Class B RVs are the smallest class of drivable RVs that you can own. However, some of them can extend to lengths that make them less nimble than one might desire. If you are looking for a smaller Class B motorhome, it’s good to stay under 20 feet in total exterior length. Many would consider this length to be perfect for staying small enough to make traveling easy while providing plenty of living space.
In this article, we’ll look at 11 great options of Class B RVs that come in below 20 feet in total length. These include the following:
| Manufacturer | Model | Total Length |

2. Thor RIZE

The RIZE is a very small Class B motorhome that is built on the RAM Promaster chassis. At just under 18 feet in total length, you’ll have no problems maneuvering this RV around. You won’t have to worry about parking or feel intimidated when driving it. However, just because it is one of the shortest RVs on this list, doesn’t mean the living space is cramped. It is actually well designed and has a living space that won’t leave you feeling cramped.
This motorhome features a super comfy lounge/dining area and also includes two front swivel seats. The lounge area converts to a bed and is plenty roomy enough for two people. A van this size needs some creativity for it to work out and they have done a great job at setting this interior up for an enjoyable living experience.

Like most Class B motorhomes, you’ll find all the essentials included for a comfortable stay while on the road. Perhaps the most unique feature of this RV is the indoor shower. This creative design allows you to store the shower away when not in use and then turn it into a full-sized shower when ready. You can take a shower with you wherever you go and it won’t take up any room in your living space.

It uses the same chassis that I used for my van build and this is a great size if you want to remain nimble and fit easily into parking spots.

This RV is set up almost identical to the ascent TS but it is built on the Ford Transit chassis rather than the Mercedes Sprinter. It uses gasoline rather than diesel and comes in at a lower MSRP of $136,305.
This RV has a huge amount of headroom at 78 inches tall. This is plenty of room for those who are taller than average. It can accommodate someone comfortably that is 6 feet 5 inches. Similar to the Ascent TS, the Ontour 2.0 also has an electric sofa that converts to a queen-size bed.
It also features a wet bath, swivel seats, and all of the other essentials that you would expect in a capable class B RV. It also features rear and side screen doors to keep all of those pesky bugs out which is a great additional feature to have. I know that having the bug screen on my van has been one of my favorite upgrades. It has made the experience much more pleasurable out on the road.
11. Thor Sanctuary
Total Length: 19′ 8″
The Thor Sanctuary is a capable 4×4 RV that has a small footprint. It is built on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis and is designed to take you off the road. There are two floor plans to choose from with the 19L having a fixed bed and the 19P having a convertible bed/lounge area.

Conclusion
Finding a class B RV below 20 feet in total length is quite easy. With more and more people choosing to downsize and make do with smaller spaces, manufacturers are taking hold of the trend. There are plenty of them on the market if you are willing to pay the hefty price that they often demand. Of course, you can usually buy these motorhomes for less than the MSRP.
While these class B motorhomes demand a premium price, they come with so many benefits. The small size may take some getting used to but being so flexible in your travel is the main benefit. With less than 20 feet of total length, you will simply blend in with other vehicles rather than requiring additional space and driving consideration like you would a much larger RV. This benefit alone is why I like class B RVs over other types.
While other types of motorhomes will give you more space, staying under 20 feet will make it seem as though you are in a standard vehicle and make it so much easier when deciding where to go, which roads to take, and places to park for the night.
