Class C [[rv:intro|RVs]] are the most common motorhomes. They depreciate quickly and can be bought for relatively little on the used market. 

The traditional defining features of a Class C are cutaway van cabin mated to a straight-sided body, and overcab sleeping platform.

  * **PRO**
    * lowest cost motorhome
    * can be cheap on the used market
    * lots of room and amenities for the money
    * fiberglass-roofed models are more leak resistant and require less maintenance
  * **CON**
    * uneven build quality
    * front-facing windows on cabover are infamous for leaking
    * rubber roofs can leak and require resealing
    * very low MPG, often below 10
    * longer motorhomes have substantial rear overhang which limits departure angle.  Easy to "drag" even in urban environments.
