First, where are you going? If you will will be staying at an RV park with hook ups (ie. water, sewer, electricity etc.) you have fewer limitations as to the motorhome you should take. Whereas, without hook ups you may want to consider a Class A. Class A's have larger fresh water capacity, holding tanks and greater battery capacity for extended dry camping. Although Class C's and Class A's are both self contained, you will need to take on fresh water, empty your holding tanks and charge your batteries more frequently with a Class C due to the reduced capacities.

Another concern is the number of people that will be traveling. If you will need sleeping arrangements for all of the people in your party, you will have limitations in this respect. Most of our motorhomes sleep up to six people (with three beds) and others that will sleep up to eight people (with four beds). With more than eight people you will not only have sleeping limitations, you may also have limitations regarding places for everyone to sit. In these cases, you may need to consider a second motorhome, or renting a trailer with sleeping capacity up to 9 people. Trailers do require a sufficent size vehicle to tow with.

Some motorhomes do not have fixed beds. This means that each time you need a bed, you might have to convert a couch or a dinette into a bed. A fixed bed can be found in both Class C's and Class A's, based on floorplan and size.Many people feel that it is easier to drive a Class C. However, both classes are the same width and nearly the same height. The only difference is in the length. Most people who have driven both prefer to drive the Class A's because they sit higher and give a better view of the road. Neither require a special class of driver's license and both are simple to drive with a little instruction and a short time behind the wheel.

If you will be driving a long distance and want the convenience of not having to stop often, you may want a Class A. They usually have a larger gas tank to reduce the number of fill ups.

If you need to bring along a lot of gear, you may want to consider a Class A due to the increased storage areas under the motorhome.

Travel trailers allow you the flexibility of leaving the trailer at your camp site and having your tow vehicle to run around town in. Because they have no mileage charges, they are a good choice for longer driving trips.

In generalities, the larger the motorhome is, the more space and comfort you are going to have. However, with the increased size comes a new set of concerns such as where you can park it, which campgrounds you can go to and increased rental costs.

There are some things that you should not have to consider. For instance, both types of motorhomes will have power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission and cruise control, microwaves, water heaters, fridge, etc.

Travel Trailers are a great way to take a vacation if you are staying longer at your stops. Base camping is a great way to secure your campsite and then use your vehicle to explore the area without having the trailer attached. Trailers are a less expensive way to travel long distances as well, simply because you do not have any mileage charges to worry about.

Tow vehicles must be equipped with Class III receiver hitch, electric trailer brake, Ball mount, 7-way wiring, and at least a ½ ton chassis. If you do not have a tow vehicle, you may be able to rent a tow vehicle already equipped for towing. Click here to rent a tow vehicle in Salt Lake City
