Shop for your RV


First, Let's talk about towable's. 5th. Wheels, Travel Trailers, and Toy Haulers.

Why pick one of these over a motor home? No engine to maintain, money will figure in to some, they cost less than a motor home. For a lot of people being able to pull into the campground, unhook and go exploring while the RV stays in camp is another reason. Not only is there less rig on the road, but if someone wants to stay in camp and others want to run about, everybody can be happy.

Travel Trailers can come in size from 12 to 35 feet, and you can expect to pay $9,000 to close to $100,000 for a new model. Features can range from almost nothing to super deluxe. From a galley with only a 2 burner stove and a fold down table for a bed to a complete kitchen with microwave full stove and 2 compartment sink, and a separate bedroom with wall mounted TV. You can get them with 1 to 4 slide outs





Toy Haulers are just like travel trailers with an added garage on the end. The purpose of this garage is so you have some place to store our toys. Like ATV's, Motorcycles, Hunting equipment. The back door drops down so your toys can roll right out. Toy Haulers can range in price from around $10,000 to over $100,000. And be anywhere from 20feet to 39 feet. Some toy haulers have sleeping quarters in the garage so you can sleep up to 8 people. By taking the garage with you expect to lose some comforts and spaciousness in the living areas.
 
 
5th. Wheels require the use of a pick up truck with a special hitch located in the bed of the truck. Just like travel trailers 5th. Wheels come with all of the modern conveniences of home. They can come with up to 4 slide outs. They also have larger windows for better viewing of the surrounding area. Although RV full timers have to downsize quite a bit. 5th. Wheels come with a basement garage where a lot of storage area can be found. Keep in mind due to how large 5th. Wheels can be, weight could be an issue, so make sure your tow vehicle can handle the job.
 
 
Class A Motorhomes most often resemble a fancy tour bus heading down the road. Most times they are a couple or family heading to their next camping destination. Class A's are built on a special large chassis and have all of the comforts of home. Full kitchens, a/c and heat, washer and dryers, and the best of entertainment systems. They will range in length from 20 to 40 feet and can cost anywhere from $50,000 to over 1 million. Many have slide outs and can sleep 6 comfortably. Class A's are designed for towing another car behind them. When you arrive at camp unhook the car. The Motorhome stays at camp while you go exploring the area.

Class C Motorhomes are built on van frames and stay looking like a van, from there back everything changes. The body is wider for more living space. The best way to tell you are looking at a Class C is by the sleeping area over the cab. The length of Class C's range from 20 to 35 feet. Cost starts about $45,000 and goes up from there. Slide outs are becoming more popular with Class C's. They can be found with most of the same comforts as most other RV's. Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, TV, and foldout couch. They too are equipped to tow a car behind
