Recreational vehicle (often referred as RV) is an enclosed equipment with dual purposes. First it functions as a regular moving vehicle, and second as a temporary home. Some people call this as a motor home or a motor caravan. A recreational vehicle is intended for almost every use, to travel to different places yet still feel like being at home.

RVs can be rented in many cities. People who opt for an RV versus a car when traveling rave about the complete amenities inside of an ordinary house. It’s a great innovation that’s in demand nowadays.

A look-see inside an RV:

• Beds where you can take a rest or nap
• A multi-functional table
• Fully-equipped kitchen

Larger models of RVs have additional features like:

• Bathrooms
• Refrigerators
• Living areas
• Master’s bedrooms

Recreational vehicles are sometimes used as mobile-on-the-go. These RVs have special features like satellite TV and Internet access, slide-out sections and awnings. You just have an extra table and other needed equipments needed to be used in typical offices. Some have a small storing area for an ordinary car. An RV typically has sufficient supply of electricity and generator.. Other RVs are used just to tow small cars.

Types of RVs:

• Class A motor home – constructed with different kinds of chassis. Be it a commercial truck, a specially-designed motor vehicle or a commercial bus chassis.
• Bus conversion – highly-customized with luxury components; typically the largest motor vehicle available.
• Class B Campervan – like a conventional van with raised roof added or the back has been replaced by low body profile.
• Class C motor home – built on truck chassis with an attached cab section. It has a cab-over profile called mini-home motor.
• Truck Camper – favored by hunters and other back wood travelers.
• Folding Trailer – this is also known as tent camper, collapse for towing and storage.
• Travel Trailer – a unit with rigid side which is designed to be towed
• Teardrop Trailer – is a lightweight travel trailer, sometimes towed by a motorcycle
• Hybrid Trailer – combination of a travel trailer and a folding (tent) trailer
• Fifth-wheel Trailer – towed by a pick- up or a medium duty truck
• Park Model – is a standard traveler trailer but is not self-contained; designed for park camping only and not for dry camping. It has hot water storage tanks and must be used with hook ups.
• Toterhome – for pulling of large and heavy trailers

Renting RVs are expensive, and is not a better alternative to hotels or inns. But try it at least once in your life for the experience.
