More people in the family are willing to drive the Class B versus a Class C or larger.

Find it funny you think a Class B is no easier to drive than larger motorhomes, yet think more people in family would drive one when they won’t larger rigs.

I have driven various Class Cs and various vans for 1,000s of miles (not just a test drive around the block) and will say that anyone who thinks that it’s just as easy to drive a 30-foot motorhome as a van camper has either not actually driven a van camper, or else drove the world’s worst excuse for one. It’s not the main reason to buy a “B”, but it’s an advantage nonetheless. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.




P.S. — My reference to using van camper as a second car must have been taken out of context. By “second car” I meant using van as a daily driver, which we do. At one time wife had an SUV, I had a car, and we also had a motorhome used for camping. Since downsizing from Class C to van camper, it also replaced my car, so I now drive van daily just like previous car. In that light, I don’t see anyone routinely using a 30-foot motorhome as a daily driver to take kids to school, go to mall, jury duty, etc. Technically it can be accomplished, but a Class B is far more likely to replace another family car than is a 30-ft motorhome for everyday transportation.
