Motor Home - Take These RVs Wherever You Go
by Brooke Hayles

In recent years, motor homes or RVs, have become the preferred method of travel for many. They can make traveling more enjoyable, as you can appreciate the scenery, which you can’t do in a plane. You can use the rest room without stopping, which you can’t do in a car. And you can stop anytime you want, which you can’t do in a train. And because you are traveling with a bed in the back, it doesn’t matter what time you stop for the night. Also, you don’t have to worry about getting all your stuff out of the hotel in the morning if you are staying in different towns on your vacation.

Various Categories Of Motor Homes

Motorized RVs and Towed RVs are the two types of motor homes. The name says it all. Motorized RVs move under their own power, while the towed RVs are hooked to the back of your car or truck. Towed RVs are also called campers or trailers. Of the motorized RVs, there are three types: Class A, Class B and Class C.

Following is a quick crash course of the difference in the three.

Class A This is the largest and most expensive type of motor home. They have all the comforts of home such as living area, bedroom, dining room and a kitchen. The driver and passenger seats can actually spin around so they can double as a couple extra chairs in the living room. The thing that makes these so popular is they drive just like your car. Except for the size, you don’t need to learn anything different when driving a Class A, as they don’t take much to get used to.

Class B The smaller Class B motor home is built on the same chassis as a van with a raised roof. These are fairly small, generally speaking, but are also easy to drive. They contain a living area, bedroom, bathroom and a dining area as well. They are quite a bit smaller than the Class A and they have less overall space and the sleeping quarters are quite small.

Class C If your budget is tight, the class C is for you. They are considerably smaller than the other two classes. The sleeping area is built over the drivers cab. This type is built on a truck chassis. The nice thing is that these also have a living, bath and dining area, but they are going to be rather small. The low cost and towing capability of the Class C makes it good choice also.
