Hit the road in these tricked-out RVs and campers

First, a little RV education: Class A motorhomes resemble tour buses and are usually the largest type of recreational vehicles. The RV is built directly on a truck chassis containing the drivetrain and suspension and the driving controls are integrated into the living area. They may also feature sliding sections thar allow you to enlarge the living room areas and bedroom when parked.

Class C RVs can also be large but are easily identifiable by their separate truck or RV cabs. Inside the living area, will usually find a sleeping bunk over the cab.

Class B motorhomes occupy the middle ground between Class and B vehicles. The driver's area is integrated into the living space like in a Class A RV but the vehicle is built on a panel van chassis, making for a smaller footprint and an easier driving experience for RV newbies. However, Class Bs still offer many of the same amenities as their larger siblings, such as kitchens, bathrooms and overhead air conditioning.

Now that you know the lingo, it's time to move on to the RV eye candy.
