I've been looking at motorhomes and noticing that the smaller class b's are just as or more expensive than the bigger class A. Is it a production thing or what? The A seems like a lot more for your buck.
Class B will never give you as much square footage for the dollar spent as, well, anything else.
Most noob RV buyers want the most space for the dollar and most manufacturers cater to that.
Class B rigs, though once a reasonable entry level RV, are in today's market a niche product, mainly serving customers who travel alone or as a couple and who value mobility over space. Many buyers use their B vans as an ideal form of transport for long trips rather than primarily as a means of accommodation at their destination.
On the cheapest RVs you pay a few dollars more for extra space.
On somewhat nicer RVs you pay a few dollars more for bolt-on doodads: motorized steps, vents with rain sensors, automatic awnings, bigger fridges, outdoor TVs, generators, inverters, etc.
Take it up a level and you start paying for chassis and mechanical upgrades.
Add another few thousand bucks and you can start getting more windows and a higher quality interior build.
