Truck Camper

A truck camper is defined as a portable unit constructed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, travel, or camping use, consisting of a roof, floor, and sides, designed to be loaded onto and unloaded from the bed of a pickup truck. Some may have kitchen and bathroom facilities. They can sleep two to six people. Truck campers and folding camping trailers are both popular choices of first-time RVers because they are generally the most lightweight and inexpensive types of RVs.

Folding Camping Trailer

A folding camping trailer is a towable unit mounted on wheels and constructed with collapsible partial side walls that fold and unfold at the campsite to provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, or travel use. A folding camping trailer’s collapsible sides can be soft fabric or hard and are lightweight. Because they are lightweight, some can be towed by small compact cars. Like all trailers, they have the advantage of being unhitched and left set up at the campsite. They can have water and electrical hookups, down-sized modern appliances, kitchen and dining facilities, and can sleep up to eight people and have bathroom and shower facilities.

Travel Trailer

A travel trailer is a towable unit, mounted on wheels, designed to provide temporary quarters for recreational, camping, or travel use, of such size or weight as not to require special highway movement permits when towed by a motorized vehicle. A travel trailer can provide comforts such as full kitchen, toilet, dining and living facilities, electric and water systems and modern appliances. An advantage of travel trailers is the flexibility. At a campsite, they can be unhitched from the tow vehicle, which can then be used for side trips. Travel trailers are limited in size to not exceed 400 square feet, measured on the exterior of the unit, in the setup mode. Travel trailers can sleep four to eight people.

Hybrid Trailers

Hybrid, or expandable camping trailers, are towables that combine the characteristics of both a conventional travel trailer and folding tent camper. The expandable sleeping areas provide for additional interior space while keeping the overall size of the unit reduced. Lightweight design features and compact size makes towing a hybid easier than a conventional travel trailer with similar interior accommodations.

Sport Utility Trailer

A sport utility RV has a built-in "garage" for hauling cycles, ATVs and other sports equipment.

Fifth Wheel Trailers

A fifth wheel trailer uses a towing mechanism that is mounted in a truck bed above and forward of the tow vehicle's rear axle. A fifth wheel trailer is similar to the travel trailer in every way, except in how it is towed. Where a travel trailer typically uses a ball and coupler for attachment to the tow vehicle, the fifth wheel trailer uses a “fifth wheel” hitch, similar to a tractor trailer arrangement. The fifth wheel hitch uses a king pin, generally mounted on the trailer, and a pin box, mounted on the bed of a pick-up truck, for connection between the trailer and the tow vehicle. Fifth wheel trailers are limited in size to not exceed 430 square feet, measured on the exterior of the unit, in the setup mode. Most units are designed to sleep four to eight people.

Motorhome

A motorhome is a motorized unit designed to provide temporary quarters for recreational, camping, or travel use, built on or permanently attached to a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis or on a chassis cab or van that is an integral part of the completed vehicle. A motorhome can provide complete and modern kitchen, sleeping, bathroom, living and dining facilities, all conveniently accessible to the driver's cab from inside the motorhome. There are three types of motorhomes: conventional motorhomes (Type A) which, depending on size, can sleep up to ten people; van campers (Type B) that can sleep from two to six people; and mini-motorhomes which include low profile and compact motorhomes (Type C), that can sleep two to eight people.
