We break down RV classes and more There?s a lot to love about campers and RVs (That?s why we started a new community group just for camper addicts, join us!) But even the most enthusiastic camper aficionado can get confused: What makes a Class C different from other RVs" Why is a fifth wheel trailer called, well, a fifth wheel" And are camper vans considered an RV or...something else"
Whether you?re looking to buy a new camper or just want to level up your camper vocabulary, this guide is a good place to start.

In the Recreational Vehicle (RV) world, you?re either towing something, or you?re not. It sounds simple, but that?s the first main distinction. If you?re not towing a trailer, then the vehicle and the living space are on the same chassis and you can always access the interior of your camper when you?re driving. If you?re towing something, you?re likely pulling some sort of trailer. How much that trailer weighs and how you actually pull it depends on a few factors, and that?s what we break down in this guide. From Class A RVs to the tiniest featherweight trailer, here?s every kind of RV you can find on the road.
