Looking to hit the road with your partner? Ready to explore destinations and find campsites that might be unavailable to larger campers and motorhomes? A Class B RV might be the right fit if you want to travel light, access more rugged destinations, or only need room for two.
Outdoor adventurers love camper vans’ compact designs and unique innovations. Because of their size, these RVs can often go where no other RVs can. So, let’s dive in and explore the best Class B RVs for couples!
Top Picks for the Best Class B RV for Couples
The vans on this list might be compact, ranging in length from 17’10” to 21’10”, but most still offer a wet bath, a sleeping area, a kitchenette, and excellent storage. Compared to Class C campers and Class A RVs, Class Bs are more fuel efficient, so we will explore the Class B RVs with the best fuel economy, too. Each RV camper features unique amenities and layouts, so explore each to determine which best fits your needs.
Thor Freedom Elite 17D
Specs
- Length: 17’11”
- GVWR: 8,550 pounds
- Chassis: RAM ProMaster 1500
The Freedom Elite 17D is the newest addition to Thor’s camper van lineup. At under 18 feet, it’s also one of the most compact camper vans out there. With a flip-up rear bed that prioritizes a massive rear “garage” for gear storage, this Class B RV floor plan is designed for couples or solo travelers.
In the cockpit, swivel chairs give you a comfortable place to sit when the weather doesn’t allow it outside. But the center of the floor plan also fits opposing dinette benches with a removable table for dining or remote work. Each bench is also built with a seatbelt for two extra travel-safe passenger seats.
The camper van’s 75” interior height makes it comfortable for taller travelers, and a 3,500-pound hitch rating gives you some towing capability. At the very least, you can feel comfortable securing a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier to increase your storage capacity. Other notable features include a Porta-Potti toilet, outdoor shower, solar prep, and an elevated L-track system for customizable overhead garage storage.
Thor Eddie Bauer 19EB
Specs
- Length: 19’8”
- GVWR: 9,050 pounds
- Chassis: Mercedes-Benz
The Thor Eddie Bauer 19EB is a compact Class B less than 20 feet long with everything you need for a fun camping trip. It features a 51” x 74” bed along the entire rear wall for a dedicated sleeping space. The kitchen has a 12V fridge, single-burner cooktop, stainless steel sink, and microwave. The bathroom features a cassette toilet and shower, so you can boondock without needing a campground bathhouse.
Finally, the Eddie Bauer 19EB has a booth seat with a removable table right behind the driver’s seat. With the swivel chairs, you can have a couple of friends over for dinner and drinks in a cozy layout. The Thor Eddie Bauer 19EB offers an estimated 14-18 MPG, benefiting from its compact size and Mercedes-Benz chassis.
Winnebago Travato 59G
Specs
- Length: 21’
- GVWR: 9,350 pounds
- Chassis: Ram ProMaster
The Winnebago Travato 59G has all the essentials in 21 feet of length, plus some notable extras, including two seats behind the cockpit to transport or entertain guests. It’s the perfect game night setup!
The galley kitchen has a microwave, a 2-burner cooktop, a 6 cubic-foot fridge, and a stainless steel sink. I love the flip-top counter extension. You can leave it down and out of the way when you don’t need it, but create more meal prep space instantly.
The Travato 59G also includes a sizeable pantry, providing a place to store food items or cooking items. Finally, there’s a wet bath in the campside rear corner and a 49” x 77” bed in the driver’s side rear corner. The bed flips up to provide excellent storage for kayaks, paddleboards, or fishing poles. The Travato 59G delivers 15-16 MPG due to its streamlined design and Ram ProMaster chassis.
Thor Eddie Bauer 20EB
Specs
- Length: 21’1”
- GVWR: 9,350 pounds
- Chassis: Ram ProMaster
Slightly bigger than the Eddie Bauer 19EB, the 20EB Class B camper has a spacious interior. While both sleep only two, the Eddie Bauer 20EB features a versatile lounge space with an expandable sleeper sofa. You could sleep in two twin beds or combine them for a large king.
The wet bath is in the rear of the van, opening up most of the camper to liveable space. This area also includes a wardrobe and drawers for clothes storage. The kitchen has a 12V fridge, cooktop, microwave, and stainless steel sink. Behind the passenger seat is another countertop for a workstation or eating area. You’ll appreciate the spaciousness of this Class B RV compared to some of the others, especially if you’re meeting up with friends.
Another of my favorite features of this Eddie Bauer is the windows on both sides that open, allowing a pleasant and energy-saving cross breeze on warmer nights. Like the 19EB, the 20EB is expected to achieve between 14 and 18 MPG with the Mercedes-Benz chassis.
Thor Scope 18M
Specs
- Length: 17’11”
- GVWR: 8,550 pounds
- Chassis: Ram ProMaster
One of the most compact Class B RVs for couples is the Thor Scope 18M. It’s less than 18 feet long but still has a wet bath, a kitchen with basic appliances, and good storage solutions. Like the Eddie Bauer 20EB, this van has a wet bath in the rear, which provides more liveable space in the main area of the camper. There’s a huge floor-to-ceiling closet in the wet bath for plenty of storage.
