Most Class C motorhomes are built on cutaway chassis with a manufactured cab that has driver and passenger doors. A subgroup in this category consists of an RV body built on a cab-and-chassis pickup truck (without the truck bed). Such vehicles are usually equipped with four-wheel drive. For both types of vehicles, nearly all the automotive parts are standard and available at dealers across the country.
To most drivers, a Class C feels more carlike than a Class A the first time it is driven because the full width of the coach is behind them. In the past, the permanent bed over the cab section in a Class C, in large measure, accounted for the reduction in size and, to some degree, price compared to Class A models. A certain amount of agility is required to get in and out of this bed, and as a consequence some people don't care for the arrangement.
With the introduction of higher-rated chassis, Class C motorhomes have grown to lengths in excess of 30 feet, offering floorplans more akin to those of Class A motorhomes, featuring full-size beds in addition to the cabover bed.
