We’d all love to rush out and buy the largest, most well-equipped RV we can, but sometimes, smaller is better. Smaller class C RVs offer many of the benefits of their larger counterparts, but do so with a smaller price tag, better fuel economy, and easier maneuverability. Here’s some detail on how that could make your next road trip much more convenient and affordable.
Class C RV Maneuverability
Class C RVS are usually built on truck or van platforms, and most are much closer in size to those vehicle types than larger RVs. That makes them much more easily maneuverable on the road and at the campsite, as they drive more like regular vehicles, offering similar road feel and handling.
Another benefit of the smaller size is the ability to traverse a wider range of terrain types. Class C RVs make it easier to access more remote camping spots, and some retain the four-wheel-drive systems from the vehicles they’re based on. We’re not suggesting an off-road adventure in your RV, but we are saying that a Class C model could help you reach a remote campsite down a narrow trail.
Space and Storage
While Class C RVs are smaller than others, they offer generous amounts of living and storage space, and Jayco’s Class C models have been optimized for the most comfortable, convenient experience possible. Some have fold-out sofas, full-size appliances, and more.
Fuel Economy
Class C RVs might not offer the same level of fuel efficiency as the everyday vehicles they’re based on, but they are far more efficient than larger RV models. They are also usually less expensive to fix and maintain, lowering ownership costs over time. Beyond fuel costs, Class C RVs may be less expensive at the toll booth, as some states require additional charges for vehicles with more than two axles.

Features and Capability
A smaller size doesn’t necessarily mean a shorter list of features. Class C RVs usually offer many of the same amenities as the big boys, just on a smaller scale. Most have robust climate control systems and feature-rich bathrooms. Jayco’s models also focus heavily on storage and convenience, offering a generous amount of interior storage compartments without sacrificing living space.
