Q. What's the difference between a Class A, Class B and a Class C motor home?
A Class A is constructed on a specially designed motor vehicle chassis. Class A's are the "Big Boys" of the motorized RVs, and are the most favored motor home of full-timers. A Class B motor home is a compact unit that looks much like a regular van. These are popular because they can often be parked in the family garage or driven around town as a second vehicle. Per square foot, however, a Class B usually costs more than a Class C. A Class C is built on an automotive-manufactured van frame with an attached cab. The motor home manufacturer completes the living section and attaches it to the cab section. A Class C motor home is easy to identify: In most cases, a full- or queen-size bed is over the cab.

Access to the living area from the cab is seldom possible, however. The camper can be easily removed from the truck at the campground or back home. Truck camper prices range from about $2,300 to $20,000.
Q. Which RV is best for me, a travel trailer, or 5th wheel?
A towable RV (trailer or fifth wheel) is that you have access to the unit while you're on the road. It's easy to grab a snack, for example, or use the toilet (tell the driver to avoid fast turns!).
A trailer or fifth wheeler is often the best choice for full-timers because they can park it and then drive the tow-vehicle. For RVers who spend weeks or even months in one place, a Fifth Wheeler or Trailer is often the best choice. Towable RVs are also much less expensive than motorized ones.
A truck camper is an excellent choice if you already own a truck. You'd be surprised how many features are packed into these compact units.
For infrequent family campers, and campers on a tight budget, a folding camping trailer is an excellent choice. These are generally among the least expensive, lightest RVs, and can be pulled behind a small to medium-sized car. Some are pretty plush with porta-potties and even showers.
Q. What kitchen appliances come in RVs?
Everything you have at home. Microwaves come in all but the least expensive units, and even coffee makers.
Q. How many people do RVs sleep?
Four to six on average, but sometimes less and sometimes more.
Q. Can I pull a travel trailer with my family car?
In many cases, yes. New lightweight towables are popular these days and can be pulled by most six-cylinder cars and sport utility vehicles. Lightweight towables are generally less than 26 feet long and 4,000 pounds or less with most or the features of heavier units. They typically retail for $8,000 to $14,000. Some small folding camping trailers can even be pulled behind a four-cylinder car.
