If you’re searching for a smaller motorhome but don’t want to sacrifice the essentials, you’re in luck! These Class A motorhomes under 30 feet still provide a comfortable living space while offering all the perks of a shorter RV. Check out these motorhomes that offer twin beds, king beds, additional overhead drop-down bunks, and more!
Key Takeaways
- Compact Yet Feature-Packed – Class A motorhomes under 30 feet offer full RV functionality in a smaller footprint, including twin-to-king bed conversions, slide-outs for added space, and fully equipped kitchens.
- Top Models for 2025 – Notable options include the 25’8” Thor Freedom Traveler A24 and Vegas 24.1, the 28’4” Coachmen Euro 25TB and 25EU, and near-30-foot models like the Jayco Alante SE 27ASE and Winnebago Sunstar 29V with an outdoor kitchen.
- Driveability & Storage – These motorhomes balance easy maneuverability and ample storage, making them ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small families looking for adventure without a CDL requirement.
26 Foot Class A Motorhomes
You won’t find many Class A motorhomes under 26 feet, but Thor manufactures two excellent options. Their floor plans are the same, so if you’re looking for separate sleeping spaces and a functional living area, look closely at what Thor offers.
Thor Freedom Traveler A24
Specs
- Length: 25’8”
- Chassis: Ford® E-Series
- GVWR: 12,500 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4
Several RV manufacturers have seen the need to offer floor plans with twin beds rather than a single queen or king bed. The rear twin beds in the Thor Freedom Traveler A24 serve the needs of friends traveling together or couples who prefer their own sleeping spaces. However, the twin beds convert to a full-width king for couples looking to cuddle together.
The living space of this Class A under 30 feet features a fully functioning kitchen along the camp side and a 66” sofa bed on the other. The removable pedestal table is great for meals or games, and it easily stows away when it’s time to watch a movie or host an overnight guest.
The single slide-out with the sofa makes the Thor Freedom Traveler A24 feel more spacious than you might think for a nearly 26-foot Class A RV. Whether you’re enjoying the space as a couple, a solo traveler, or a small family, you’ll have plenty of interior living space.
Thor Vegas 24.1
Specs
- Length: 25’8”
- Chassis: Ford® E-Series
- GVWR: 12,500 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4
The Thor Vegas 24.1 is another excellent 26-foot Class A motorhome. It features the same floor plan as the Thor Freedom Traveler A24, with standout features like an 8,000-pound hitch for easy towing, rotocast storage compartments that can be rinsed clean after each trip, and a 4,000-watt gas generator for off-grid power.
The main difference between the two is the exterior paint scheme. The Traveler line only offers standard black, blue, and gray graphics, while the Vegas line has four options. You can choose from the jet black edition, the stardust, the white lightning, and a similar blue graphic as the Traveler line.
28 Foot Class A Motorhomes
Moving up to slightly longer motorhomes, these Coachmen 28-foot Class A motorhomes provide more room for entertaining or lounging. Their layouts differ, so you have two great choices: a spacious rear bedroom or a larger living area. Let’s see which you prefer.
Coachmen Euro 25TB
Photos by Coachmen RV
Specs
- Length: 28’4”
- Chassis: Ford® F-53
- GVWR: 16,000 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4 with sleeper sofa option
The Coachmen Euro 25TB is another twin-to-king primary bed floor plan similar to the previous Thor coaches. However, because this RV is longer, you enjoy more kitchen counterspace, a larger bathroom, and a more comfortable living area.
The L-shaped kitchen provides an upgrade over the standard galley-style layout. You also have the option of either a sofa or two recliners in the single slide-out. The sofa has a sleeper option, providing an additional place for guests, while the recliners have a table in between that serves as a place to eat, play cards, or check emails.
However, one of the highlights of the Euro 25TB is the oversized rear pass through storage, which measures 95” x 38” x 37”. You’ll have plenty of room to bring along your pop up tent, camping chairs, fishing poles, and whatever else you need to enjoy your trip!
Coachmen Euro 25EU
Specs
- Length: 28’4”
- Chassis: Ford® F-53
- GVWR: 16,000 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 3
If you prefer more room in the rear bedroom than the front living space, check out the Coachmen Euro 25EU. It features a slide-out with a king bed, a closet with washer and dryer hookups, and a spacious bathroom—all in the back of the coach.
While the living area is more compact than in Coachmen’s other 28-foot motorhome, the Euro 25EU does come with a 63” sofa along the camp side and two chairs with a table on the other. The kitchen is small but still provides everything you need for a fun camping trip—an induction cooktop, convection oven/ microwave, 12-volt refrigerator, stainless steel sink, and ample storage.
Other Options for a Class A Under 30 Feet
With one inch to spare, these Class A motorhomes under 30 feet provide cozy interiors and all the features you need to enjoy a weekend camping trip or cross-country adventure. Each coach features a rear king bed, excellent bedroom storage, an L-shaped kitchen, and living areas with a dinette and a sofa.
