Size: ranges from 6.4 to 12.2 meters (21–40 ft)
Cost: starting from approx. $70,000 *
Sleeps: up to 6 people, depending on the model

* Prices of new units are quoted in $Cdn.
Used models also available at your local RV dealer

Features of the Class A Motorhome

	Spacious and well equipped, even the basic models are well-appointed and roomy. But for anyone looking for the ultimate in luxury and elegance, Class A manufacturers have luxury models costing as much as $1 million.
	Slideout rooms give added space, moving the RV's exterior wall outward at the touch of a button, to enlarge the living, dining or kitchen area by up to 1 meter (3½ ft).
	Smooth and stable ride when the vehicle is properly loaded. Any experienced driver can take the wheel, and no special licence is required (unless the vehicle has air-brakes).
	A small vehicle can be towed behind, for short side trips once the motorhome is parked. Or you might prefer to tow a trailer to carry your boat or golf cart.
	Fully winterized versions for winter RVing, include a high BTU furnace, heated tanks, upgraded insulation and double-glazed windows.
