Motorhomes
Motorhomes are drivable RVs, meaning you’ll drive your model as you drive your car. These are available as:
Class A RVs
Class A RVs are the most luxurious and spacious campers on the market and are ideal for traveling long distances. They feature a large, comfortable living room and bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, a bathroom, and state-of-the-art entertainment facilities. The large size of these vehicles resembles a tour bus, and it’s no surprise they are often the first choice of large groups and seasoned travelers.
Class B RVs
Class B RVs or camper vans are perfect for couples and xsall families. These recreational vehicles are easier to drive, park, and maneuver around tight spaces, and they are more fuel-efficient.
Class C RVs
Class C RVs are built on a bare van chassis, with a cab-over bunk bed that extends over the driver’s compartment. This unique design helps create extra sleeping space for a guest or two. These RVs are smaller than Class A campers but larger than Class B models.
Towable Campers
Towable RVs don’t feature a drivetrain and need a towing vehicle to haul them from one location to another. These campers are:
Travel Trailers
Travel trailers feature a bumper pull hitch that allows you to haul them by various towing vehicles, including pickup trucks, cars, and SUVs. These RVs offer a home-like experience, and they are usually very convenient to use. Depending on your budget and traveling requirements, you can get a compact travel trailer or a large luxurious model, so keep your options open.
Fifth Wheel RVs
Fifth wheels feature a gooseneck-style hitch instead of a bumper pull attachment. This unique design requires that you mount your model onto the bed of pickup trucks of sufficient size and weight handling capacity. Fifth wheels are larger and more stable and reliable than other types of towable RVs and often the first choice of families and large groups searching for a comfortable and luxurious traveling option.
