Which Type of RV/Trailer is Right For You?
There are so many different types of RVs, trailers, and campers out there, it can be overwhelming to decide which one you want! But before you purchase your first or a new vehicle, you should know which one is going to benefit you the most for what you are doing.
Truck Camper
This type of camper is small and definitely the easiest to take anywhere you want. This compact camper sits perfectly in the back of your truck. If you have one of these you don’t need a hitch or jack and don’t have to worry about caring for extra tires. A truck camper is perfect for you if you are camping alone or with a significant other. This is also great for you if you are looking for something more low maintenance and don’t have the need to cook or carry a lot with you.
Pop-Up Camper
Another compact type of camper is the pop-up camper. This is great for anyone who wants something compact while at home, but a little more roomy when in use. The pop-up feature allows more space only when you need it. You don’t have to worry about compromising space at home when you’re not using your camper. This is also lightweight and great for people who don’t own a truck. You can tow it using most types of cars.
Travel Trailer
A travel trailer is just about as close as you can get to a motorhome without it being a motorhome. This is another one that’s a great option if you want more space and own a larger vehicle minivan, truck, or SUV. You also have the option to get slideouts on travel trailers for even more space.
Fifth Wheel
Fifth wheels are very similar to travel trailers, offering a bit more room and a raised extension. Fifth wheels are best for those who want more space than all the previous vehicles offer but own a truck. The raised extension sits over the bed of a truck.
Class B RVs
These are the smallest type of RV, offering the features of an RV but in a more compact vehicle. These are motorized so there’s no need for towing. Class B Rvs look similar to a van and are often short enough to park inside a garage. However, they don’t offer as much space as the other classes so usually a common space converts to a bed.
Class C RVs
Class C RVs are just like Class B except that they have the extension over the cab. The extension is often a sleeping bunk, which is great for those who want a motorized vehicle with more space than Class B RVs. Both Class B and C are perfect for those who want a motorized vehicle separate from their truck or car but don’t want something too big.
Class A RVs
The Class A RVs are the largest of the motorized vehicles. These are ideal for those who want to go all in with the maximum amount of space and luxury. These can be purchased with various sizes and features and make for the most comfortable living.
Regardless of what vehicle you find is right for you, make sure you have the proper accessories with it including your TrailerLegs!