In the kitchen and living area, there’s another floor-to-ceiling closet and overhead storage compartments. The long sofa has cup holders for lounging, but it also doubles as a bed, which pulls out to form a 72” x 47” sleeping space. There’s a removable table for dining, playing cards, or working.
Finally, the kitchen has a microwave, cooktop, sink, and 12V fridge. Even though it’s compact, I love the layout of the Scope 18M. A couple will enjoy the easy maneuverability of a Class B RV but also the basic comforts of home. Comparable models on the Ram ProMaster chassis report an average fuel economy of 15-18 MPG.
Thor Sanctuary 19P
Specs
- Length: 19’8”
- GVWR: 9,050 pounds
- Chassis: Mercedes-Benz
Thor’s Sanctuary 19P features a completely different layout from the previous models. It has a couch that stretches across the entire back wall. Opposing chairs and a removable table create an excellent rear lounge. The couch folds out to form a huge 73” x 70” sleeping area.
The wet bath is on the driver’s side across from the kitchen in this camper van. The kitchen has all the basic appliances that the other models have. However, while the front chairs swivel around, I question this functionality because there is no table for eating or working at the front of the RV. Like other Mercedes-Benz chassis models, expect between 14-18 MPG on the Sanctuary 19P.
Thor Sequence 20A
Specs
- Length: 21’1”
- GVWR: 9.350 pounds
- Chassis: Ram ProMaster
The Thor Sequence 20A features opposing rear sofas for a comfortable place to lounge and sleep, an ideal feature in a Class B RV for couples. Keep them as smaller twins or create a large 72” x 66” sleeping area. There’s also great storage underneath the beds. In addition, the rear doors open, so you can slide in a kayak, paddleboard, or other camping gear in between the two sofas for safe travel.
Like the Sanctuary 19P, the wet bath is across from the kitchen. However, this camper van has a bench seat and a removable table upfront because of the added length. I like this layout because the swivel chairs can turn around to provide additional seating for guests at the table. The fuel economy of the Sequence 20A is comparable to that of the Scope 18M, with expected averages between 15 and 18 MPG.
Winnebago Revel 44E
Specs
- Length: 19’6”
- GVWR: 9,050 pounds
- Chassis: Mercedes-Benz
If you’re looking for off-gird adventures, check out the Winnebago Revel 44E. It’s built tough with an AWD chassis, a turbo-diesel engine, an automatic overdrive transmission, tubular-style running boards, and dual off-road 10” light bars. In addition, the Winnebago Power Max system allows you to stay off-grid for up to seven days.
But you’ll love the interior just as much as the exterior! The rear L-track tie-down system keeps your gear secure during travel, and the power lift bed lowers in the rear for a cozy night’s sleep once you’re at the campsite. Even at under 20 feet, this Class B RV has a wet bath, bench seating with a removable table, and a kitchen with a stainless steel sink, a 3-cubic-foot 12V fridge, and a cooktop. Owner reports suggest averages between 12-15 MPG for this 4×4 model.
Winnebago Solis Pocket 36A
Specs
- Length: 17’10”
- GVWR: 8,550 pounds
- Chassis: Ram ProMaster
At just under 18 feet, the Solis Pocket 36A is the smallest model on our list, perfect for those who want to travel as nimbly as possible. Most notably, it doesn’t have a bathroom. Instead, Winnebago created more liveable space, and this model features an actual dinette with storage along the wall and cup holders for travel. In addition, this camper van can sleep an extra person because the dinette converts to a twin bed.
L-track tie-downs help you secure your gear, and once you’re set up at the campsite, the rear becomes a bedroom with a 52” x 75” Murphy bed. The kitchen has a 2-burner cooktop, sink, and 3-cubic-foot fridge/freezer. There’s also storage under the dinette for a portable toilet. If you’re looking for a compact Class B RV for a couple, this Solis Pocket 36A has one of the more unique layouts. The Pocket 36A is expected to perform similarly to other Ram ProMaster models, averaging 15-18 MPG.
Honorable Mentions
How Many People Can Ride in a Class B RV?
While all but one of the Class B RVs on this list sleep only two people, four can usually safely ride in a camper van. The models with bench seating behind the driver’s seat have seatbelts. So, if you need to drive to a trailhead or grocery store, your friends can hop in and carpool (or vanpool).
Do Class B RVs Hold Their Value?
Towable RVs tend to lose their value quicker than motorhomes. Among the different classes of drivable RVs, Class B camper vans tend to hold their value longer because they feature modern amenities and high-tech innovations. If you want to sell or trade in your RV, learn more about RV values to find out what your RV is worth.
Class B RVs aren’t for everyone. They’re compact, have fewer amenities, and aren’t ideal for entertaining. But if you’re a couple longing more for adventures and experiences and less for luxury and the comforts of home, then a Class B RV might be an excellent choice for you.
