Different RV Body Styles, Explained

Deciding you want an RV is simple. Figuring out what RV is actually right for you and your lifestyle is a bit tougher. Whether you like traveling with large groups, mountain biking with friends, or camping with family, there’s an RV that will meet your needs and wants. 

Learning about the different RV body styles is an important step to make sure you get exactly what you want out of your investment. 

TOY HAULERS 

If you live a sporty and adventurous life, a toy hauler is a perfect choice for you. Toy haulers are specifically designed to haul whatever toys you love, like four-wheelers, mountain bikes, kayaks, and golf carts. This means you don’t need an extra rack or trailer. Travel where you want to go without having to leave your toys — and therefore fun experiences — behind.   

TRAVEL TRAILERS 

Travel trailers are one of the most versatile and popular styles of RV on the market. If you’ve been to a campground, you’ve surely seen one. While some RVs can be driven by themselves, a travel trailer must be towed. Travel trailers are known for being easy to detach and set up once you reach your campground or destination. See for yourself how much good being outdoors can do for you. 

With many floor plans and styles, a travel trailer can meet your needs no matter what they are. 

FIFTH WHEELS 

These RVs have a fifth wheel hitch that connects to the bed of a truck, making them easy to drive. Fifth wheels do require that you have a large pickup truck that’s equipped to handle the weight of the RV. The hitch creates a raised forward section that gives you expanded interior space. Typically, bedrooms or living rooms are part of this section. 

Fifth wheels are spacious RVs perfect for families or large groups who love camping. Once you get to your destination, you can unhitch your RV and use your truck as usual. 

DESTINATION TRAILER

Meet the original tiny home. A destination trailer can be stationary for months at a time, setting it apart from other RVs. Since destination trailers are designed to stay in one place for long periods of time, they have more amenities than other RVs. A destination trailer is likely to have appliances like a washer and dryer or a residential fridge, for example. If you own or rent land or like to vacation for months at a time, this could be the right RV for you. 

MOTOR HOMES

Motorhomes have everything in one place, meaning the living and driving area are connected as one. Motorhomes have bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and more — all the essentials of a living space. These spacious, livable, and large RVs are great for traveling long distances without giving up the relaxing feel of a home.
