How To Choose A Towable RV

Towable RV

Towable recreational vehicles are those that can be hitched to a truck and hauled. Many casual travelers love the option to drop the trailer and use the tow vehicle freely. There are many styles and options when it comes to towable RVs.

Fifth Wheel

Fifth-wheel campers are the largest towable RV options that mimic the luxury of Class A motorhomes. The raised “gooseneck” front end extends over the back of the truck bed, offering a bi-level, additional living space. For heavy-duty truck owners, fifth-wheel campers are an excellent option for adventuring with the entire family.

Travel Trailer

Travel trailers are what most people think of when they think about campers. Travel trailers come in almost every size and amenity imaginable. Travel trailers can range from nothing more than a small kitchenette and bed hauled behind a truck or as vast as a 35-foot luxury trailer that resembles a residential home. Travel trailers are hitched to the back of a truck, which can make it a little more difficult for the novice driver to tow.

Truck Camper

Truck campers are not so much towable RVs because they are fully mounted on the bed of a standard pickup truck. Truck campers are great for the casual campers who need a place to sleep and storage for some home amenities but are not searching for the comforts of home. Truck campers do not require any special equipment, other than a truck.

Toy Haulers

Toy haulers are part motorhome, part garage, part living space. Many of the toy haulers available feature some living amenities that fold up to make space for toys — race car, motorcycle, dirt bike, ATV, jet skis, kayaks, canoes, rafts, bikes, etc. Toy haulers don’t offer the full range of living space or amenities offered by other options but do offer a place to sleep and space to bring your other recreational vehicles and safely store them.
