Important Things to Note When Buying a New RV

Planning to go on a family outing but do not want to spend the time in the luxury hotel and want your home with you. Then a RV (Recreational Vehicle) is the way to go, these vehicles typically comprise of basically all the main parts of a house such as the bathrooms, bedroom, kitchen and a living room. There are several kinds of RVs and each one is generally termed by a different word. For example people in Asian countries call it a motor home, whilst others call it camper van or a mobile home etc.

There are basically two types of RVs based on their usages one being the use as in mobile offices and the other being the use as travelling ‘permanent’ homes. Mobile homes are normally parked in the specialised camping sites and trailer parks where they have sufficient facilities for plumbing and other needs of the vehicles. By definition a RV is any vehicle which includes a kitchenette, bedroom, living area and a bathroom. These vehicles could be classified into their respective classes according to their respective comfort levels.  For instance fifth wheel trailers, travel trailers popup trailers which are towed behind other cars and SUVs are also types of RVs or Recreational Vehicles.

When comparing the early camping vehicles with those available today the main different between these two are that those were used for practical purposes more than recreational, as they are used nowadays. As they were mainly used as a means of shelter when travelling long distances in order to find an employer or go to a new place or abode. During the year 1810 in France, wagons were made for people to live inside and to transport goods as well and these were made use of in England by circus performers and showmen from the early 1820s onwards. However the gypsies started to live in these vehicles only after the late 1850s.

This industry of Recreational vehicles had a major throughput in the US during the time of the late 1920s and early 1930s, since several different companies began manufacturing these vehicles for commercial usage. The term used for such vehicles at that time was house trailers or sometimes trailer coaches were used, and they were commonly started being built in different peoples own garages! A common name of these vehicles was Air Stream which was only 30 feet in length and due to this compact size it was easy to be transported to other locations as well. Later in the 1950s there was a major separation of these two which thereafter became to be known as the mobile home and started being produced in larger industries. This sums up yet a brief history of recreational vehicles and how they actually helped in the development of the overall mobile homes and trailers and camper vans which we use today for travel and leisure for several different purposes ranging from business travel to personal holiday trips alike. This has played a major role in our overall lifestyle as well.
