RV Types

The RV Family 

Recreation vehicles, or RVs, comprise a whole family of vehicles that  combine transportation and temporary living quarters for recreation, camping and travel.  Some provide a simple place for sleeping and eating, while others are virtually luxury lodges on wheels.    Conveniences range from the basics -- like running water, cooking and bathroom facilities, and a power source (either electricity or liquid propane) -- to added comforts such as air conditioning, entertainment systems and slideout rooms.  RVs fall into two general categories:

Towable RVs
