Motorhome
A motorhome is the entire package - vehicle and living quarters - all wrapped up into one unit. The size of these RVs vary widely depending on their class: Class A units are large, bus-like motorhomes, Class B units are compact vans for 1-2 people, and Class C units sleep 2-4 people. Ideal for long trips, motorhomes don't require a truck for towing.
Pros
Wide range of styles and prices
Driving and living areas are connected for on-the-go convenience
Single-unit design means no towing vehicle necessary
Travel Trailer
This is the most common type of RV and comes in such a massive range of styles, layouts and sizes that there is truly a model for everyone. Whether large, luxurious, or lightweight, they require a towing hitch on your truck or SUV. Most offer comfortable amenities like sleeping areas, kitchens, toilets, heating, cooling, and storage. Always be sure to check your vehicle’s towing capacity.
Pros
Sizes, layouts and weights are virtually limitless
Larger trailers can be parked at campsites for long term use
Onboard amenities make travel trailers comfortable living spaces

Fifth Wheel
Another unique unit, fifth wheels, are recognizable by their upper area, which juts over a truck bed and a large attached trailer.

Gooseneck hitch provides easy maneuverability and secure towing
