10 Best Class B RVs in 2022
Class B RVs are all the rage this year, and for good reason. The small motorhomes offer an opportunity to get away from it all in style while still having everything one needs on their vacation list (iPads not included).
Whether you take weekend camping trips or plan ahead with long-term travel strategies; these cozy homes can be perfect options whether traveling solo or as part of a couple!
So below we’ll look at ten different brands who make our top 10 list. There are many different brands, each has unique features.Â
Let’s start our tour here with this commonly asked question:Â
What is a Class B RV? Â
A Class B RV is the smallest of all three types of motorhomes (Class A, B, and C RVs). Class B motorhomes are sometimes called camper vans since they’re on a van chassis. And most are built in manufactured vans such as a Ram Promaster, Ford Transit, or Mercedes Sprinter.
What’s the Difference between a Class B and Class C RV?
A Class B RV is built within an already manufactured van. In contrast, a Class C RV is on a van or truck chassis. In other words, when the Class C motorhome is in production, it starts with a chassis and cab, and then the “house” goes on top of the chassis. The interior wiring, plumbing, cabinetry, and other components get made first, and then the walls and roof are put on around it.
How Much Does a Class B RV Cost?Â
Class B RVs may be among the smallest motorhomes on the market, but they can also be expensive. You can purchase a new Class B from $85,000 to over $200,000. Â
