Class C Motorhomes

Class C Motorhomes are easily identified by their cab over bunk. These Motorhomes are built on a cab and chassis supplied by Ford, Chevrolet or Dodge. These chassis are commonly known as cut-aways. Some of the newer models have other makes of chassis like Volkswagen or the Freight liner Sprinter. To be considered a Class C there is always a bunk over the driver's seating area or in some cases this space has a T.V. and stereo and is known as a front entertainment area. They range in size from 20 to 40 feet for the most part although there are a few exceptions depending on age and manufacturer. Class C's are similar to a moving vans, but most of them are a large box attached to a van chassis and many don't have the cab over portion. Most C type Motorhomes have dual rear wheels similar to a dually pickup trucks. Class C's are available with single or multiple slide outs and many of the smaller ones have none. There are several manufacturer's building these units and many floor plans are available. Most R.V. rental companies use C type units because they are considered easy to drive, have passenger seating for six and are less expensive than Class A Motorhomes.

Trailer and Fifth Wheel Hitches

There are two basic RV hitches: travel trailer and fifth wheel hitches (see diagram). Hitches for travel trailers are called receivers and there are four different weight classes depending upon the size of the trailer. Fifth-wheel hitches are all similar. The basic difference between them is the removal. The new style hitch brackets on the pick-up's bed are directly over the frame, while the older style brackets are over the truck fender wells. The new hitch's advantage is the entire hitch is removable while only the bench can be pulled on the old style. Receivers are generally mated to trailers with an equalizing hitch head to distribute the weight and help eliminate sway.
