There are different classifications of motor homes as we have pointed out previously. A few weeks back we told you about the recreational vehicle (RV), or Type A. We then dealt with van campers or travel trailers, or Type B motor homes.
As for Type C motor homes, these are "mini-motor homes" as they are popularly known. Their main advantage is better handling as compared to larger RVs, and you can always add on all sorts of goodies, even if they have a lot of the same standard features as the larger motor homes we previously discussed. You can get a brand new Type C mini-motor home for just $65,000 at the very most, while you can get one used anywhere between $5,000 and $2,000.
The Fifth Wheel motor home is an interesting classification we're going to cover next. It's simply an "L" shaped trailer that can be seen at the back of pick-up trucks. These are also available for those who can afford them with luxurious amenities and design. They are similar to the travel trailer, because Fifth Wheel motor homes can be parked while you go camping, as you use your vehicle to do all the exploring you wish.
A very popular family motor home is a truck camper. They are often very inexpensive ranging between $8,000 and $22,000 new. These work well for those that are single, or parents and kids. This is a basic type of motor home good for anyone who's on a budget.
A lot of families use pop ups for camping. These are essentially a tent on wheels and are a great first step for those thinking about Rving. About two to eight people can sleep in pop ups. They usually have some type of small kitchen, stove top and sink and storage. The disadvantage is that you have less room and less protection from the elements due to the fact that you have screening and canvas as protection.
Talk to family and friends who have RV's. You can broaden your research by going to RV shows when held at your location, and choose the best RV or motor home that would suit your needs.
Before you go out and buy, you should first be sure of how you wish to go on vacation. Are you going to be traveling to one destination for several days or spreading out the trip over different locations, one for each day? What season of the year do you wish to go on vacation? If you're going on a winter vacation, you will not be very comfortable on a pop up. How much can you spend for gas? Can you afford to fill the 100 gallon gas tank of a recreational vehicle that gets 5 to 8 miles per gallon? Do you have to be more cost conscious? In that case a mini-motor home may be for you.
