Which Type of RV is My Perfect Match? 

Do you prefer a motorized RV that’s a fully-functional vehicle, or are you more interested in a setup that can be pulled by a trailer? When you are in the market for a new or pre-owned RV, there are a few factors to keep in mind before making a final decision:

If you plan to be on the road for an extended period of time, you may want to consider a Class A or Class C motorhome. Many of these options are equipped with full-size furniture and other amenities.

• If you are looking for the ultimate in luxury, you will likely be more interested in Class A models. If you prefer something a bit more compact, Class C models will usually be your best bet. Size is not the only distinction between Class A and Class C models. They also vary by shape. Class A models share similarities with busses, while Class C versions have a more truck-like appearance.
• When it comes to durability and fuel economy, one of your best choices is a diesel version of the Class A motorhome. If you plan to take long road trips, this is a great option. 

For some, choosing a trailer or a camper is a better option than choosing a full-size motorhome. 

• The best choice for those who own a smaller vehicle is an Expandable trailer or a Fold-Down option (also known as a Pop-Up). What’s even better? They are usually quite affordable. 
• If you’ve heard the word “Camper” being thrown around, there’s a good chance that the user was referring to a Travel Trailer. If your vehicle is approved for towing, you can simply connect the Travel Trailer to the standard trailer hitch.
• Does your truck have a specialized fifth-wheel hitch? If so, you may want to opt for a Fifth-Wheel trailer. One of the main benefits is that it offers the optimal combination of size and stability for a non-motorized RV. 
• Another option for truck drivers is a Truck Camper – a camping outfit fitted and affixed to your standard truck bed.
