Which RV is Right For You?

In the market for a new RV, but aren’t quite sure which of the many models available for sale is the right fit for you? Then be sure to read over our helpful guide below! We’ve sorted the many RV models on the market into two convenient categories and provided helpful information on what makes each model different from the last. With the helpful tips in our article, it will be no time at all before you’re driving off the dealership lot with your new RV in tow!

Towables

Towable RVs, also called campers, are a popular choice for buyers who want to keep the care and maintenance of their rig to a minimum. However, if you want to travel with a larger camper, such as a toy hauler or fifth wheel, you’ll need a heavy-duty towing vehicle to get you from place to place. While these models have some unique benefits—such as a fifth wheel’s surplus of amenities or a toy hauler’s convenient storage space— they aren’t the right fit for everyone.

If you’re looking for an RV you can tow with your pick-up or SUV, you may prefer a travel trailer or pop-up camper. Travel trailers are a great pick for shoppers who want to be more selective with RV’s features, while pop-up campers are popular among campers who want the feel of the great outdoors but don’t want to spend their time setting up camp.

Drivables

If you don’t own a heavy-duty towing vehicle but want to travel in a larger RV, a motorhome may be the perfect solution! While they may require more maintenance and care, these RVs are extremely convenient to travel in, as they don't need to be hitched or towed to another vehicle to move.

Class A and class C motorhomes are also quite large, perfect for traveling with large groups of friends and family, or even long-term. The only caveat is that the primary sleeping space in a class C model is lofted meaning you’ll need to be able to use a ladder to reach your bed. If you’re more interested in smaller RV models, but don't want to deal with the hassle of towing your rig, you may enjoy the cozy space of a class B motorhome. These RVs are typically the size of large vans and are great for travelers who want the convenience of vacationing both outdoors and in the city.
