Choosing a recreational vehicle can be a difficult decision, but one way you can narrow things down is to select between a towable style and a motorhome, which has its own engine. As the largest style of drivable recreational vehicles on the market, Class A motorhomes offer some of the most luxurious and comfortable interiors you’ll ever see. These spacious vehicles provide you with all the room you’ll need for relaxing with your family on a camping trip.

Motorhomes of Texas has put together this brief guide to help you decide whether a Class A motorhome is the right choice for you. When you’re ready to check out our incredible selection of Class A motorhomes for sale, visit our dealership in Nacogdoches, TX.

What is a Class A Motorhome?

If you’re new to the world of motorhomes, then you’re probably wondering what a Class A motorhome is exactly. Motorhomes refer to self-contained RVs that come with their own drivetrains, so you can jump directly into the driver’s seat and start driving without having to haul it behind a tow vehicle.

There are different types of motorhomes that are broken down into different classes. If you’re looking for the biggest recreational vehicle out there, then the Class A motorhome is your style. They have a similar profile to a bus and come with enough amenities to let you and your family live in it as comfortably as in a house.

Space

Probably the biggest upside to owning a Class A motorhome is its size. These models have got impressive floor plans, an expansive set of features, and of course, the enormous engine that’s responsible for moving this house on wheels. The large engine allows you to easily haul an extra car with you in case you need it.

Some of these campers are over forty feet long with plenty of interior height so you won’t feel cramped while standing in them. More space means more sleeping accommodations so you can comfortably fit the whole family inside, plus guests. Class A motorhomes can sleep anywhere from two to a dozen people depending on the style you get, so if you’re looking to have a large gathering on all your camping trips, they’re a great investment.

The cab of Class A motorhomes is equally spacious, providing the driver and passenger with plenty of room to spread out and feel comfortable. The chairs often swivel, allowing the cab to become a part of the living space when you’re not driving, so you’ll be able to carry on conversations with your passengers without feeling separated.

Slide-outs

Slide-outs are another common feature of Class A motorhomes that gives them even more space inside by expanding the living space. If you live in your RV full-time or you go on a camping trip quite often, slide-outs can provide that little extra bit of elbow room you need to truly feel at home.

Durability

The chassis on a Class A motorhome is extremely strong and sturdy, providing a strong base that can withstand thousands of miles on the road and plenty of use. It’s comparable to the chassis of a semi-truck, just to give you an idea of how well-built these units are. Instead of the rubber roof on other RVs, many Class A motorhomes have a fiberglass roof that is tough enough to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. Due to their durability, these models don’t depreciate in value as much as other recreational vehicles, so you’ll be able to sell a Class A motorhome for a good price if you ever want to trade it in. 

Other Perks

Space and durability aren’t the only reasons to own a Class A motorhome. Another great feature is their weatherproofing, which lets you camp comfortably during any season, whether it’s the peak of summer or the middle of winter. The windshields of Class A motorhomes provide beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, and give you more visibility while driving. 

Class A motorhomes are ideal for full-time RV living because they often have amenities like washers and dryers, large water tanks, and a bigger kitchen. With a comfortable master bedroom that’s comparable to that found in a residential home, you’ll feel cozy and happy spending time in your rig.
