make sure that you don't miss anything. If you follow the advice in the guide, you will be able to find the right RV for your needs and make sure that it's not an RV money pit too. You can find a link to the guide here - rvinspectionandcare.com/avoid-an-rv-money-pit/

[@MrJJSimonds]

Thanks for the videos.. one subject that seems to be not as well covered, are reviews of .. errr...... older Class C and A RVs.. I am evaluating going down the road of a C or maybe and A, but definatly not with a toad ( going with mopeds & maybe some uber - if it's raining, where are we going anyway?) ) the budget is going to dictate buying used and doing so at a price point as far south of $20 as we can get. It is understood that at this price point there will be issues with age/condition. That said, knowing which brands models were of better quality when they were built, would be extremely helpful, as would the opposite. Certain Class C rental companies have their units built with a lot of heavier duty components, making these units a bit more desirable on the used market. I have been browsing the online RV ads and am starting to get a sense of where we can expect to be ... probably a unit prior to 2008 and not much older than 1998 if can be helped. I fell I have a good idea of how to avoid lemons and to find issues that would be problematic, but it would be good to have a "brand over view" that covers most of the mfgs. Thanks for asking... :D

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Hi Jason. I get a lot of questions about which manufacturers seem to be best and generally I can say that older Newmars, Tiffins and Monaco motorhomes seem to be well made from the factory. But I think it's also important to say that if the RV is more than 10 years old, the manufacturer nameplate does not mean as much as how well the previous RV owner maintained it. If you find an older RV that has had one owner and they have clearly maintained the rig carefully through the years, I would give it serious consideration for purchase.

[@MrJJSimonds]

@@RVInspectionAndCare Thank you... Understood... the dream find is the one owner looking for somone to care for their baby... I just saw a 25' '04 Gulfstream Class C "special Elite" or sum such... they are asking $24k... NADA has it at $13-15k..

[@sylviamccarthy118]

what are the pros and cons concern Class A and C in regards to insurance and financing? If this is going to be your "home" can you write off financing on both A and C?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Hi Sylvia. Differences in insurance and financing between Class A and Class C motorhomes are most often due to the age and expense of the RV rather than which type it may be. Of course, usually Class A RVs are more expensive to begin with and therefore cost more to insure. On the matter of writing off RV costs, I have to say that I am not really qualified to comment much on that. It probably would be best to check with an accountant or tax expert on that subject. Thanks for watching the video though and I hope it was helpful.

This is a most likely a dumb question and u think i know the answer. But do class A rc have more parking rules?? Since its class A do they have stricter city rules like semi trucks?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Hi Fabian. Class A RVs do not necessarily have more parking or driving rules than other RVs, except that they are bigger and you have to be more careful when in town or city driving. Also, there are a few states that require a special drivers license for driving one of the large diesel pushers Class As. But most don't have that rule. And some communities post signs disallowing the use of exhaust brakes in their area. But Class As generally do not have a lot of unique rules that come with them.

[@monkeyd2285]

Duane, are most class C’s on a Ford Chassis repairable at most Ford dealerships that repair trucks?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Good question David. Most Ford dealerships that repair commercial Ford vehicles can handle Class Cs on a Ford chassis. Some regular Ford dealers are not equipped for it. I understand that you can find the commercial truck Ford dealers nationwide at this link - fordcommercialvehiclecenter.com/ But keep in mind that many independent commercial truck repair shops can handle a Ford chassis with no problem too.

[@davidstein606]

And Duane, what about class A’s ? Are repair facilities harder to find for them? For example if you have a class a on a Ford chassis will all Ford dealers repair it?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

From what I have heard and read online, it seems that Class Cs with a Ford chassis are easier to get repaired at Ford commercial dealers than Class As. It depends on the facilities they have to repair that kind of rig. But once again, a lot of independent repair shops are able to handle Class As on a Ford chassis pretty easily. When you get into diesel pushers, that is usually where the repair facilities start to get more scarce.

[@davidstein606]

Very nice video

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Thanks so much David. I appreciate the positive feedback!

[@maoss40]

Does the gas class A drives better than class C?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

That's hard to say because it depends on what kind of driving you are talking about. In town driving is almost always better in a Class C due to its maneuverability and smaller profile. On the road, Class As often are more comfortable for the longer drive. I recommend that everyone considering Class A vs Class C drive both and see which kind of RV fits your style of RV travel best.

[@paulbenoit9431]

Great video as always! We're leaning toward a smaller class A, about 27-28 feet, for the living space. I do like the class C's ease of maintenance. Also, do you think one is inherently safer than the other? Thanks!

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Hi Paul. Actually that is another point of interest that I did not include in this video. Many Class Cs have air bags built into the can area and safety belts for several travelers. Many Class As do not have air bags and usually only a few safety belts, so in the matter of road safety, Class C RVs often get the nod.

[@rickfarinelli669]

what are the used Class C under 30'

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

There are several Class C RVs that are under 30 feet in length. Probably the best way to find them is to visit rvtrader.com and search for Class Cs. Then under the "Length" parameter on the left of the page set the maximum to 29 feet. Then just expand your search area to include as many RVs as you like. You will find several brands and models that make Class Cs under 30 feet that way. I hope that helps.

It's true that Super Cs and Class As are more alike, but many RV buyers are not clear on what the differences are between Class A and Class C RVs. That's why this video was made, to help them make an honest comparison of the pros and cons of each RV class. That way they can make the buying decision that fits their camping and travel style best. I will be making a video on Super Cs later.

Have you compared the Super C vs Class A?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Hi Jeff. I have not done a video on the Super C yet but I intend to do one soon. So just stay tuned, it's on the way! :-)

[@junetedjones895]

You really think you can get more people in a Class C? Class A's have a bed over the cab area for 2, usually a couch that sleeps 2 a dinette to sleep one or 2 kids, then a queen or king bed. Oh and then you can add a bunk model and that gives you 2 more. So lets see, That looks like you could possibly sleep 8 or 9 and if you have more, there is room for an air mattress for 1 or 2 more. Seat belts for at least 7, what does a Class C have?

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

To be fair, there are some newer Class As that are coming with the bed over the cab, but that has been a recent addition. By far most Class As on the road do not have that option. Also, many Class As do not have a dinette either, they often come with a dining table instead. Bunk models are available for Class As, but the majority of them do not come with that option as well. So when I said that Class Cs usually have more sleeping options than Class As, it was a generalization, not a hard and fast rule. In fact, with most of the comparison points that I covered you will find exceptions to the general statement that I made. For instance, most Class As have more living space than Class Cs, but there are some Class Cs that are actually bigger and have more living space than some of the smaller Class As. My experience has been that in general though, most Class Cs have more sleeping options than most Class As. But it's just an opinion.

Class A's don't get gas mileage because they're diesels and don't burn gas!

[@RVInspectionAndCare]

Thanks for the correction Gurn .... I suppose .... :-)

@@RVInspectionAndCare you're welcome :) you can call it "fuel mileage" then you can cover everything.
