RVs can be separated into two main categories:

Towable RVs - Towable RVs are designed to be towed by a car, van or pickup truck. They designed to be small in size and light in weight so as not to require a special highway movement permit. Towable RVs do not require a permanent on-site hook-up.

Motorized RVs - A motorized RV is built on or as an integral part of a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis, combining transportation, living quarters and sleeping areas in one unit.

 

Towable Type RV

Fifth Wheel Trailers

Designed to be affixed and towed by a pickup equipped with a special hitch in the bed, these two-level units can provide the greatest living of all towable RVs. Fifth-wheel travel trailers can come equipped with all the comforts of home, such as washer and dryer, satellite dish, computer desks, and ceiling fans. 5th wheel trailers are perfect for weekend getaways, family vacations and have become popular with fulltimers also.

Travel or Pull Trailers

A unit designed to be towed by a car, van or pickup by means of a bumper or frame hitch, the travel trailer provides all the comforts of home and is adaptable for weekend getaways, family vacations, and full timing. Using slide-outs in these units, manufacturers have been able to rival home-like features such as queen-size fold out beds, and island kitchens.

Size Range - 12 to 35 feet

Truck Campers

A unit loaded onto, or affixed to, the bed or chassis of a pickup, the truck camper is popular for rugged backroad journeys, accessing remote sites and family recreational camping.

Tent Trailers are towable and are light enough be pulled by vans and medium to large size cars. The folding camper has recently become high-tech, employing such features as Air-conditioning and slide-outs to increase their space and comfort.

The class C is usually built on an automotive manufactured van frame with an attached cab section. Utilizing slide-out technology, manufacturers have increased the interior room available.
