About Contributor

Josh has lived and breathed RVing since 2016. Launching out in a vintage Airstream, he spent 4 years trekking ’round the country in search of the greatest spaces and places in the U.S. He’s since settled a bit and has spent the past few years running a glampground in NW Montana (right by Glacier National Park). His Montana property features 5 vintage Airstreams, cabins, a tiny home, and more for guests to experience upscale outdoor accommodations. In his spare time, you might find him on Flathead Lake, troubleshooting an Airstream upgrade, or basking in other beauties of Montana.

Few things offer the freedom and flexibility of a motorhome when it comes to hitting the open road. Small Class A motorhomes provide the perfect blend of luxury and convenience for those who crave the comforts of home without sacrificing maneuverability.

These compact yet spacious RVs are designed to offer all the amenities of larger campers while being more accessible for new owners learning how to drive and park an RV. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or an extended road trip, this roundup of the best small Class A motorhomes showcases the cream of the crop. 

What Is The Average Length of A Class A Motorhome?

On average, Class A motorhomes range from 29 to 45 feet long. The longest models in that range are wonderfully spacious but more challenging to maneuver. So, we’ve narrowed this list to some of the best small Class A RV options under 32 feet, giving you plenty of high-end living amenities in more compact packages.
