There are three main categories of recreational vehicles – travel trailers, motorhomes and park models.
Travel trailers are designed to be towed behind a vehicle and can be unhitched at one’s destination. These include travel, fifth wheel and pop-up/folding camping trailers.
Motorhomes are drivable RVs, with the vehicle and the living quarters combined in the same structure. These include Class A, B and C motorhomes and campervans.
Park models are movable, traditionally structured cabins, designed for seasonal use and only occasional relocation in which a heavy-duty tow vehicle is used.
