Class A Motorhomes (Diesel & Gas)
Rating Over 30 Different Class A RV Manufacturers
 Class A motorhomes are at the top of the list when it comes to luxury, style and performance in the RV world. Units range in weight from 15,000 to 35,000 pounds and stretch from 30 to 45 feet in length. Describing them as "motorhomes" is no exaggeration. Class A units come with almost everything one would expect in a home. At the very top of this list is an almost separate category of luxury Class A diesel motorcoaches or diesel pushers, costing $155,000 to 1.5 million or more.
Both gas and diesel motorhomes are usually constructed on semi-custom or custom chassis. Many Class A motorhomes feature automatic slide outs or fullside outs, which is the rave right now. The basements are becoming more efficient with increased storage space and better sliding mechanisms. The kitchens are becoming more elaborate with full size appliances and better use of space. The plumbing fixtures are residential size in most units including full size showers and washer/dryer units.
Most Class A motorhomes can sleep up to six people, depending on the model, and floor plan. The driver's seat in a Class A usually sits high and slightly outboard of the conventional driver position in a car, with the windshield stretching the full width of the motorhome for better visibility. Overall sales are down right now in this category because of higher gas prices. RV manufacturers are spending a considerable amount of money in research and development, trying to design lighter weight materials without compromising structural integrity, for improved fuel economy.
