Class C or Class A Motorhome? Which is best?

Which style of RV travel is better – a Class C or Class A motorhome? After experiencing both, we’ve had a lot of questions about how the smaller Class C RV compares to our bigger Class A’s.

Which do we like better? We compare the two types, and share our initial thoughts so far on what each setup has to offer.

We loved the space and comfort that both of these Class A RVs offered. Especially as, with us both still working full time, we were able to create dedicated work spaces in each. We had a separate bedroom, and storage space – inside and out – was excellent.

Class A Motorhomes

But our gas RV had a weight issue – with tons of space but a lack of cargo carrying capacity (CCC) – hence one of the reasons we switched to a diesel motorhome. Albeit this was a much older and more affordable RV, which we fully renovated in our Ultimate RV makeover.

Our average fuel economy on the motorhomes was 6.5 – 8 miles per gallon. We drove around 9,000 – 10,000 miles per year in the motorhomes, and around 10,000 miles per year with our tow vehicle. So a total of about 20K miles per year all up.

Route Planning and Fuel Economy – Class A

We headed south to Florida in December 2021, for what we anticipated would be a two month, 5,000 mile round trip, but it’s turned out to be longer, which has given us a chance to really put this RV to the test.

Class C Motorhome

This Class C motorhome is a 2017 Winnebago Navion 24J, 25 feet in length, with a rear corner J bed. The bed is permanently set up, a bit smaller than a queen. and has a privacy curtain.

And the kitchen and bathroom, while adequate, are limited in space. We end up working from the booth dinette most of the time, which doubles as the dining/lounging area.
