There are three main types of travel trailers: pop-ups, fifth wheel, and travel trailers. Pop-ups are campers that are a cheaper option. Depending on the size they can be put into the bed of a truck of pulled behind a vehicle. They fold flat to allow for easier transportation. Often-times this is the top choice for small families that like to camp and go on trips. Fifth wheels need to be hitched in the bed of a heavy duty truck and can almost as large as you wish. These allow for more luxurious travel and can provide more space. Travel trailers are smaller and can be pulled behind heavy duty cars or larger vehicles. These are quite similar to fifth wheels put smaller.
There are three main types of motorhomes that are available: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A motorhomes are the biggest motor homes available. They have the ability to pull a car behind them and seem more like a small home than a vehicle. Class B motorhomes are slightly smaller than Class A vehicles and get the best gas-mileage. They are also build on van chassis while Class A's are built on bus chassis. Class C motorhomes are built on truck chassis and are commonly used as family vacation vehicles. They are the smallest option and have a bed that is usually located above the driver and passenger seats. If you are definitely interested in a motor home you will need to look more into these three types to determine which one you are most interested in and will best fit your needs.
Once you decide which type of travel trailer or motorhome you are going to get you need to make sure you get the best financing around. Check with your bank once you decide which type of vehicle you are going to purchase. See if you bank will offer a loan for the purchase. Often, banks will only offer loans for the larger motorhomes or trailers so it is a good idea to check first. Then take that offer into account and talk will the sales people that are selling you the trailer. Ask them what type of travel trailer financing they offer and find out what will be best for you.
Overall the best idea is to think ahead and know exactly what you are going to do. If you do this you will be able to shop around for the best financing available and ensure that you are going to get the best deal. If you are unsure until you make the purchase you may be more easily jump into a bad deal.
