Top RVs For A Family of 5
Thor Quantum
Featuring a V10 engine, this powerful Class C recreational vehicle is a spacious motorhome that is designed to take you and your family wherever you want. No more avoiding certain routes because your vehicle does not have the power to conquer the hills in those routes.
Up to six people can sleep comfortably in this vehicle at night. Its main sleeping zone is a bedroom. The bedroom has sliding doors for privacy and a big bed for two people. In addition to this bedroom, another main sleeping zone is a cab-over bunk. This sleeping zone can also accommodate two people.
Other people can sleep in this RV’s sofa, which can be converted into an extra bed.
One of the most amazing things about this Thor RV is that it has a powerful 30,000 BTU furnace. This furnace has the capacity to keep the whole RV warm and cozy even when the temperatures outside the vehicle are getting lower and lower.
In addition to the above information, this big RV comes with a bathroom featuring a toilet and a shower. It also has two TVs – one is located in the living area and one is located in the bedroom.
The kitchen in this Thor vehicle deserves a special mention. It has a pantry, a big refrigerator, a microwave, an oven, and a burner stove.
The Airstream Classic
Airstream is a big brand. The company has been making retro-style campers for ages. This particular camper is also retro-style and it is one of the best RVs that money can buy.
There are several Airstream Classic floor plans on the market. This particular one measures 31 feet long and it is big enough not to feel crowded even when occupied by five or six people.

What stands out about it when you get in is its kitchen. The kitchen has an innovative design that provides plenty of cooking space. It is also well-equipped with all the features you would expect in a big RV kitchen.
The 70-gallon freshwater tank inside this motorhome also stands out. Many RVs have much smaller freshwater tanks. The size of the water tank in this one means everyone can take a shower without worrying about running out of water.
A 30,000 BTU furnace is strategically located in the middle of this RV. To me, it is the thing that makes this vehicle to feel like home especially in the evening. RVs generally become chilly at night so a powerful furnace with an output of 30,000 BTU will definitely make any RV feel more warm, comfortable, and homely in the evening.
