Campervans (VW Campers)
These iconic Volkswagen campervans are still being produced today and have a dedicated following, with a range of clubs and magazines available to enthusiasts.

Campers will generally sleep between 2 and 4 comfortably but are small enough to be driven in cities as well as on the open road, making them famously popular for touring around Europe.

They are available with a huge range of features including raising roofs, windscreen sun visors, surfboard roof racks and chrome trims and fittings – either direct from Volkswagen or through a number of specialist converters.

When it comes to insurance for older models, you may have to consider a ‘classic’ vehicle policy as many specialist motorhome policies have a vehicle age limit

Van conversions
Often referred to as panel van conversions, these medium to large sized motorhomes are built using well known commercial vehicles as a base unit and nearly always feature a sliding side door.

They offer a good amount of space inside and many come with roomy wash rooms and better equipped kitchens than the smaller or micro-sized van conversions.

Many have a double bed at the rear, running across the width of the van, so taller motorhomers may struggle to fit. For this reason it’s important to check the layout and dimensions of the van before buying.

Popular manufacturers of van conversions include: Autosleepers, Bilbo, IH Motorhomes and Murvi

Conventional coachbuilt motorhomes
These are possibly the most common type of motorhome on British roads, and are characterised by their large over-cab hump which often houses a bed or spacious storage area.

These motorhomes are popular as they offer a practical solution for small families or couples wanting to travel throughout the UK and Europe. They typically have a washroom and kitchen fitted as standard, along with room to sleep between 2 and 6 people.

The front end cabs of coachbuilt motorhomes may look familiar – that’s because the ‘base vehicle’ of such motorhomes are popular vans such as Ford Transits, Peugeot Boxers, Fiat Ducatos and Mercedes Spinters.

Popular manufacturers of conventional coachbuilt motorhomes include: Autocruise, Autosleeper, Elddis and Swift

Low profile coachbuilt motorhomes
Very similar in style and features to the above ‘conventional coachbuilt motorhome’ the low profile design does away with the over cab bed in favour of a lower roof and streamlined shape, this gives better clearance and more car like handling.

Tag axle (twin axle) motorhomes
Some very large coachbuilt motorhomes require a third set of wheels to support the weight and length of the unit in a similar way to a ‘twin axle’ caravan, this third axle is know as a ‘tag axle’.

Tag axle motorhomes allow even more space inside but the twin rear axle means that driving them may take a little adjusting to.

A-class motorhomes
These often very large motorhomes are recognizable by having no separate cab area as common with conventional coachbuilt motorhomes, as well as a ‘bus like’ large front windscreen, and are usually imported from Europe or further afield.

Built from scratch on a bare chassis by the motorhome manufacturer you can expect bags of room and home comforts including domestic style washrooms and kitchen fixtures, as well as full sized beds and spacious living areas.

Popular manufacturers of A-class motorhomes include: Frankia, Pilote and Hymer

American ‘Recreational Vehicles’ (RVs)
Coming from the USA these units are typically big, bold and brash – but can offer massive amounts of space, comfort and features including full sized refrigerators and ovens as well as king sized beds and washrooms with domestic spec fittings. Many even feature ‘slide outs’ – which mean certain sections of the motorhome can be extended to create extra floor space.

Typically used for long tours or full timing around Europe or the US these huge units are unrivalled when it comes to luxury and comfort.

Popular manufacturers of American RV motorhomes include: Georgie Bay and Winnebago

Home built motorhomes
Some enthusiasts design and build a motorhome themselves to suit their needs. These can range from simple van conversions up to impressive custom builds and there are a range of websites and clubs dedicated to self builds that provide helpful info for any would be DIYers.

Watch out though as many insurance companies cannot provide cover for home built motorhomes.

Micro motorhomes
These tiny motorhomes are usually conversions of small van style cars and offer limited space for one or two people to sleep, as well as basic cooking equipment and space for a small cassette toilet.

Their diminutive size makes them a breeze to drive, particularly in typically crowded European towns where narrow streets and busy roads make the city centre a no go area for all but these nippy little motorhomes.

Popular manufacturers of micro motorhomes include: Romahome and Drivelodge

It’s important to know that owning an RV is not only expensive but it is also time consuming and a lot of work has to go into it. However, owning an RV can be an exciting and rewarding experience if you are well aware of what daily, monthly and yearly maintenance needs to be put in to your vehicle. We’ve discovered a few misconception that people have about mobile RV repair and will discuss them here.

1. My RV is New! It Won’t Need to be Repaired for a While.

The first misconception that people have when they buy an RV is that it will not have any problems when it is new. This is simply not the case.  Recreational vehicles average about 6 months in the shop during their first year out. This is not a knock to the manufacturing company, this is simply due to the fact that it takes a while for such a large vehicle to get all the bugs worked out. Each coach is different and, based on the type of use it goes through, it will need certain fixes and upgrades, especially during the first year.

2. A Blowout Only Destroys My RV Tires

One area in which some RV owners are misinformed is in regards to RV tires. An RV’s tires are super important for the integrity of the vehicle. A blowout in an RV can cause major problems and not just to the tire and wheel. Because of the sheer weight and size of the vehicle, when an RV tire blows it usually damages surrounding areas of the vehicle including molding around the wheel well and oftentimes water tanks and valves located near the wheel. This type of damage can get expensive quickly so it’s important to ensure you are using the right tires and that they are in good condition before venturing off in your RV

3. RV Windshields and Car Windshields are the Same

Another misconception involves RV windshields. The windshield on an RV is not like a normal car windshield. RV Windshields are actually engineered as part of the front end structure of the vehicle. This is not like a normal piece of glass that a car windshield resembles. If it is not done correctly, the whole vehicle will not be balanced as it should. It is important to have a seasoned specialist do the job for you.

4. Carpet is More Popular than Wood Flooring

Some people view carpet as a luxury item in an RV. You may think that if you want comfort, you’ll go with carpet in your RV to make it feel more like a home. You may not realize that trends are shifting more towards wood floors for recreational vehicles. Wood floors are easier to clean, last longer, and give a sense of style and natural beauty to an RV. When deciding on what type of flooring will best fit your wants and needs, you should speak with a qualified professional beforehand to discuss options for your specific make and model.

5. Upgrading Your Entertainment Center Will Limit Space in Your RV

Finally, the last misconception about RV repair involves your entertainment center. Many owners think that upgrading to a larger TV will take up more space in their RV and limit the amount of storage or living space in already tight quarters. However, in most cases, upgrading to a larger “flat screen” tv can actually save you space. Older TVs take up a ton of space. By remodeling the cabinetry around a new flat screen TV, you will have the new big screen you want with extra space for storage.

Question by tyliebug: What is the difference between a Toy Hauler and Travel Trailer?

Best answer:

Answer by Kris B
A toy hauler is just a trailer with a ramp for stuff: bikes, quads, etc.

A travel trailer is a camper trailer. It has bunks, a kitchen, etc. It’s a living space, whereas a toy hauler is pretty much just a box on wheels.
