Benefits of Owning a Class B Motorhome
When you’re getting a new RV, you should consider investing in a motorhome. The biggest appeal of motorhomes is their containment. There’s no need to buy a tow vehicle, there’s no hitching process, you just get in and go. But motorhomes can also be big and even considering driving one can seem like a nightmare. Not to mention, it limits the number of places you can set up camp and you can spend a fortune on gas alone.
If you’re new to the motorhome world, you should know that there are three classes of motorhomes, mostly based on size. Class A and C motorhomes are generally the bigger models often associated with the motorhome look.
However, there is the Class B model that might be more your preference if Class A and C motorhomes are too big for you. You’ll still have everything you need for a comfortable camping trip without the extra hassle. Here at Autoplex RV, we’ve provided some of the best reasons for owning a Class B motorhome. Take a look and then check out some of the models on our showroom floor. We’re in Vulcan and High River, Alberta, proudly serving Calgary and all Alberta patrons.
Everything you Need in a Small Space
Even though you’ll have limited space in a Class B motorhome, you’ll still be able to fit all the important amenities you’ll need for comfortable living. They often come with sinks, microwaves, stoves, refrigerators, sleeping beds, small bathrooms, and TVs, all in a compact, easy to use space.
Easy to Park Nearly Anywhere
Because it’s roughly the size of a large van, you’ll find you can park it anywhere. Whether you’re pulling into a campground or stopping by the grocery store, you can use your Class B motorhome as a primary vehicle. Larger RVs are not as versatile and you often need to unhitch the RV or bring a more usable vehicle with you.
Better Gas Mileage than Other Motorhomes
The smaller, more aerodynamic style makes Class B motorhomes more fuel efficient. You’ll have more mileage and you won’t have to fill the gas tank regularly. This means you’ll save lots of money in the long run with a Class B motorhome.
Passengers can Ride Safely with Seatbelts
Class B motorhomes are so easy to use and so close to being just like a van, you could essentially use one as a second family vehicle. Passengers can ride in the cabin safely. There are seats specifically designed with seatbelts and safety features to protect your passengers. Not all other motorhomes can deliver on this.
Has Towing Capabilities
Even though you won’t need another vehicle, we know there are other reasons to tow something behind you, whether it’s because you want to bring along another trailer or if you have some sort of powersport vehicle to pass the time outside your motorhome. Class B motorhomes are capable of towing anything that fits within proper weight restraints so you can bring the extra equipment you’ll need for a good time outdoors.
These just skim the surface on practical uses of a Class B motorhome.
