What's the difference between motorhome "classes"?
Folks new to the motorhome world are oftentimes confused by the jargon. "Class A" motorhome? "Class C" motorhome? Van campers? Isn't there some way to keep RV shopping simple? Let's try and demystify the "types" or "classes" of motorhomes.


Is a pop-up RV for you?
Many former tent campers transition to RVs by way of a "pop up camper." You may hear them referred to as "tent campers" or "fold out campers," but the concept is generally the same: A small, low profile trailer, that once at camp, expands and unfolds, often by using canvas sides.Is a pop-up for you? Like all other RVs, pop-ups have their advantages and disadvantages to be weighed and compared to see what fits you best.
Conversion vans double as RV, passenger vehicle
A growing number of value-conscious consumers looking to travel in comfort but with plenty of cargo space and room for extra passengers are choosing van conversions.
So many choices - Class A, B and C pros and cons
If you are thinking of purchasing of a motor home, start by considering the relative advantages of Class A, Class B and Class C coaches. Understanding the pros and cons of each group will help you make an informed selection.


RV Choices: Motor Homes or Trailers
So many choices: Class A, B and C motor homes, truck campers, travel trailers and fifth wheels. There is no “right” answer. Tailor the selection process to your personal needs, understand the trade-offs, to help select the RV that is right for you.
Tow-able Choices: Travel Trailer vs Fifth Wheel
Choosing between travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers. As with other decisions in the RV spectrum, there is no single right answer. Learn their advantages. Then hink about your needs and the choice will be easier.


Own a pickup? A fifth-wheel trailer might be right for you.
If you are one of the millions of Americans whose family "car" is a pick-up truck, you hold the key to what is fast becoming the most luxurious recreational vehicle lifestyles in North America!
Towing an RV is a popular choice
Compatible tow vehicles and trailers abound in today's market. Auto makers offer a large selection of tow vehicles with sophisticated engineering packages providing greater towing power, superior maneuverability and braking.
Truck campers are ideal RVs, especially if you already own a truck
My first trip as an RV owner was in a truck camper. It was nothing fancy —no bathroom, no shower, no heater. But it had a double bed over the cab and a tiny kitchen with icebox. And, very important, it kept out the cold and critters and kept me dry when it rained.
