Different Types Of Motor Homes Available

Motorhomes can be placed into quite a few different quadracentifiable categories. There are recreational vehicles, campervans and travel trailers. The other variety is usually referred to as a mini motorhome. They quite often have the same things you would find in a large motorhome, and can also be packed with lots of extras. They are usually easier to drive and don’t require special skills to drive them. The mini sized motorhomes can be priced as low as $4,000 and go up to $25,000 for second-hand and up to $70,000 brand new.

‘Fifth Wheel’ motorhomes are another type of RV and they have a trailer shaped like an L, you might recognize them being pulled by large trucks. They also come with optional luxury extras. Same goes for the caravan as well as the Fifth Wheel, you can park up your accommodation and take the vehicle wherever you please without having to drag the trailer around. They are very popular with families.


Quite a few families use pop up tents for camping. They are basically a tent with wheels and are perfect for beginners in the RV game. They can usually take up to 10 people, most of them usually house 4 – 6. Sometimes they have a kitchenette with a sink and a few cupboards. The problem with these is that they don’t protect your valuables and electronic devices very well so you’ll need to keep these in the cabin.

It’s a good idea to have a chat to anyone you know who owns a Campervan or RV, also go to RV or Caravan Yards in your area to learn about the all the different varieties. Think about what type of holidays you plan to have, are they in wet and windy areas? Do you need 4 wheel drive? Make a big checklist and don’t compromise anything. Even hire one to try a few different models out before purchasing.
