The ABCs of Motorized RVs
No set-up time required: once you arrive, you’re ready to camp
A Classic Motorhome with Abundant Amenities
Class A Motorhome
Class A RVs are constructed entirely on a specially designed motor vehicle chassis. They are large, spacious, and generally have residential-sized kitchens, large living areas, separate bedrooms, and large bathrooms. One of the advantages of Class A RVs is that you don't need a tow vehicle to use it.
Camper Vans that Drive like a Family Car
Class B RV
Class B RVs are built using an automotive manufactured van or panel-truck shells. They are very easy to drive, park, and maneuver and include standard home-like amenities including a bathroom, sleeping area, and basic kitchen.
A Little of Class A and B Combined
Class C
Class C Motorhomes are easily recognizable by the over-the-cab area that is often an optional sleeping area. This type of RV is built on an automotive van frame with a wider body section attached to the original cab. Amenities are similar to those in conventional motorhomes with large kitchens, spacious living areas, large bathrooms, and a separate bedroom.

Living area
Class A motorhomes come with many features similar to what you have in your house. Comfortable furnishings, larger cabinets and sinks.
Full Vanity
Large vanities and double sinks appear in some of these larger RVs.
Private Bedroom
The layout and size of a Class A allows for a private bedroom separate from the rest of the living space.
Cockpit
While there may be a couple more screens to learn about and a couple more buttons and knobs, being in the drivers seat is not dramatically different than other vehicles that may be more familiar - the back up cameras and alert systems will make newbies more comfortable with some practice.

Everyone on lifecycle camps and we have been staying in an RV. It’s just been so nice that our team has a place to leave their bags, leave their clothes, charge our phones, relax, hangout and it’s just a nice warm, safe space.
Real RVers Living Their Dreams
I love the freedom that an RV gives me as a single female traveler because I’m able to go wherever I want, whenever I want. No permission needed.

We tailgate in comfort: We have TVs to watch the early games and we don’t have to worry about traffic afterward because we hangout and watch the late games.
I think when you love something, you want to share it with those that you love. And I think that the way I was raised, camping was not just about where you went or what you did, it was about who you were with and it was important for me to be able to share that with someone that I love.
Simon and I enjoy mountain biking. Having all my gear ready to go in the RV makes adventurous road trips easy. It’s a fun and convenient way to explore.
