First in a series examining the top RVs in each class, as rated by RV owners.
Now that spring is in the air and the camping season is within sight, you may be thinking about getting a larger rig to drive to your destination in style. Class A motorhomes are the largest and most luxurious of the motorized RV classes, and could be exactly what you’re looking for. However, there are so many makes and models to choose from, it can be overwhelming. Where do you even begin? To help you in your search, RVT is taking a look at the top five Class A RVs as rated by RV owners on RVInsider. RVs are rated out of 5 stars based on combined scores for livability, overall quality, floorplan, driveability, and factory warranty.
Class A RVs at a Glance
- They look similar to a bus, with a long body and flat front. Many are built on a bus chassis. Some people call them ‘apartments on wheels’.
- There are 2 types: Gas and Diesel. The Class A Diesel is more powerful and fuel efficient than a similar gas model. Diesel models are often referred to as ‘diesel pushers’.
- Their size typically ranges from 26 feet to 45 feet long. The longer rigs may not fit in some campgrounds—check before you book.
- Depending on the model, they may sleep up to ten people.
- Most have sections that slide out, further enlarging the interior.
- They typically have full-sized appliances and sleeping quarters.
- They are more expensive than other RV classes.
- No special driver’s license is needed.
