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
An RV designed to be towed by a motorized vehicle (car, van or pick-up
truck) and of such size and weight as not to require a special highway movement
permit. Towable RVs do not require permanent on-site hook-up
Folding Camping Trailer
Truck Camper

Motorized RVs
An RV built on or as an integral part of a self-propelled motor vehicle
chassis, combining transportation and living quarters in one unit.
