What is a Class B RV? What is a Class B Plus motorhome? Is there a difference between the two?

If you’re planning your next great adventure and want to get a vehicle that is reliable, comfortable, compact, and efficient, a Class B motorhome is just the thing for you.

Continue reading to learn more about the pros and cons of Class B motorhomes as well as where to get your Class B RV from or get in touch with Kirkland RV to speak with one of our staff about our selection of Class B motorhomes.

What Is a Class B Motorhome?

A Class B motorhome is an RV that is built on the chassis of a van (such as a sprinter van or VW van). It is best suited for smaller traveling groups, couples, or singles due to its compact size.

Class B Motorhome

Even though it doesn’t have the dimensions of a fifth-wheel RV, Class B motorhomes are still able to pack quite a bit in their small size and usually come outfitted with amenities such as a galley kitchen, outdoor shower hookup, and a comfortable bed.

What Is a Class B+ Motorhome?

A Class B+ motorhome is simply a larger Class B RV.

Class B+ motorhomes are a sort of RV hybrid — a mix between a Class B and a Class C RV. They are sometimes built on the chassis of a school bus (or another type of bus) and have slightly more space than a plain Class B RV.

Pros & Cons Of Class B Motor Homes

  • Easier to handle, drive, and park.
  • Possesses all of the same necessary amenities as larger RVs (a toilet, shower hookup, mini-fridge, etc.).

Now let’s take a look at some of the cons of Class B RVs.

Cons:
