Travel trailer
Travel trailers are one of the most diverse types of campers because they include all non-folding camper trailers. This type of RV can range from 10 to 40 feet and weigh from 1,100 to 12,000 pounds. Travel trailers are the most diverse category of campers, ranging from lightweight to heavy, small to large.
Travel trailers can be inexpensive or expensive, with varying amenities. Travel trailers, like pop-ups, are defined by their ability to be towed with a traditional hitch.
Fifth wheel camper
This is the largest camper trailer available before leaving the tow-behind category. Fifth wheels are typically at least 22 feet long but can be up to 40 feet long. Fifth wheels offer the same size, comfort, amenities, and sleeping space as some of the largest motorhomes.
However, you do not have to drive the fifth wheel because it can be towed like a standard camper trailer. Fifth wheels, unlike other types of camper trailers, can only be towed using a specially designed hitch on certain pickups and full-size trucks. The hitch is connected to a u-shaped mechanism on the truck bed, causing the front of the trailer to extend over the truck bed. This is what gives these trailers their “fifth wheel” moniker.
Class B (and B+) RVs
A Class B RV is the smallest fully motorized recreational vehicle available. This class is typically 18 to 24 feet long and provides the most basic space and storage.
Class B motorhomes are also known as van campers and resemble large family van. Because it is the smallest RV Class, it is also the most affordable, uses the least gas, and is the easiest to park.
