Most Popular Class A Gas Motorhomes
What are some of the most popular Class A gas motorhomes out there? What makes a Class A rig stand above the rest with customers? Today we’re looking at the Class A RVs that have gotten the most attention here on RVTrader.
Fleetwood Bounder
Fleetwood’s Bounder line continues to be popular and not just because older models had a starring role in Breaking Bad. The company continues to work on the model with today’s editions having full-body paint (as opposed to decals on many RVs) and premium features such as MCD day and night shades.
The company touts the quality and durability of its vacuum-bonded walls and ceiling. For 2026, they have introduced the Adap-table that can be a four-place dinette or also a desk on certain models.
Length: 34–39 feet
Price: Starting at $246,487
Forest River Georgetown
I was recently at an RV rally and met several Forest River Georgetown owners who were quite enthusiastic about their choice of RV. Forest River Georgetown is a line of gas-powered Class A motorhomes offered in three series: GT3 (3 Series), GT5 (5 Series), and GT7 (7 Series). Each model is tailored to different lifestyles and levels of luxury.
Length: 30–40 feet
Price: Under $200,000
Thor A.C.E.
You’ll see a lot of Thor’s A.C.E. models in campgrounds all over. There’s a reason, but the reason for the name is that Thor wanted to create a motorhome with the best features of Class A and Class C Entries – A.C.E. In that respect, the A.C.E. is an ace in the hole, casting about the same size shadow as some Class C RVs but offering the driving environment and look of a more traditional Class A.
True to the intent of these rigs, the A.C.E.’s smaller overall footprint means a slightly more maneuverable rig, which is part of their popularity. These are also relatively affordable, which is another reason they’re popular.
Length: 31–34 feet
Price: Under $200,000
Winnebago Adventurer & Winnebago Forza
For a long time, Winnebago been popular with motorhome buyers, whether that be an affordable Class A with a gas engine to more premium diesel models, but the company is also popular with Class B and C buyers as well.
The Winnebago Adventurer line is 35–36 feet in length and ranges from $252,851 to $257,575. There are models with one or two baths and layouts that can sleep up to eight.
For those who want something a little more fancy, the Winnebago Forza offers similar engineering with a more premium interior and appointments. Forza prices range from $361,072 to $375,211.
Length: 35–40 feet
Price: $252,851–$375,211
Should You Choose Gas or Diesel for Your Class A?
In many ways, the popular market for Class s is divided down the middle between the two fuel options, with some preferring the lower cost of a gas coach and others liking the power of diesel.
Because neither GM nor Stellantis/Chrysler build chassis for Class A motorhomes anymore, a new gas-powered coach will almost always feature Ford’s F53 platform, which sports that company’s “Godzilla” V8 mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine and transmission on these chassis are up front between the front seats in a “doghouse” compartment.
Meanwhile, nearly every diesel Class A motorhome built today features a large commercial diesel engine in the rear. That’s where you get the term “diesel pusher” – the engine at the back sort of pushes the rig along.
One benefit of diesel rigs having the engine at the rear vs the front is that all the noise, vibration, and heat generated is far away from the driver and co-pilot. Furthermore, diesel engines tend to have tremendous torque, or twisting force, so they can create a peppy-feeling rig despite their larger size.
On the other hand, diesel pushers are more expensive owing to the commercial nature of the engines, and some routine maintenance items are more costly. In short, a diesel rig is simply a bigger commitment all around.
Spacious layouts and ample amenities are guaranteed in a Class A motorhome, so the choice comes down to your tastes and needs. Not sure where to start? Start with the fundamentals and find out what to look for in a Class A RV, or find inspiration in the absolute top-of-the-line Class A models.
