Motorhomes usually have sleeping spaces for two to eight people. Each sleeping space is either fixed or converted from another part of the motorhome's interior, usually a fold-out sofa. A kitchenette area contains cooking equipment. The type of equipment included differs depending on the motorhome make and model, but generally a kitchenette has a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, and sink. More luxury models may also provide a [[microwave]]. A small [[bathroom]] with a shower, sink, and [[toilet]] is usually also located in the motorhome. On smaller motorhomes, the toilet may be of the "cassette toilet" type, which is a kind of [[portable toilet]] or [[Container-based sanitation|container-based toilet]]. The toilet sometimes swivels to provide extra room and can be accessed from outside the motorhome for easy emptying.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.motorhomegroup.com/hire/glossary.asp#C | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110305044108/http://www.motorhomegroup.com/hire/glossary.asp#C | url-status = dead | archive-date = 2011-03-05 | title = Motorhome Glossary | work = Motorhome Group }}</ref> Larger motorhomes usually have a separate shower cubicle.

A motorhome also has a cab area with a driver and passenger seat. These seats often swivel to become part of the living space. A dinette area provides a table and seating space typically used for eating meals. A lounge may also be included, consisting of either a U-shaped sofa located in the rear of the motorhome or a side lounge.
