Class B RVs Are a Car and a Holiday Packed Into One Vehicle

By Jim Tolar | March 13, 2010

Class B RVs top our list for fun and convenience in one place. Class B RVs are elite model vans. They don’t just have a few seats in the back to pack in a ton of people. These RVs are designed for people who want the ease of driving a standard vehicle with the added luxury of having a bed, kitchen, bathroom and relaxation area included. It’s a vacation on wheels and ready to take you anywhere.

Class B RVs and essentially pimped out vans. They are extended through a panel system to create room for all the basic living essentials. From simple to lavish, Class B RVs have a kitchen, bathroom, recreational area and bedroom built in. Designed for couples, most models offer great travel space for two, however the roomier designs let you bring another couple or the kids for the ride.

Class B RVs are often looked at as the money savers of RVs. Because they are more streamlined than a traditional RV, their gas mileage is decreased, running at 18mpg. The ability to use Class B RVs as both a get-away vehicle as well as a car for running errands in town makes this a great choice for those who can only afford one family vehicle but want a way to head out on longer vacations as well.

When traveling with more than one person, everyone is generally on a different schedule for restroom stops and hunger pangs. All of this is solved with the built in bathroom and kitchen. Kids won’t be begging for a restroom stop five minutes after you’ve pulled out of the restaurant. It cuts travel time down and keeps everyone happy.

Class B RVs measure 16-21 feet from bumper to bumper. Their size makes them easy to park in the busiest streets and easy to navigate through jam-packed events. They also work well when you’re heading to baseball and football games, concerts or a beachside vacation.

Buying a Class B RV won’t break the bank. The starting price of around $30,000 is a lot cheaper than trying to buy a new car and paying for hotel and airfare for ten years of family vacations. It’s an investment that will reward you with fond memories and adventures you can create through spur of the moment decisions to stop at unknown places, or a well planned itinerary that takes you exactly where you want to go and when. Used vehicles can also be a great investment, just be sure to have them checked out thoroughly first.

RVs have great financing incentives. Spread out payments over fifteen years for a solid investment that will pay back quickly. As another reason to buy, Class B RVs are considered the equivalent of a second home and as such qualify for tax breaks. Any qualified accountant can help you with the details.

Because Class B RVs are built on a van base, they are like driving a car. Power steering and cruise control are amenities you can enjoy as well as bringing all the comforts of home on the road.

We give Class B RVs as Class A ranking. As far as we’re concerned, Class B RVs are the best vehicle on the road for an around-town car and on-the-road adventure vehicle. They are easy to maneuver, have better gas mileage than a Class A RV and will be taking you where you want to go for years to come.
