What is a Class A Motorhome?

There are two basic types of Class A Motorhome. One is a rear engine diesel, commonly known as Diesel Pusher. The other usually has a gas engine up front and is known as a Class A. Both motorhomes have a bus type appearance from the outside. Class A Motorhomes are completely built by RV manufacturing companies. This means they start with a chassis and build the entire coach, including the driver and passenger areas. There are a variety of options and features you will find on Class A Motorhomes. These include: built in generators, in motion satellite systems, solar panels, multiple slide outs, multiple air conditioning systems and even heat pumps, in addition to all regular options like awning, tv antenna, stereo and microwave. Most of the body construction of these units is now laminated type with metal or aluminum frame or a combination. The exteriors are usually RV fiberglass siding and, as always, the better coaches have moulded front and rear fiberglass caps. Class A Motorhomes range in size from 22 to 44 feet. It is unusual to find a diesel pusher under 30' although there are some exceptions. Many people are afraid to drive these units because they are typically quite large. You would be surprised at the increase in visibility these coaches offer. Many of the buyers for these units have owned most other types and consider Class A's the ultimate RV.