Jayco Alante SE 27ASE
Specs
- Length: 29’11”
- Chassis: Ford® F-53
- GVWR: 18,000 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
Jayco also offers a king bed option in its Alante SE 27ASE. This 30-foot Class A camper features a large wardrobe along the rear wall and a second wardrobe at the bedroom’s entrance. With the rear slide-out, this bedroom feels more roomy than some Class A motorhomes under 30 feet.
The living space has a booth dinette across from a 68” jackknife sofa, providing two separate spaces for lounging and eating. However, the kitchen is quite small and has limited counterspace even though it still has all the basic RV cooking appliances.
The second slide-out in the living area provides a nice space to walk around without feeling cramped. If you camp with pets, it’s a great interior for them to lounge and play!
Jayco Alante 27A
Specs
- Length: 29’11”
- Chassis: Ford® F-53
- GVWR: 18,000 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
The Jayco Alante 27A has the same layout as the Alante 27ASE but with minor changes. For example, this motorhome has a counter extension, providing more meal prep space. There’s also a cockpit table, which gives you an additional workspace or dining area for guests.
The Alante 27A also offers a second interior option, the modern farmhouse. On the outside, you’ll enjoy access to an entertainment center – the perfect addition for RV tailgating!
One particular feature of these Jayco Class A motorhomes under 30 feet is the drop-down overhead bunk. If you’re bringing the grandkids one weekend or welcoming friends the next, there’s an easy-to-convert second sleeping space.
Entegra Coach Vision 27A
Specs
- Length: 29’11”
- Chassis: Ford® F-53
- GVWR: 18,000 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
The last Class A under 30 feet on our list is the Entegra Coach Vision 27A. Like the Jayco Alante coaches, this camper has an RV king bed in a slide-out, a booth dinette, a jackknife sofa, and a drop-down overhead bunk. This smaller Class A motorhome also has a counter extension in the kitchen, which is a great feature since this area of the motorhome is pretty small.
But what limited space you have in the kitchen is forgotten once you see how much storage you have. Overhead cabinets line the driver and passenger sides of the living area, and two wardrobes in the rear bedroom provide ample room for clothing storage.
Outside, you’ll enjoy the shade of an 18’ awning and an exterior entertainment center. If tailgating is your passion, you’ll be the life of the party!
A 30-foot Class A Motorhome
Finally, if your max length is 30 feet, check out the Winnebago Sunstar 29V. Its huge super slide provides a spacious interior for pets and guests, and its outdoor kitchen allows you to enjoy morning bacon on the griddle or sizzling burgers for dinner.
Winnebago Sunstar 29V
Specs
- Length: 30’
- Chassis: Ford® F-53
- GVWR: 18,000 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 5
At exactly 30 feet long, the Winnebago Sunstar 29V is the only motorhome on our list to offer an outdoor kitchen. If you love outdoor cooking, you’ll love this setup with an outdoor mini fridge, LP quick connect, stainless steel sink, storage cabinets, a bottle opener, and a paper towel holder.
Inside, you’ll find a super slide that extends almost the entire length of the motorhome. This layout offers a spacious walkway for comfortable camping, especially if you bring along your pet! A sofa bed sits opposite a booth dinette, and the L-shaped kitchen offers good counterspace and overhead storage.
In the rear is a king bed across from two wardrobes. A sliding door provides privacy. If you need more sleeping space, consider the optional loft bed, which is comfortable 50” wide x 80” long.

What Is the Shortest Class A Motorhome?
You won’t find many Class A motorhomes under 30 feet. But of these mentioned, the Freedom Traveler A24 and Vegas 24.1 are 25’8” long. Keep in mind that this includes the cockpit. So your livable space is actually much smaller.
Do Class A Motorhomes Require a CDL?
You don’t need a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to drive a motorhome, but we highly suggest practicing before you hit the road for the first time. Take your Class A motorhome to an empty parking lot—like a school on the weekend or a church during the week—and practice making turns, backing up, and parking. This will only boost your confidence, allowing a more stress-free RV driving experience.

What are the prices of the class A RV?
I like to have the bells and whistles but also would rather shorter unit…..would a 26′ class A have the drivability and accessibility of those concerns mentioned in the above article? Thanks for any help
Thank you for this review on various motorhomes under 28 feet long. Depending on the stage of life, financial status, etc., some people look for specific measurements when purchasing an RV. Keep up the good work!
I have a 2018 Jayco Alante as shown above. It has the JRide but seemed to sway allot. When a semi truck would approach from behind and pass me, the motorhome would sway towards the shoulder of the road then back to the center. So I added a Roadmaster rear sway bar for $1,200. It might need a front sway or steering bar.
