People can move about while you're driving, and have three classes to choose from: A, B and C. Class A motorhomes are on a truck chassis. Class B are smaller and more compact. Class C are on a van chassis with a cabover. There are a variety of sizes and amenities to choose from.
This style extends over the bed of a pickup truck and is towed via a bed mounted hitch. Consider the size of truck you have to determine what weight you can tow, as they come in a range of sizes. They are generally larger than travel trailers.
These are towed completely behind the vehicle on a hitch and come in a variety of sizes. They are generally less expensive than fifth wheels.
Toy haulers are unique in that they allow you to bring along your toys such as ATVs or motorcycles without having to tow them behind your RV. They come in a variety of sizes and amenities and have a ramp to easily unload your toys.
