What is a Class C RV?

A Class C RV or motorhome is considered the more budget-friendly version of the Class A. According to Mobile RVing, a Class A motorhome is the largest class. It’s typically built on a truck or bus chassis. The Class C RV slots between the beastly Class A and more cramped feeling Class B RVs. 

It’s the middle class in terms of size, budget, and fuel economy. A Class C motorhome camper is typically built on a pickup truck or van chassis and often has an overhang over the cab designed for extra sleeping or storage space (or both). This type of camper sleeps a whole family and has more room for storage than a Class B option. Let’s go through a few examples of the models buyers can find under $60,000. 

The Coachmen Freelander offers an epic amount of floorplans

It’s possible to find a pretty upscale custom-built Coachmen Freelander floor plan with loads of amenities for under $60,000. This model can come configured in 1 of 20 ways. The Coachmen Freelander Class C RV is between 23 and 31 feet long.

This Class C motorhome camper weighs between 8140-12728 lbs. It also sleeps from 5-8 people. The Coachmen Freelander Class C motorhome is among the smallest in its class and you can buy it new for under $60,000 or used for less. 

The Winnebago Outlook is an award-winning RV option

RVing Planet gave the Outlook 25J floor plan for this Class C Winnebago five out of five stars. The Winnebago Outlook is a Class C RV motorhome that sleeps up to 5 or 6 people, but it’s said to better accommodate 2-4. There are five different floor plan configurations. 

Overall, the Winnebago Outlook is a class C RV option that offers all the basics plus options for more luxurious amenities such as a TV or powered patio cover. For anyone looking for a Class C motorhome camper in the $50,000-$60,000 price bracket, the Winnebago Outlook fits the bill. Plus, this is an RV that’s relatively easy to find both new and on the used RV market. 

Class C RV options that are both epic and affordable

Whether you are looking for a new or used RV, it’s important to stick to the budget you know is right for your household. The Coachmen Freelander and the Winnebago Outlook are both great examples of what’s out there. Plus, they’re in the Class C segment for under $60,000. They are both great models that are the right fit for a wide range of households.
