A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right RV Type

Baydo’s RV Center is your local camper dealership in Washington, and we have years of experience dealing with all types of campers. Our experts have created this guide to give you an overview of the different RV types. Let’s dive in!

Drivable RVs

Drivable RVs, also known as motorhomes, are self-contained campers. This means they have a drivetrain and other amenities, such as one or more bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living room. Motorhomes are classified as Class A, Class B, and Class C RVs.

Class A motorhomes are the largest and most luxurious RVs that often resemble tour buses. They offer plenty of living space and amenities but the highest price tags. Class C motorhomes are smaller than Class A vehicles and feature a unique design with an extended sleeping area on the top of the driving cab. This makes them ideal for families traveling with one or two extra passengers. Class B motorhomes, the smallest motorhomes, are perfect for solo travelers or couples who frequently plan weekend trips.

Towable RVs

If you have a commuter vehicle like a pickup truck or SUV, consider purchasing a towable RV. These unique campers require a towing vehicle of sufficient size and weight handling capacity to haul them from one place to another. Towable RVs can be travel trailers or fifth wheels.

Travel trailers come in various sizes and styles and accommodate travelers with different preferences and budgets. They feature a bumper pull hitch that makes them easier to attach to a towing vehicle and hit the road.

The other type of towable RV is the fifth wheels. They require a pickup truck to haul them from one destination to another. That’s because they feature a gooseneck-style hitch, which needs them to be mounted onto the bed of a pickup truck. They offer more space than travel trailers and are perfect for families and larger groups.

Other Types of RVs

If you enjoy off-road adventures or want a more versatile RV for traveling, consider buying a truck camper. These compact and lightweight towable vehicles are available in hard-sided and pop-up models. On the other hand, frequent travelers who love bringing their ATVs, UTVs, PWCs, or dirt bikes with them will benefit from investing in a toy hauler. This type of RV combines a garage with living quarters, and they are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and those who love to travel in style.
