Best Class B RVs For Work and Travel
What is a Class B RV?
A Class B RVs, or camper van as it is sometimes dubbed, is an RV built from an automotive van or on an automotive van chassis. It's the smallest of the three types (classes) of motorhomes available. With a more compact size, Class B RVs can feel more comfortable and less overwhelming than larger motorhomes on the market. Especially to those who are new to the RV life. These small motorhomes are perfect for couples and single people, because they easily sleep one to two people, and in select units, up to three.
They can work well for small families or families with one or two small kids, especially if the Class B RV comes with a pop-top option that provides an extra sleeping area on the roof. These RVs are easy to drive and maneuver, much like a minivan or SUV, and they usually get better gas mileage compared to their bigger motorhome siblings.
