Whether you want a motorhome to live in permanently or to use for your vacations, there are thousands of vehicles to choose from.
Motorhomes, also called RVs or Recreational Vehicles come in three Classes.
Class A Motorhomes are the largest, most luxurious and expensive. They are shaped like a bus with a flat front, are rarely shorter than 25ft long and can be as long as 40ft. They can weigh from 15,000 to 30,000 lbs and are often constructed on a custom 3-10 ton truck chassis.
They include all modern conveniences – kitchen, bathroom, fresh water, gas, air conditioning, and a full range of appliances and entertainment equipment. They can often sleep up to eight people in comfort and have their own 100-125 volt electricity supply.
Low-end model start at over $50,000 while a more luxurious model could cost from $300,000 upwards.
Class B Motorhomes are also known as van conversions and are built on a van chassis with an extra compartment over the van cab for sleeping. They usually sleep from two to four people. They are typically 17-20ft 
long and, while not as luxurious as the Class A vehicles, they usually have all the facilities you need on holiday – cooking, gas, electric, shower, fresh water, refrigeration and heating.
They have two advantages – cost and versatility. Being smaller, they cost less – typically from $40,000 upwards – and manoeuvre easier. They can also be used as a second car when not on vacation.
Class C Motorhomes are smaller versions of Class A Motorhomes. They’re built on a van chassis with a sleeping area over the cab and usually a bedroom at the rear. They are typically 20ft to over 35ft in length and weigh from 10,000 to 15,000 lbs.
Like Class A vehicles, they have an excellent range of facilities – cooking facilities, toilet, bathroom, gas, electric, air conditioning and so on. With convertible beds, some can sleep up to 10 people. Cost can range from $50,000 to over $100,000.
Slide Outs
A popular feature in Class A and C Motorhomes is the Slide Out. At the touch of a button, a Slide Out will extend a section of the wall to increase your living space.
Towable RVs
As their name suggests, these are motorhomes without the motor and can range in size from a one-bedroom unit to a 35ft Class A equivalent. Many include a Slide Out.
Their advantages are that they are cheaper and you can park them and use your main vehicle for shopping and sight-seeing. Prices can range from $10,000 to $100,000 and more.
