How Long Is a Class C RV?

Class C RV Specifications

Class C RVs range from 20 to 41 feet long. Most popular lengths are between 30 and 33 feet. Their width is limited to 8 or 8.5 feet due to highway regulations. The maximum height reaches around 11 feet with rooftop air conditioners. With proper maintenance, Class C motorhomes can last over 200,000 miles. Some even reach 300,000 miles.

  • When purchasing, consider diesel versus gas engines. Diesels perform better in cold weather. But they cost more, though they have higher resale value.
  • Floor plans, amenities, and sleeping arrangements for anywhere from 2 to 10 people vary greatly between models. Prices range from $50,000 to $170,000.
  • Financing spreads payments over time, making Class C RVs more affordable. But check financing terms as lengths vary between lenders.

Safety Features and Maneuverability

With airbags and seatbelts, Class Cs can be safer than Class As in frontal collisions. Still, operating them safely falls to the driver.

Less spacious than Class As, Class Cs offer more space than Class B vans. Their smaller size also makes maneuvering into campsites easier than Class As.
