I cannot stress enough how absurdly expensive it is to keep an RV moving on the road. They are built in by far the least weight efficient manner imaginable and consume gas or diesel as if prices hadn’t changed since 1986. It is wild how little manufacturers have spent on R&D to come up with more weight efficient solutions.
Aren’t all van based RVs considered Class B? I thought that was the definition. And wouldn’t they be lighter and get better fuel economy versus the Class C’s that are based on a van chassis?
The definition is that class C is constructed on a cutaway chassis, constructing new "RV walls" at the RV factory, and class B uses the original "vehicle walls".
A class B will get generally better fuel economy than a class C, because it's more aerodynamic, narrower and not as tall. Of course, a class B will have less interior room.
tiny houses are not typically expected to move around often. the wheels are generally a formality to get round certain zoning rules. that you can move them is a side benefit.
