The Benefits of Choosing an A-class Motorhome

Where quality meets luxury, A-class motorhomes are some of the biggest on the market. Only the so-called toterhome, built on a heavy-duty truck chassis and capable of towing large trailers, exceeds it. With plenty of space to offer, the A-class has many of the features and amenities you can expect to find in your own home. By comparison, class B motorhomes are panel van conversions, commonly known as campervans. Class C vehicles, although implying a reduction in size, are in fact coach-built vehicles which are typically bigger than class B, with an over cab for sleeping. If you’re wondering if an A-class vehicle is the right choice for you, this guide gives you all you need to know.

5 benefits of owning an A-class

1. Space
   Perhaps the most sought after benefit of an A-class motorhome is the space it has to offer. Averaging at 10 metres (30 ft) in length and 2.5 metres in width (8 ft 6 in), A-class motorhomes offer larger showers, more lounge space, full kitchen units, and additional beds. Not only this, but they also sleep up to 6 people, which makes them a great option if you have children, pets, or simply want more space when travelling long distances or for longer periods of time. With space also comes more storage, allowing you to create the ‘home from home’ you’ve perhaps always been looking for. This combination of space and storage allows for premium comfort, providing the most luxury touring experience.
2. Better insulation
   With an A-class motorhome, you get a fully insulated coach-built vehicle. If you’ve ever avoided those winter getaways, it may be time to consider an upgrade!
3. Greater windscreen visibility
   Given the much larger windscreen that comes with a larger vehicle, you can expect greater visibility. Many drivers prefer this option as it allows them a better view, enabling them to feel more in control, whilst taking in the beauty of the open road.
   
4. Garage
   Fancy your very own garage space? Perhaps you have your own motorbike but are currently unable to take it away in your current motorhome? Externally accessible garages in A-class motorhomes offer plenty of space for all those outdoor accessories. They are also disability friendly, with a ramp to allow easy loacding and offloading. There’s also the option to convert them into an additional room – perhaps an office, or something fun such as a games room.
   
5. Full width cab
   This feature adds to the flow of the motorhome. Spanning the full width of the vehicle, the cab feels part of the living space, giving an integrated and homely feel.
   

Things to think about:

• Sometimes, an additional driving license may be required for vehicles over 3500kg. However, many A-class vehicles sit under 3500kg, so can be driven under the standard license.
• Size: Given their size, many A-class motorhomes are noticeably larger to drive and feel wider on the road. If you’re not a confident driver, this is something to be aware of. You can take the motorhome on a test drive to gauge whether or not it’s for you.
