A Look At Different Motorhomes
There are different classifications of motor homes as we have pointed out previously. We have reviewed in earlier articles Type A, the recreational vehicle. Then we reviewed Type B motor homes, these are the van camper and travel trailer.
As for Type C motor homes, these are "mini-motor homes" as they are popularly known. If you compare larger recreational vehicles with these motor homes, you'll find that they have many of the same features or maybe the same extras, but the Type C generally handles much better than a larger vehicle. 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.
Next would be the Fifth Wheel motor home - sounds interesting, but what is it? It's simply an "L" shaped trailer that can be seen at the back of pick-up trucks. And if you can afford it, you can have them stocked with all sorts of amenities. While you do the exploring on your vehicle, you can have the Fifth Wheel motor home parked at the camp ground - this is quite similar to the purpose of the travel trailer.
A very popular family motor home is a truck camper. You can get them on the cheap even if they're brand new - think somewhere around $10,000 for $20,000 for most. 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.
If you love camping, the pop ups would be good for you and your family. These are essentially a tent on wheels and are a great first step for those thinking about Rving. These would be ideal for families or groups of two to eight people. The kitchen may not be an actual kitchen but fulfills the same purpose, with sink and stove top included. But take note that protection isn't really adequate on these vehicles, as it is only made of screening and canvas - not to mention there's less room on the vehicle.
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.
Decide what type of vacationing you will be doing. Are you going to be vacationing in one area or are you going to be exploring a different area each day and staying in different places each night? For your vacation, you have to ask yourself when you wish to go. You wouldn't want to take a pop up, for instance, when going on a ski trip. What budget do you have for fuel? Take note that most recreational vehicles only go about five to eight miles per gallon, and there are 100 gallons to fill, so you'll need a rather sizeable budget for gas. Is the above gas budget too much for you? In that case a mini-motor home may be for you.
