CLASS B MOTORHOMES
SIMPLE, YET LUXURIOUS CLASS B RVs
Travel should be simple and luxurious: that’s the B Van user’s mentality. Unlike Class A or Class C motorhomes, these small motorhomes do not have an attached cab; rather, they’re compact vans that include all of the motorhome features within the van itself.
Class B motorhomes have many names. You’ll hear them referred to as conversion vans, camper vans, B vans, and Class B RVs. Despite the name confusion, these small motorhomes are beloved by RV users everywhere.
A Class B RV is an automotive van that has been converted into a residential living space. RV manufacturers find ingenious ways to convert the van interior into a usable kitchen, bedroom, and living space.
Fall in Love with the Benefits of Camper Vans
Camper vans are great for consumers who are beginning the RV lifestyle or simply looking to downsize to get off the beaten path. Camper vans are the ideal fit for people who love the great outdoors and still want a comfortable place to rest their heads at night. They’re versatile, sleek, and still have the essential advantages of larger motorhomes like bench seats, sleeping space, a kitchen, and a wet bath.
Accessibility and Fuel Efficiency
Many people shop for B vans due to their accessibility. Because they’re much smaller than their Class A and Class C motorhome counterparts, they are easier to drive, easier to park, and easier to store at home. Plus, you’ll save on fuel since gas mileage doubles due to the fuel-efficient RAM Promaster® 3500 window van chassis.
Depending on terrain and upfit, the range of the B vans differs. The B van segment will most likely be the most fuel-efficient option in the motorhome market and we’d expect miles per gallon to range in the mid to high teens.
Unobtrusive, Compact Design
There’s nowhere a B van can’t go. As the most compact motorhome option, these compact rvs are welcome virtually everywhere. It’s small enough to park in your garage at home, making it easier to store in between trips. Running errands after you set up at the campground is no big deal since you don’t have to bother with slides.
While there is no universal standard for the length, height and width of a Class B camper van, the models are usually some of the smallest in the industry. Most Class B vans range from 17’-23’ in length, 9’-11” in height, and 8’ in width. However, it’s best to check the Class B RV specifications to get the precise dimensions of the vehicle you’re interested in.
Standard Features Offering Comfort and Class
Built for function and form, B Vans are outfitted with elegant interior design. Camper van interiors include plush furnishings and living amenities. No matter what Class B model you select, you’ll get to choose your floor plan, as well as the color of your floor and furnishings so your camper van feels like home.
