Types Of Motor Homes

By Richard Horowitz

As you may know from our previous articles, motor homes have different classifications. A few weeks back we told you about the recreational vehicle (RV), or Type A. Then we reviewed Type B motor homes, these are the van camper and travel trailer.

Type C motor homes are often called mini-motor homes. These often have the same amenities of larger motor homes, and can be ordered with quite luxurious amenities, but these mini-motor homes are much easier to handle on the road than the larger recreational vehicle. Type C mini-motor homes range in price between $5,000 and $20,000 used and up to $65,000 used.

Next would be the Fifth Wheel motor home – sounds interesting, but what is it? This is the “L” shaped trailer you see being pulled by large pick up trucks. And if you can afford it, you can have them stocked with all sorts of amenities. They are similar to the travel trailer, because Fifth Wheel motor homes can be parked while you go camping, as you use your vehicle to do all the exploring you wish.

The truck camper is another motor home quite popular with families. They are often very inexpensive ranging between $8,000 and $22,000 new. Whether you’re married, with children or single and unattached, they are versatile enough for most of your needs. They are basic in design and function.

If you love camping, the pop ups would be good for you and your family. Think about them as mobile tents of sorts – if you’re new to the RV game, you can certainly go for these. These pop-ups can sleep from two to eight people. They come complete with a storage section and stove top in a makeshift kitchen. However, you may not get the protection from weather and other elements you would normally get, because there is less room and mere canvas serving as protection.

If you know anybody who owns an RV, chat them up immediately. Go to RV shows in your area and check out the different models of motor homes and recreational vehicles for yourself.

Before you go out and buy, you should first be sure of how you wish to go on vacation. Are you going to be traveling to one destination for several days or spreading out the trip over different locations, one for each day? What time of year are you going to be vacationing? If you’re going on a winter vacation, you will not be very comfortable on a pop up. What budget do you have for fuel? When budgeting your gas expenses, remember that an RV can hold up to 100 gallons of gas, and mileage is pretty low at about 5 to 8 miles per gallon. Is the above gas budget too much for you? In that case a mini-motor home may be for you.
