what is rv

RV stands for recreational vehicle, which is a motor vehicle or trailer that includes living quarters designed for accommodation. RVs can range from utilitarian, containing only sleeping quarters and basic cooking facilities, to luxurious, with features like air conditioning, water heaters, televisions, and satellite receivers. There are different types of RVs, including motorhomes, campervans, coaches, caravans (also known as travel trailers and camper trailers), fifth-wheel trailers, popup campers, and truck campers. RVs can either be trailers (which are towed behind motor vehicles) or self-propelled vehicles. Motorized RVs are categorized according to their class — Class A, B, or C. Other types of recreational vehicles include towable RVs, fifth wheels, pop-up trailers, and toy haulers. The exact definition of an RV varies from state to state, so its important to check with your local DMV before making your choice.
