FAQ’s

There are many shapes and sizes of motorhomes. How do I know a Class B is the best fit for me?

The Class B motorhome is the most convenient size for traveling. From city driving to off-road travel, Class B motorhomes are easy to maneuver as they mirror the lengths and widths of a large SUV or pickup truck. Their smaller size opens up more options for overnight stays as they can be parked virtually anywhere and not be recognized as an RV. To us, Class B motorhomes are the most convenient for travel and the most comfortable for eating and sleeping. When it comes to gas mileage, Class B can be multiples of the larger motorhomes. Class A and Class C motorhomes are larger with more floor space, but this additional floor space makes them far more difficult to park – often requiring the need to tow a vehicle for local travel. When it comes to the number of passengers, Class B motorhomes can comfortably accommodate two people while Class A and C motorhomes are typically designed to house more travelers.

Why ARV?

If you want a completely custom, hand-crafted Class B motorhome, ARV will accommodate your needs. Each client creates every aspect of their design to match their travel needs. If you can find a factory-built Class B motorhome that meets your design needs and quality standards, we suggest you follow that path.

 

How much does it cost? How long does it take to build?

Advanced RV motorhomes will typically cost about two times the cost of a factory-built model. If you don’t need the quality, capabilities, and customization of an ARV, we suggest higher volume produced manufacturers of Class B motor homes like Roadtrek, Winnebago, Airstream, and Pleasure-Way.

ARV has an approximate 6-month backlog in production. From initial deposit to delivery day, you can expect your custom-build motorhome in 6-8 months. Our Pre-Owned catalog is immediately available. 

Are there any dealers that sell ARV motorhomes?

We don’t use dealers. We design our motorhomes with each client and we manage every detail of their ARV service. Based on our close client contact and total customization, there isn’t much value a dealer can offer our clients. We do not do paid advertising or attend shows.

How will I design my ARV?

To begin the custom-build process, clients visit our facility and engage in a fun and in-depth conversation of sharing the details of their motorhome vision. Our designers and engineers facilitate the process supported by the many build examples on our production floor. Whether you arrive with mock-ups and floorplans or only knowing your van name, ARV works with you to make your vision and objectives attainable and achievable. 

How customized can I make my ARV?

The only limits are “Does it fit?” and “Is it legal?”. Custom means custom.

There is no menu of items for you to choose from when designing your custom motorhome. Our designers have created an outline that guides the design process, but every client design conversation is as unique as their resulting motorhome. The only limitations on the design are “Will it fit into the chassis (weight and volume)?” and “Is it legal by MB upfit and DOT standards?”.

I’ve decided I’m interested, what should my next step be?

We enjoy our email and phone conversations with potential clients. Ask as many questions as possible. We encourage you to visit and tour our Cleveland, OH facility and share your vision in person. If you have decided to work with Advanced RV, please ask for deposit information. Your initial deposit will enable us to order your custom chassis (with your input) and solidify your place in the production queue.

What kind of support and service can I expect when I drive away?

While our entire staff is reachable during office hours (M-F 8 am-5 pm), we also have an emergency service phone answered 24/7 by one of our technical staff members. We do everything we can to answer your service questions, troubleshoot your issue, and find the nearest, best resource to do your repair if a repair is warranted. Our primary mission is to get you back on the road as quickly as possible.

What should I name my van?

The name of your van is only limited by your imagination. Some examples of past names: NUANNAARPOQ, WAHROONGA, Glamazon, Van Gogh, Nut Nut, VanVoyage, Pebbles, and Bam Bam.
