Class C RVs offer a great balance of mobility and comfort for RVers who want the comfort of a Class A camper without the larger size and price tag. Jayco Class C RVs, in particular, have long been known for smooth driveability and interior comfort. So, anyone shopping for a Class C RV should likely have at least one Jayco camper on their shortlist of mid-range Class C RVs.
We’re exploring a few of our favorite Jayco Class C floorplans to help you find the right one for your adventures. If you don’t see what you’re looking for here, there are many more Jayco Class C RVs available in different lengths, weights, and layouts to meet your needs.
Class C Floorplans by Jayco
With over 35 unique RVs, Jayco RV offers a comprehensive lineup of floorplan options for the needs of just about any RVer. Some elements of the Class C RV are universal across almost all options. Its iconic cabover bunk, for example, will make an appearance on all of the units on our list. But we’ll explore different variations, ranging from compact models to those with bunk beds, rear bedrooms, rear baths, and more.
When exploring Class C RVs, you might look for the following features and layouts to help you decide which is best for you:
- Whether it has a slide-out, how many, and how large
- Bathroom location
- Kitchen location
- Bed size and sleeping capacity
- Overall length
- Exterior storage
Much of this comes down to personal preference. However, certain layouts are undoubtedly better for traveling solo or as a couple versus traveling with a family or a large group. Where you plan to camp also makes a difference, as the smaller Jayco options in our list are easier to park in tighter spots. Our list covers a range of different Jayco Class C floor plan options to consider in your search.
Redhawk SE 22CF
- Length: 24’8”
- GVWR: 12,500 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 5
- Chassis: Ford E-350
Favorite Floorplan Feature: Queen Bed Slide
If you’re looking for a flexible, easy-to-drive entry-level Class C that offers the basics better than most others, the Redhawk SE 22CF may be just the ticket. This super nimble Class C camper easily parks in campsites for RVs 30’ and under. It’s a great small motorhome for couples, and the single slide-out for the queen bed allows you both to walk around to your side of the bed without climbing over each other.
You can always sleep a guest in the convertible dinette or the cabover bunk with a 750-pound capacity, but the Redhawk SE 22CF holds up better as a two-person coach. If you are traveling with just two people, the storage options are great!
Melbourne 24L
- Length: 25’2”
- GVWR: 11,030 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 4
- Chassis: Mercedes-Benz
Favorite Floorplan Feature: Driver’s Side Super Slide
Take the general layout of the 22CF and lengthen the single slide-out to the wardrobe and dinette, and you’ve got a different space entirely, which is what you get with the Melbourne 24L, a sleek and modern-designed couples coach that offers the perfect amount of luxury. This is certainly a step up into the premier range of Jayco campers, as it’s amazing how much more homey this floorplan feels just by extending the length of that slide-out.
Equipped with a diesel engine, the 24L will be a bit more economical on fuel, so you can feel better about the extras that come with this elegant floorplan, including a swivel-mounted television in the cabover bunk and a massive mirrored wardrobe between the dinette and queen bed. While this is certainly a couples’ RV, the spaciousness and sleeping options make it more appropriate for traveling with a small family.
Greyhawk 27U
- Length: 29’11”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
- Chassis: Ford E-450
Favorite Floorplan Feature: Two Slides and a Rear Wardrobe
The rear mirrored wardrobe on the Greyhawk 27U provides some much-appreciated storage space for the traveling couple who wants a mid-size Class C camper with more comfortable living space and the ability to host guests. If Redhawk is the entry-level Class C and Melbourne is the more luxurious option, Greyhawk is the “Goldilocks” right in the middle.
We love the galley-style kitchen with a dual-basin sink on the L-shaped underlit counter, a countertop extension, and extra-tall pantry storage, which is significant but not in the way. The bedroom includes a mounted television and a luxurious king-sized bed that separates the 27U from other Class C floorplans.
