Recreational Vehicle Types

VR CATEGORIES

There seems to be a lot of confusion when using the word RV and what it describes. It is my hope that this simple little article will help you understand all that the letters RV encapsulate.

First RV is short for recreational vehicle. To many, the RV is a motor home, but while that’s true, it also covers other types of recreational vehicles. The main categories would be Motorhomes, which covers Class A Motorhomes, Class C Motorhomes, B+ Motorhomes and even a couple of other areas such as Toy Transport Motorhomes, Class B Motorhomes and Super C Motorhomes. Then there is the Trailers category which represents travel trailers, hybrid travel trailers, toy hauling travel trailers, v-front travel trailers, work and play travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy hauling fifth wheels, low-profile fifth wheels, mid-profile fifth wheels, high-profile fifth wheels, entry-level fifth wheels, deluxe fifth wheels, and folding campers, also called pop-up campers.

As you can see, the letters RV cover a large number of products that I mentioned above. When you add brands and niches to all of the above, it becomes huge and hard to understand and even harder to make a decision on what to buy. Questions like what type would work best for me? What size would work best? What is the difference between the brands? Do I have the right towing vehicle? I know I want a towable type, but should I get a travel trailer or a fifth wheel? Should I get a bunkhouse RV or a mom-and-pop style? Should I buy a Forest River Inc Sandpiper fifth wheel or a Coachmen Wyoming fifth wheel? Should I buy a Wildwood travel trailer from Forest River Inc or an Autumn Ridge from Starcraft RV?

These are all great questions and we are writing articles almost every day to add to our article directory. The decision on what type of RV to purchase rests entirely with the individual. However, to help make that decision here are a few things to consider. Do I want to drive my RV or pull it with a tow vehicle? Is it going to settle permanently. If so, a Lodge park trailer would definitely fit this need better. One of the best tips I could give is to visit an RV dealer and sit down with a sales consultant and talk to them about your needs or visit an RV dealer’s website and look at the product and then email them with questions. .

I wish you the best in all your VR adventures. Happy camping!
