An RV, or recreational vehicle, is a motor vehicle or trailer that includes living quarters designed for accommodation. RVs can either be trailers (which are towed behind motor vehicles) or self-propelled vehicles. There are many different types of RVs, including:
-
Motorhomes: These are self-propelled RVs that come in three classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A motorhomes are the largest and most luxurious, while Class B motorhomes are the smallest and most basic.
-
Campervans: These are small, self-propelled RVs that are built on a van chassis.
-
Coaches: These are large, self-propelled RVs that are designed for long-term living and travel.
-
Caravans: Also known as travel trailers or camper trailers, these are towable RVs that are designed to be pulled behind a motor vehicle.
-
Fifth-wheel trailers: These are towable RVs that are designed to be attached to a pickup truck with a special hitch.
-
Popup campers: These are towable RVs that are collapsible for easy storage and transport.
-
Truck campers: These are RVs that are designed to be mounted on the bed of a pickup truck.
RVs can range from utilitarian, containing only sleeping quarters and basic cooking facilities, to luxurious, with features like air conditioning, water heaters, televisions, and quartz countertops.
