What Are Class B Motorhomes?
Class B motorhomes, also referred to as “camper vans”, are the smallest of the three classes of motorhomes; providing a luxurious and comfortable travel experience, without the strain of a full sized motor-coach.
Class B motorhomes are built using an automotive manufactured van chassis; which provides smooth drivability and easy parking, a great feature to transport you from bustling city amenities to wilderness adventures. One of the most underrated features of the Class B motorhome is the expertly designed raised roof, which provides enough space for standing – making this pint-sized contender a real all-in-one home on wheels.
The days of choosing between the amenities of a Class A or Class C motorhome, and the ease of a Class B, are history! At General RV Center we stock a full line of camper vans that will quickly make you feel right at home, out on the road.
