RV Recreation Vehicles: What Everyone Should Know
from: Ultimate Camping SiteRV Recreation Vehicles are becoming more and more common in the USA. Perhaps you're thinking about getting one for yourself, in hopes of taking trips to the lake or the beach on weekends. Or maybe you are thinking about becoming one of the modern world's nomads, putting all your belongings into an RV and going off on the open road for years on end. Whatever your goal, choosing the right type from all the RV Recreation vehicles available can be a difficult thing if you don't know what you are looking for.
The first thing that everyone should know about RV recreation vehicles is the classes they are broken down into. There are three general types of RVs: A, B, and C. Each suits a different sort of use, and each type tends to cost a bit more or less than the others.
Class A RV recreation vehicles are the royalty of the RV world. They are large, offer the most storage space and luxury, and can be quite finicky about who they let service them. They are the “boxish” looking RVs, the ones with the cab as an extension of the living quarters. These are the upper end of RVs, and available models can be quite comfortable. The downside to luxury is the difficulty of maneuvering the large A class through traffic, and some camp grounds do not have the infrastructure—the road design—for class A RVs.
Class B RV recreation vehicles are vans that have been converted to be an RV. They are the smallest class of RVs, and also in general the most affordable. They offer the least amount of space, but are far easier to drive around than a Class A RV. Because of their relative ease of use and affordability, Class B RVs can be very popular.
Class C RV recreation vehicles are the middle ground between Class A and Class B. They are built from a modified truck or van chassis, and have the tell-tale sleeper protruding over the cab. Class C RVs are a good choice if you want more room than a Class B, but are not comfortable driving around a Class A. They are the choice that is a compromise between the pros and cons of the other two classes, and the price for them tends to range between upper market Class Bs to lower Market Class As.
If you decide that you are going to buy an RV, make a quick list of the things that you want to get out of yours. Rank your list in order of priority. Is it more important to you to have lots of extra space than driving ease? Do you want better fuel economy and carefree driving? What is your price range? Once you are more sure of what you want you are better equipped to make the right decision when you buy your own RV.
