How wide is a Class A RV?

Favorite Answer

By law, it can only be up to 8-feet wide. so plan on that, if that fits where you need to store it, then a slightly smaller one will also. Good Luck!...Show more

RE:
How wide is a Class A RV?
We're looking at a few used motor homes and doing a little bit of space planning concerning where to store it. Anyone know how wide a Class A RV is?

In case it helps - We're looking at a 1991 Fleetwood Bounder 28 and similar models/years. Can't find any info on sales sites anywhere....Show more

I agree on the 8ft. Figure, but..... it also depends on if and what type of slide outs are installed.
Some slide outs are 18 inches deep, others are 36 deep.

Option 1:
So add the 8 ft, and if there are two 18 inch slide outs (one on each side) you need to add 3 more feet if you plan on having it opened while parked. So you are now looking at an 11 ft wide area.

Option 2:
Add the 8 ft, and if there are two 36 inch slide outs (one on each side) you now need to add 6 ft, for a total of 14 wide.

Option 3: Add 8 feet and what ever the slide out dimensions for the depth are.

Happy Camping and traveling.

Ps: My trailer opens up to 14 ft wide....Show more

You have asked over a half dozen questions here, I try to answer a few of them. My wife & I have been living in a small Class A, 35' diesel pusher since April 15Th of '03. We circumnavigated the U.S. in '03 after we had sold our house. We had a problem with our old coach and replaced in at a Good Sam rally in Orlando, FL in November of '03. We traveled to Alaska, last year, and spent 5 months there. We didn't see everything and are planning on returning neat year. Since we winter in Brooksville, FL at the South East Area of the Family Motor Coach Associations grounds on the Hernando County Airport. I am their electrician for the large rally they put on in February and take care of their grounds when the rally is not in progress. We joined Thousand Trails, a membership campground, to save on camping costs. We can stay in any Thousand Trails preserve for two weeks, then we have to leave for a week, then we are allowed to return for another two weeks. This cost us a fair amount and $500 yearly dues. That's 34 weeks of camping for $500, not counting our initial investment. We also belong to another discount camping club that allows us to stay at quite a few campgrounds for 1/2 price. We found a campground in Palmer, Alaska that we could stay at for $11 per night. That is very cheap for Alaska. Food should cost no more than you pay at your home. Since you won't have the storage we have, you won't want to carry that much, a week or twos supplies should be enough. There's always a WalMart down the road. We haven't splurged on a satellite system, yet. You will need a clear view of the sky to the South for that. I prefer to park under trees to save on the A/C's running all the time as it would in the wide open areas. People who do have them will use the roof mount and carry a spare portable dish for those had to see satellites. We have never had a rat problem. Many campers will put steel wool around their electrical cables and water hoses, where they enter the coach for that problem. We purchased a cell phone from our home town, Orlando, so relatives may call us without paying a long distance charge. That's pretty good, while we were in Alaska, people in Orlando could call us as a local call. We got a box in the local UPS store for our mail. This gives us an address for insurance, auto tags, banking, voter registration and any thing else that might come up. We are both on Medicare and picked a HMO and that has worked for us. We have been lucky that we haven't gotten sick while on the road. By belonging to FMCA, see above, we will be sent by airplane to Brooksville for medical care if we are very sick. This is free with your membership. If you need more information, e-mail me and I'll try to provide it. Read my blog on Yahoo 360 for some of our experiances on the road. Good luck Additional details: We have spent the night in several WalMarts all across the U.S. without any problem. We just go inside and check if it's OK to spend the night. We have stayed in a truck stop out of Tupelo, Mississippi and the local Chief of Police knocked on our door to tell us he would keep an eye out for us. He ran some kids off that were hanging around. On our trip to Alaska last year we stayed in quite a few Rest Areas & Pull-outs with no problem. We never camped in any of these places. We spent the night, didn't put down our leveling jacks or put out the awning. We never stayed more than one night in any "Free" parking area. If we ever felt uncomfortable, we just moved, that was only twice going to Alaska. I do know people that carry guns. Many others carry baseball bats. Just don't put yourself in a position where you can't leave in a hurry. We never had to except when a bear came snooping around. Then just turning on the lights and starting the engine scared him off....Show more

if you store camper... you don't have it open... if you drive it down the road .. you don't have it open.... so 8 feet wide is it...Show more
