If you’ve never purchased an RV before, you may feel a bit overwhelmed the first time you arrive on the dealership lot. RVs come in an enormous range of shapes and sizes and, as a result, there are often hundreds of models you’re expected to comb through. Thankfully, with the helpful information in our article, you’ll not only cut your shopping time in half, but you’ll also walk away with the perfect RV model for your needs.

Fifth Wheels

Fifth wheels are some of the largest RV models on the market and often require a heavy-duty towing vehicle, as well as quite a bit of practice to get the hang of traveling with such a heavy rig. However, because of their impressive size, fifth wheels tend to have some of the best amenities available on the market! They also come with a surplus of comfortable sleeping spaces and are perfect for families looking to travel in large groups.

Toy Haulers

While toy haulers are technically the same size as fifth wheels, they don't offer the same amount of living space. Instead, these unique RVs come with a handy storage space in the back, perfect for carrying small vehicles—such as ATVs or motorcycles— or traveling with a surplus of gear. However, while they may not offer as much wiggle room as other RVs, these models are far from cramped and still have plenty of space to allow you to stretch your legs or travel with friends.

Travel Trailers

Travel trailers are some of the most versatile RVs on the market, coming in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and prices. As a result, it’s easy to find a travel trailer that’s able to fit your unique travel needs without breaking your budget. Unlike fifth wheels or toy haulers, these RVs can be pulled by smaller tow vehicles such as SUVs or pick-ups, however, they don’t tend to offer as much living space as the other two models listed above.
