Different Types of RVs

There are two classifications of RVs, Motorized and Towed but within the two classes there are many different styles. Motorized RVs are able to move on their own, they can be driven. The RVs that must be towed usually attach to the back of a truck or van. These RVs are called trailers or campers.

One of the first RVs in the motorized group is the Class A Motor home. This type of RV is usually rectangular in shape and is very adjustable. The driver and passenger seats can swivel around and double as living room furniture when the RV is parked. The usual amenities in this type of RV are a bathroom, kitchen, dining area, living room, and bedroom. Class A RVs handle more like a car and this makes it easy for most RV drivers as they don't have to learn new skills to be able to drive it.

The Class B is the next type of RV in the Motorized style. This RV is built on a van chassis and has a raised roof. Class B RVs are small and also very easy to drive. These RVs contain a living area, bathroom, dining area and a bedroom but Class B's are usually a bit smaller than the Class A. The Class Bs mostly have less sleeping space than other small rigs or trailers.

Another RV type is the Class C Motor home. This one is the least expensive of all the motorized RVs. The Class C is a truck chassis with an RV unit built onto it. The sleeping area is over the driver area. This RV contains all the same amenities as the Class A and the Class B RV, but usually on a less grand scale. The Class C can be used to tow a boat or a motorcycle, and is able to tow a car.

The fifth wheel is the first type of RV in the towable class. This RV is a trailer that hitches to the bed of a truck. Making sure that you have a tow vehicle big enough to handle this trailer is one of the big considerations with this type of RV. If you don't do this then it can cause a lot of damage to your vehicle. The interior of this RV is comparable to others. However, it can vary depending on the price of the RV and you can buy a more elaborate set up for more money.
