 Class B motorhomes present several design challenges that make the cost surprisingly high.  First, the RV amenities are built //within// the existing chassis and skin, which limits access for workers and fitment.((Other motorhomes are often built from the "ground up" with the walls and roof put on when needed))  Second, the available space is much smaller than on [[rv:class a|class A]] or [[rv:class_c|class C]]. Class B motorhomes present several design challenges that make the cost surprisingly high.  First, the RV amenities are built //within// the existing chassis and skin, which limits access for workers and fitment.((Other motorhomes are often built from the "ground up" with the walls and roof put on when needed))  Second, the available space is much smaller than on [[rv:class a|class A]] or [[rv:class_c|class C]].
