Motor Homes Overview

Motorized vehicles include motor homes and van campers, both of which are self-contained units built on a truck or van chassis with living, sleeping, cooking, and bathroom facilities accessible from the driver's seat without leaving the vehicle. Motor homes are divided into type A, B, and C classifications.
Motor homes, or motorized recreational vehicles (RVs), come in different classes. Two that are associated with each other and often confused are the Class A and Class C motor homes.

A quick way to tell the difference between a Class A and Class C motor home is by physical appearance. The former resembles a bus in design with a "flat" or vertical front end and large windows. Class C motor homes by contrast have a "truck cab" with an over-cab bed, much like a camper.
