Class B RVs are van conversions, with varying amenities. Class B+ sometimes used for a huge Class B RV that has slideouts.

| Class C RVs are distinctive in that they are cab over on a truck chassis. They look like a truck camper, but it is one unit. |  |

Travel trailers are self-contained housing units that are towed by cars or trucks, using a hitch. They may be unhooked and left at a campground or storage. |
| 5th wheel trailers are also self-contained, pulled by a truck using a distinctive hitch. |  |

Toy haulers, in travel trailers or 5th wheels are RVs that have a garage for motorcycles, ATVs, even cars.
