Finding the right RV for your lifestyle doesn’t have to be difficult when you understand the different RV types. Below, we will briefly show you each RV type and outline the basic features so you can find the best RV for your family.
Towables
The first type of RV, we’ll talk about our totals. These are any RVs that are pulled behind your vehicle and do not feature an engine of their own.
Travel Trailers
Travel trailers are the most popular RV type because they come in a large variety of shapes and sizes. Travel trailers are towed behind a vehicle via a standard hitch and are generally more compact and easy to tow, then fifth wheels or destination trailers.
Fifth Wheels
Fifth wheels are another popular type of RV, that offer more residential style floor plans with luxury amenities. Fifth wheels also connect to the towing vehicle differently via a fifth wheel hitch instead of a standard hitch. This wheels are perfect for large groups or extended stays and are a popular option for full-time RVers.
Pop-Up Campers/Expandables
Next, we will take a look at pop-up campers and expandables. These are perfect for anyone who loves tent camping, but needs an upgrade. Pop-up campers and expendables feature compact designs that are easy to tow behind most vehicles and expand using bed tents or other expanding sections of the RV to provide additional interior space.
Motorized
The next class of RV we will look at are the motorized RVs, also called motorhomes. These RVs feature built in engines and cabs to make them drivable without the need of a towing vehicle.
Class A
The class A motorhome is one of the most well-known types of RVs because of its distinct design. These RVs are renowned for offering luxury features and a high class experience. Class A motorhomes are another popular option for extended stays or full-time RV living.
Class B
Class B motorhomes are also called camper vans and are great for individuals or couples who love to take long road trips, but want to save on lodging expenses. They’re also good for backpackers and anyone who loves to camp off the grid.
Class C
Lastly, will take a look at the class C motorhomes, which are another style of camper van. These types of RVs are known for offering plenty of interior, space and sleeping for a whole family, in addition to more maneuverability having a class A motorhome.
Other RVs
Below, we will take a look at some additional RV types that are less popular, but may be the perfect option for your family.
Destination/Park Trailers
Destination trailers or park trailers are a more permanent RV type. You have a specific destination you want to visit easily whenever you have time off, a destination trailer is the right choice. These RVs are built with residential features and are not intended to be moved as frequently as other RVs, so they’re perfect for snowbirds and extended stays.
Toy Haulers
Toy haulers come in a variety of styles, but they share one significant thing in common: a spacious garage. Toy haulers are built to make it easy to bring along your outdoor equipment like kayaks, bikes, ATVs, and more and feature large storage areas with power ramp doors and tie-downs to ensure safe travel.
Truck Campers
Lastly, truck campers are a convenient way to travel and stay without needing a hotel or resort because the camper fits into the bed of your truck. These compact RVs are perfect for couples who travel frequently and just need a bed, a small kitchen, and basic comforts to enjoy their road trips.
