What does Class C stand for?
What does Class C stand for? A Class C commercial driver 's license (CDL) is the most common type of license and allows drivers to operate vehicles designed to transport fewer than 24 passengers including themselves. This includes single vehicles fewer than 26,001 pounds or towing a trailer with a GVWR fewer than 20,001 pounds.
Why buy a Class C?
Firstly, it allows for greater maneuverability, making it easier to navigate through tight spaces and winding roads. Additionally, the smaller size of Class C motorhomes enables them to fit into a wider range of parks and campsites. They also tend to have better gas mileage compared to Class A motorhomes.
What is a Class A?
Different Types of Commercial Driver's Licenses Getting a Class A CDL entitles you to operate a combination of vehicles — such as a semi-tractor and trailer — with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. It also entitles you to haul a trailer that weighs 10,000 pounds or more.
Is class A better than C?
Unless you are looking at a 26 foot Class A, your best option, if you want to reduce driving complexity is a Class C. While the Class A excels in terms of space, Class Cs win when it comes to flexibility and drivability. You will be more nimble, and find more camping options in a Class C than a Class A.
