More Than A Number

Like automobiles, motorhomes are distinguished by class and manufacturer. These factors also strongly also affect the price of new RVs, as well as the motorhome resale value of used. Recreational vehicle (RV) classes include A, B, and C. Class A is the most expensive and largest sized, and they often come with luxury comforts. Class B is medium-sized and medium priced. Class C motorhomes are the smallest and offer the most economically cost. Reputable motorhome manufacturers include Fleetwood, Four Winds, and Winnebago. For consumers, researching manufacturers is a good start to learning about basic differences between motorhomes and preferences of RV enthusiasts. No matter which manufacturer buyers prefer, the price on used rvs can differ dramatically from the price of new ones!

• Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. is headquartered in Riverside, California. It is one of the top RV manufacturers in the United States. Fleetwood produces various types of motorhomes including Class A and Class C recreational vehicles, travel trailers, 5th wheels, and folding trailers.
• Four Winds is among the top RV manufacturers in the United States as well. Four Winds is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana. This company produces Class A and Class C motor homes. Four Winds is a subsidiary of Thor Industries, Inc., which makes not only recreational vehicles, but also commercial buses.
• Winnebago Industries, Inc. is headquartered in Forest City, Iowa and is another top RV manufacturers in the country. Winnebago produces Class A and Class C motor homes. (Note that the brand name Winnebago is often used interchangeably with the term motorhome. So, often when people refer to “a Winnebago,” they may actually be referring to a motorhome manufactured by a different company.)

Deals can be found on RVs made by each manufacturer, and used vehicles in particular can offer an excellent RV value. Consumers may check the blue book value for a motorhome of any class made by each manufacturer. El Monte RV is on motorhome dealer that offers rental and sales on vehicles by all three of these RV manufacturers.
