Features of the Class B Motorhome

	Easy to drive, easy to load, and can be left ready for a quick getaway.
	All conveniences of home are built in, including shower, sleeping, dining and cooking facilities. These compact units are an engineering marvel.
	Useful for towing: a camping trailer could be towed behind giving you extra sleeping room for the kids or guests. Some prefer to tow a boat or a snowmobile, but it is also possible to tow a small family car.
	Full stand-up room: this is achieved by the raised roof, and sometimes by the use of dropped floors, for extra head-room inside.
	Fully winterized versions for winter RVing, include a high BTU furnace, heated tanks, upgraded insulation and double-glazed windows.
