Class C RVs for Rent

The cab-over motorhome many families rent first.

A Class C motorhome is built on a truck or van cutaway chassis, with the driver's cab attached to the living area. Most have a bed over the cab, which is how you can usually spot one.

They drive more like a large pickup than a bus, which makes them a common first rental for families. Ask about sleeping layout: the cab-over bunk, dinette and sofa often convert to beds.

Why families start with a Class C

A Class C motorhome is built on a van or truck chassis with a cab you will recognize from a work van or pickup. The over-cab bunk adds sleeping space without making the RV longer, so many Class Cs sleep a family of four to six.

They drive more like a large van than a bus, which makes them a common first rental.

Driving and parking

Class Cs fit in more campsites than a big Class A and handle mountain roads more easily than a big trailer. They are still tall and long: watch clearances, take wide turns and use lower gears on long descents.

Getting around at camp

Once you are hooked up, the motorhome is your only vehicle unless you bring or tow a car. Many families plan day trips before they set up, or rent bikes in town.

Class C motorhome questions

Straight answers before you book. Always check the specific RV's weights and your vehicle's ratings.

Do I need a special license for a Class C?
In most states, a standard license covers rental Class C motorhomes, but rules vary by state and weight. Check yours before you book.
How many people can sleep in a Class C?
Many sleep four to six, using the over-cab bunk, a rear bed and a dinette or sofa that converts. Check seat belts too: everyone needs a belted seat while driving.
Is a Class C hard to drive?
Most drivers adjust quickly. It feels like a large van, with more height and length. Practice turning and backing in an empty lot first.
How does a Class C do in wind?
Like any tall vehicle, it can get pushed by strong crosswinds. Slow down on gusty days, especially on open plains and high passes.
Can I tow a car behind a Class C?
Some can tow a small car or trailer. Ask the owner whether the RV has a hitch and what it is rated for.
Can a Class C be delivered?
Yes, when the RV is listed with RVRents and marked Delivery available.
