Choosing a Class C motorhome is all about matching how you travel with how you live. Cab-over designs add flexible sleeping or storage, while shorter lengths and familiar truck or van chassis keep driving approachable. Here are some standouts to explore this year from various manufacturers, each taking a different angle on comfort, capability, and everyday usability.
Newmar Grand Star
Grand Star brings Newmar’s luxury touch to a cab-over, truck-chassis platform, pairing a Freightliner S2RV with 360 horsepower and three floorplans that stretch roughly 34 to 39 feet. The spec sheet leans residential—think cab-over bunk with skylight, optional heated tile underfoot, and a contemporary lounge—while the cockpit layers in a 10-inch Apple CarPlay® dash radio and electronic stability control to cut fatigue on long days. Families will appreciate the available mid-coach bunks and exterior entertainment, and shoppers can dial the look with multiple décor packages and an available Onyx exterior. (Newmar Corporation)
Forest River Forester
Forester is about breadth: LE models on Ford or Chevy emphasize value, the standard Forester rides Ford with upscale touches, MBS variants move to Mercedes-Benz diesel efficiency, and compact TS/PM versions leverage Transit or ProMaster for maneuverability. Across the line you’ll see split-level layouts that open headroom, true pass-through storage on many floorplans, ride upgrades like EZRYDE suspension, and full-body paint options—letting you choose everything from a family bunk setup to a trimmer couples coach without leaving the Forester family.

Winnebago Minnie Winnie
Minnie Winnie is the archetypal family Class C: approachable to drive, sized for national parks and supermarket parking lots alike, and offered in a range of floorplans that prioritize straightforward living—cab-over sleeping, convertible lounges, and practical galley/bath arrangements. Winnebago positions it as a do-everything gas coach with the brand’s service network, intuitive controls, and the kind of storage and seating that make weekend trips and long loops equally easy to plan.

Tiffin Allegro Bay (Diesel, Super C)
If you want Class A-like stamina in a cab-over package, Allegro Bay is Tiffin’s answer: a 360-hp Cummins B6.7 with an Allison 3000 on the Freightliner S2RV, up to roughly 39 feet, and floorplans that sleep three to seven with one to one-and-a-half baths. An 8-kW diesel generator, 12,000-pound towing capacity, and generous pass-through storage (about 114–136 cu ft) speak to long-range intent, while paint and décor programs bring the premium finish Tiffin’s known for.

Tiffin Wayfarer (Diesel, Class C)
Wayfarer scales things down without skimping on polish, built on the Mercedes-Benz 3500XD dual-rear-wheel cutaway with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel and 9G-Tronic automatic. At about 25 feet 8 inches with floorplans that sleep two to four, it’s sized for tighter trailheads and old-town streets, yet still packs thoughtful storage (roughly 54–130 cu ft depending on layout), a 4-kW LP generator, and Tiffin’s curated interiors and paint options for a boutique feel on the road.