Redhawk SE 22AF
- Length: 24’8”
- GVWR: 12,500 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 5
- Chassis: Ford E-350
Favorite Floorplan Feature: Large U-shaped Dinette
Envision an affordable, short Redhawk SE that’s more guest and family-friendly. You get that with the Redhawk SE 22AF, made possible by a versatile U-shaped dinette in a larger slide-out. You still get the nimble length of less than 25’, but that dinette is a more realistic sleeping option and great if you need to spend an afternoon or two inside.
While the bedroom area doesn’t have an independent door, the privacy curtain helps. For the size of this RV, each space feels deliberate and quaint, including the mini-bathroom sink separate from the toilet and shower, versatile wardrobe/pantry space, a large 10 cubic-foot refrigerator, and overhead storage above the bed.
Redhawk 29XK
- Length: 32’6”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 6
- Chassis: Ford F53
Favorite Floorplan Feature: Walk-Through Central Bathroom
If you’re traveling with up to six people in a Class C camper, it’s helpful to have a bathroom with a separate toilet and shower so you can get people in and out more efficiently. The Redhawk 29XK gives you that and a spacious rear bedroom so that, no matter how many people join the trip, you’ve got a space to yourself.
We are now at over 30’ with the 29XK, and the payoff comes with the large U-shaped dinette and the jackknife sofa. Combined with the cabover bunk and the swivel chairs in the cockpit, this creates an open, communal space for families who need to spend a rainy day inside.
Redhawk 31F
- Length: 32’6”
- GVWR: 14,500 pounds
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 7
- Chassis: Ford E-450
Favorite Floorplan Feature: Twin Bunks in the Super Slide
For families looking to tour the country in a Class C RV that feels small enough not to be a burden, the Redhawk 31F is the perfect mix of functionality, comfort, and size. This is the first Class C RV with bunk beds on our list. The bunks are located in the back third of the coach, close to the rear bedroom. Equipped with tablet holders and privacy curtains, these are mini-bedrooms for kids and guests.
Notably, the 31F sleeps up to seven people. Its angled countertop, large fridge, and three-burner cooktop help keep everyone fed and happy.
Seneca 37L
- Length: 39’4”
- GVWR: 31,000
- Sleeping Capacity: Up to 9
- Chassis: Freightliner® S2RV Plus
Favorite Floorplan Feature(s): Spacious Living Room and Bunk Beds
The Seneca 37L is technically classified as a Super C RV, and it’s true that this extra-large coach benefits from a diesel engine with added horsepower. With four slide-outs, a proper living room and kitchen combo, a bunk bed, a residential refrigerator, and a king-sized bed, this coach feels a bit more like a Class A than a Class C, in the best ways possible.
Smaller Class C RVs for the family are certainly a worthwhile segment to explore, but we’re excited to include this hefty option from Jayco on our list to show you what else is possible and what added luxuries you can enjoy with a larger Class C, like an optional washer/dryer combo and a power-lift king bed.
What Is the Life Expectancy of a Class C RV?
Class C RVs with diesel engines will likely last longer due to slower cylinder wear than gas engines. But a Class C RV is like any other vehicle and a range of factors will contribute to its longevity, including routine maintenance like oil and fluid changes, travel frequency, keeping it covered and protected from the elements, proper winterization, and overall upkeep.
Explore seasonal and annual RV maintenance recommendations.
What Is the Best Length for a Class C Motorhome?
To determine the best length for your RV, prioritize what you want from it. Class C RVs 30’ or less are better suited for national park campsites, which often have a 30’ limit. Meanwhile, longer Class C RVs will have more living space, higher sleeping capacity, and likely more storage. So if you are family, a longer Class C is perfect!

What Is the Quietest Class C Motorhome?
A test drive is an especially helpful tool when shopping for a Class C RV because you need to hear what noise you can expect when driving.
Consider the factors that contribute to or reduce a Class C RV’s noise on the road and at the campsite. These factors include wind noise in the cockpit, engine noise, and general road noise from items rattling inside the RV. You will likely always battle wind noise, given the aerodynamics of these cabover campers. Plus, Class C RVs with diesel engines will have a louder engine, though this can be counteracted somewhat with sound-deadening insulation, as many owners do.
