What Kind of Camper is Right For You?

Campers are extremely versatile RVs and tend to come in all shapes and sizes. However, while this variety is handy for ensuring you find a camper model that meets your exact preferences, it can make shopping for a new camper quite a hassle. To help you cut down on your shopping time and quickly find the perfect model for your needs, we recommend checking out the tips below. 

Fifth Wheels

Large and in charge, these massive campers are a huge hit among families and travel enthusiasts who plan to live in their trailers full-time. With plenty of passenger space, luxury amenities, and an abundance of comfortable sleep accommodations, you and your entire family will be able to travel in comfort and style. Just remember you’ll need a heavy-duty towing vehicle to get your fifth-wheel RV from place to place, so pay close attention to the gross weight limit of your vehicle. 

Travel Trailers

Travel trailers are some of the most popular campers on the market thanks to their impressive versatility and convenience. These models come in an enormous range of shapes and sizes and offer a wide range of amenities as well. However, while convenient, travel trailers don’t tend to offer as much space as fifth-wheels, making things feel a bit cramped if you’re traveling with a large group of passengers. 

Toy Haulers

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a toy hauler is the perfect camper for you! With its handy storage facility in the back, you can bring along as much gear as you like—from powersports vehicles and kayaks to climbing gear and camping equipment. However, this extra storage will cut into your living space up front, so be sure to tour the front compartment of the camper to see if you’re comfortable with the layout.
