What is a Class A Motorhome?
One of the main differences that distinguish Class A, Class B and Class C motorhomes are the frames that the vehicles are built on. Class A motorhomes are some of the largest vehicles on the road. They are built on the same chassis- or frame- as buses and commercial semi-trucks and therefore are comparable in size. They are made to be heavy-duty, with a strong and reliable frame, similar to that of an 18-wheeler. They typically range anywhere from 25-45 feet in length, and most have a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, with the exception of Diesel Class A’s, which can tow up to 10,000 pounds.
