2022-05-24 00:00:00 Types of RVs - Class B

Also called B-Vans or camper vans, Class B motorhomes are the ultimate home on the road for adventurous RVers. As the name implies, this type of RV is typically built on a van chassis. They can have a gas or diesel engine. They are nimble and drive like a standard automobile, so they can easily go from camping to big-city adventures. Some even have off-road equipment options for exploring remote areas. Camper Vans typically measure between 20-25 feet in length. Don’t be fooled by that compact size; manufacturers have cleverly designed the interiors to fit all the essentials. You’ll find amenities like swiveling toilets and fold-away sinks in the wet bath of these motorhomes. And many of the sleeping spaces in Class Bs convert from seats to beds in minutes. This type of RV is most popular among solo travelers and couples. Open / Comment

A lot of people think cooking with electricity is only an option at home, connected to the grid. After all, an electric cooker typically has its own dedicated circuit using 6mm cable and a 32A fuse, so cooking with electricity in a camper van is completely out of the question – right? No …it seems.

In fact, there are a lot of RV owners who use them in their RVs. Although it requires a lot of energy and very powerful electrical system in your motorhome. So it has its pros and cons compared with conventional gas cookers. Open / Comment

2022-05-22 00:05:24 Types of RVs - Fifth wheel campers

The largest type of towable RV, fifth wheel campers, are pulled by large pick-up trucks with a special fifth wheel hitch located in the bed of the truck. Because of this hitch, they have a raised forward section where you’ll typically find a bedroom or living room. Fifth wheels are some of the most spacious RVs available thanks to their extended length and slideouts. Some floorplans have up to six slideouts! This makes them a great option for large families or those who want to camp with big groups. Many fifth wheel RVers will park their RV at a campground and detach the towing vehicle for daily travel. As with any towable RV, it’s critical that the towing vehicle is rated to handle the weight of the RV plus its contents. Open / Comment

2022-05-19 00:00:00 Types of RVs - Class C

A smaller type of motorhome, Class C motorhomes are usually built on a truck chassis. Gas and diesel options are available. Some well-known manufacturers of Class C engines include Chevy, Ford, and Mercedes Benz. Class C RVs have a distinctive “cab-over” profile that makes them easy to recognize (and provides an extra bed or storage space). Many Class C motorhomes offer similar amenities to their Class A counterparts, like kitchens, bathrooms, and slideouts, just on a smaller scale. Their shorter chassis also means these RVs can go places where larger RVs won’t fit, like some state park campsites. Numerous Class C floorplans are available, making this type of RV perfect for anyone that loves remote exploring and camping – especially families and couples who travel with friends. Open / Comment

It took Ron Onrust of the Netherlands four years to turn a Neoplan double-decker bus into his RV home. First to go were the 90 seats. He still used the two levels, though, with a floor plan he designed on his computer. Upstairs he placed bedrooms and a bathroom. Downstairs are the kitchen, dining room, and TV area. He made two walls out of cherry tables and others out of shiny white flooring. Open / Comment
