Class C Motorhomes in Renton

Class C motorhomes – also called mini-motorhomes – have been a consistently popular choice for RV-travelers since the early 1970s. This type of RV is roughly the size and shape of a rental moving truck. Second only to Class A in luxury and size, the Class C is a flexible motorhome that can be tailored to fit small families, a retired couple, or anyone in between. Class C motorhomes have the widest range of slide-outs available, and many additional features can be added onto newer models.

 

Perks and Features of Class C motorhomes include:

  • Easy to maneuver: People with experience driving large trucks, such as moving trucks, will easily be able to handle it.
  • Accessibility to RV while moving: The living compartments are connected to the driving area, which makes the space more available, even during travel.
  • Safety: The cockpit construction of the RV is considered one of the safest RV designs.
  • Towing ability: Able to tow a vehicle behind or support a carrying platform on a hitch receiver.
  • More efficient heating and cooling: The smaller driving compartment with a separating curtain allows for the unit to more easily be heated or cooled than a larger motorhome.
  • Spacious: Large living areas are standard, and many slide-outs are available.
  • Good for larger groups: The cab-over bunk provides extra sleeping space, allowing room for 8.

Of course, there are some tradeoffs to Class C motorhomes. The same qualities that some people find appealing may be a nuisance for others.

  • Size: The size of the models can make them difficult to maneuver in very tight spaces.
  • Too large for cities: Most models are too bulky to drive on side streets or in city traffic, making alternative transportation necessary.
  • Storage: When not in use, Class C’s require a large amount of storage area to protect it from the elements.
  • Not a full-time option: Generally, not spacious enough for full-time occupancy, unless a particularly large model is chosen.
  • Maintenance: Slide-outs require proper maintenance and sometimes repairs.

 

Cost of Class C Motorhomes

When deciding whether a Class C motorhome is the best choice for your RV budget, there are a couple of things to consider.

First, the cost of the motorhome itself. A new Class C RV will range in price from about approximately $30,000 to $100,000. Used Class C motorhomes cost significantly less, ranging in price from as low as $8,000 to upwards of $30,000. The prices will vary according to the number of slide-outs and additional features of each RV.

Second, the fuel-economy of the Class C RV. They generally achieve between 8-12 miles per gallon.

As you can see, there are a few financial considerations to make regarding the Class C motorhome. If fuel efficiency is not your priority, and the features of the RV are appealing, it may be the perfect fit!
