Between the rising popularity of #vanlife and the increasing interest in overlanding — a combination of boondocking and off-roading — Class B RVs are garnering a lot of interest. If the idea of traveling in a compact, easy-to-drive RV is on your wishlist, the Class B could be a perfect fit. To help you in your search for the perfect camper van, RVT is taking a look at the top five Class B 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 B Motorhomes at a Glance:
- Also known as camper vans, Class B motorhomes typically look like a standard passenger van, but a bit larger. Most range from 17 to 23 feet long.
- They will easily fit in the driveway or garage (ideal for moochdocking or stealth camping).
- They’re great for tailgating parties, and are equally at home in the wilderness or a well-appointed campground.
- For those who like remote settings, 4×4 adventure vans like the Winnebago Revel may be ideal.
- Camper vans typically sleep two people comfortably, so they are best suited for couples or solo travelers, although some models feature pop-up sleeping areas that provide space for extra guests.
