Texas RV Travel : RV Categories
There are standard categories of RVs. However, there are all types of vehicles that are used for traveling and camping.

Class A RVs are the luxurious motor homes, usually 30-40+ feet long. These motor homes have multiple slide outs and are capable of pulling trailers, cars and boats. |

Class B RVs are van conversions, with varying amenities. Class B+ sometimes used for a huge Class B RV that has slideouts.

| Class C RVs are distinctive in that they are cab over on a truck chassis. They look like a truck camper, but it is one unit. |  |

Travel trailers are self-contained housing units that are towed by cars or trucks, using a hitch. They may be unhooked and left at a campground or storage. |
| 5th wheel trailers are also self-contained, pulled by a truck using a distinctive hitch. |  |

Toyhaulers (travel or 5th wheel trailers) are RVs that have a garage for motorcycles, ATVs, even cars.

Popup campers are lightweight and built to expand at the campsite. The hard top pops up, the canvas sides pop out, the stairs come down and you are set.
