The surge in popularity of #vanlife, alongside a growing interest in overlanding—a blend of boondocking and off-roading—has led to increased attention on Class B RVs. If you’re considering traveling in a compact and easy-to-maneuver RV, a Class B could be the right choice for you. To assist in your hunt for the ideal camper van, RVT has compiled a list of the top five Class B RVs as rated by owners on RVInsider. These RVs are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, evaluating factors such as livability, quality, floorplan, driveability, and factory warranty.
An Overview of Class B Motorhomes:
- Commonly referred to as camper vans, Class B motorhomes resemble standard passenger vans but are slightly larger, typically measuring between 17 to 23 feet in length.
- These RVs can conveniently fit in a driveway or garage, making them ideal for moochdocking or stealth camping.
- They are fantastic for tailgating and work well in both natural settings and established campgrounds.
- Those who prefer remote adventures may find 4×4 options like the Winnebago Revel particularly appealing.
- Typically accommodating two people comfortably, camper vans are best suited for couples or solo travelers. However, certain models feature pop-up sleeping areas to accommodate additional guests.
