1. 2019 Thor Motor Coach Palazzo 33.3 Motor Home Class A – Diesel
Thor Motor Coaches are pretty popular RVs for a reason. They offer the best features at the best gas mileage. Weighing in at 30,000 lbs, the Palazzo 33.3 still gets up to 12.9 miles to the gallon! And for those of you who know how much it costs to fill up an RV’s gas tank, you know what a blessing that number is.
Besides the fuel economy, this Class A motorhome has a lot going for it. This model has a 40 inch TV in the living area, can sleep nine people, and has two slide outs and one awning. Talks about traveling in luxury. There are six floor plans to chose from too.
There are three bunk beds and a private room, as well as five TVs. There are B
For full-time RV living, especially with a family, this model is great. It sleeps a lot of people, has room in the kitchen for family meals, and even has a private bedroom for Mom and Dad. With the great fuel economy and top of the line GPS, you’ll be sure to get where you’re going without a hitch.

2. 2019 Forest River Berkshire 38A 360HP Motor Home Class A – Diesel
The Forest River Berkshire 38A is a bit smaller than the Thor Motor Coach Palazzo, but it is still a big contender.
One of the biggest things going for this model is the fact that there is a bathroom with a shower and a toilet, and then a second bathroom with just a toilet. Traveling with a family means that there is always somebody in the bathroom when you need to go, so having two bathrooms makes this Class A motorhome a great choice if you want to travel full time.
There are bunk beds with personal TVs, under carriage storage as well as overhead cabinets, and an optional fireplace. If you are going to be traveling full time in an RV, this one is a great choice because it provides everything a house does, including cooking and washing capabilities.

3. 2019 Newmar Dutch Star 4312 Motor Home Class A – Diesel
The Newmar Dutch Star 4312 is built with full time RV families in mind. There is a bunk house next to a full bath (shower included) and then a private master suite next to a half bath. So a private bedroom and a private bathroom for the parents is a huge selling point.

When it comes to cooking full time in your RV for your family, the Newmar Dutch Star 4312 has got you covered there too. There is a full refrigerator, a large sink, three stove top burners, and extendable dinette, and a large pantry. Just add the food and the family, and you’re off!

The Holiday Rambler Navigator 38F is a smaller family RV if you are considering bumming if full time. It only sleeps four, but with the four pull out slides, you will have plenty of space for each of you to sleep, eat, lounge, and, and play.
The Holiday Rambler Navigator thought of the little things you probably didn’t even think of in order to make your life full time in your RV as smooth as possible.
They included an air suspension dump switch (so much better, trust me) as well as adjustable shelving (for all of us short people), pass through storage, two sinks (so helpful when cleaning up from dinner) and a bathroom with two entrances (one outside and one inside). To add to the comfort, there’s an electric fireplace too.
Your little family of four will love living in the RV full time. There’s a private master bedroom for when the kids get too rowdy along with a TV for the lounge.
The included washer and drier combo are stackable to save space. All the comfort you could ask for while traveling on the road.
This RV will cost you around $205,000. If you’re interested in buying it, click here.

5. 2019 Newmar Ventana 3407 Motor Home Class A – Diesel
Here is another Newmar Class A motorhome for the list. The Newmar Ventana 3407 is heavier than most RVs that you’ll find out there, but for good reason. With three slide outs and a length of almost 35 feet long, there is room for a king-sized bed in the master bedroom.
Technically, you can only sleep four people in this RV, but with so much space, there is room for additional sleeping accommodations.
The cabinets in this RV look extremely elegant (they’re maple wood), as well as the floors (durable, easy to clean, porcelain tiles), and there is so much light, you’ll feel you were in a luxury mansion instead of an RV (there’s even a skylight above the shower!).
You have 18 different floor plans to chose from, giving you all the power to determine how you are going to start living your full-time RV lifestyle.

6. 2019 Tiffin Allegro Bus 45 OPP Motor Home Class A – Diesel

There are two pantries, a full-sized refrigerator, two sinks, a full bathroom and a half bathroom, and a whole area just for working (a computer, a desk, and a chair). The windshield is one, big, tinted piece, and it even comes with a large, central vacuum cleaner.

Not only does the Entegra Coach Aspire 38 M give you more space, but it also makes life easier for you too. This model comes with equalizer hydraulic automatic leveling so parking is a cinch. It gives you double of everything: two TVs, two sinks, two ottomans, and a two-year warranty.

8. 2019 Fleetwood RV Discovery 38F Motor Home Class A – Diesel
The Fleetwood RV Discovery 38F combines safety with fun. They come included with a Safe-T-view camera system to help you back up easier, and we all know how hard it is to back up an RV, so this really is a blessing.
This RV is less for families and more for couples, though it can sleep up to

Hi, My name is Dale Trier and I have been enjoying this group for a long time. I am afraid these are way out of my price range. I am in the market for another class A to replace the one I sold to help pay for my battle with cancer. I was recently discharged from the Mayo Clinic after battling cancer since December of 2015. I am now officially a “CANCER SURVIVOR”. Very expensive = total almost 2Million dollars so far. Anyway, my last motorhome was a 37′ Tropical w/2/slides & tag axle. Loved it. Sadly, it’s just me now as I lost my wife last November. I would like to see some information on much lower priced class A’s. $20,000 plus or minus = is my current price range. TIA Dale
