Travel trailers can be both affordable and expensive, with varying amenities. Like pop-ups, travel trailers are defined by its ability to be towed via a traditional hitch. This type of camper trailer is the largest you can find before leaving the tow-behind category. Fifth wheels are usually at least feet long but can be as long as 40 feet. In regards to size, comfort, amenities, and sleeping space, fifth wheels offer the same as some of the biggest motorhomes.
Unlike other types of camper trailers, however, fifth wheels can only be towed using a specifically fitted hitch , on certain pickups and full-size trucks. The hitch is coupled to a u-shaped mechanism on the truck bed, which makes the front of the trailer extend over the bed of the truck. A Class B RV is the smallest option for a fully-motorized recreational vehicle.
This class is typically between 18 and 24 feet and offers the most basic of space and storage. However, they do offer all the comforts of home — and more! They have oodles of storage and plenty of payload to cope, may have as many as ten berths sleeping places , a proper kitchen and even a bath. Some have fitted washing machines, too! There are smaller RVs: B-class are more the size of coach-built motorhomes and C-class ones come between A and B in size.

A pop-up camper, also known as a PUP is a camper that folds down while in transit. This type of camper is easier to tow than the other types of campers and can be extended to provide the same amount of interior space upon its arrival at its destination.
Most pop-up campers have walls that are made of canvas but you can find hard-sided pop-up campers. Some examples of hard-sided pop-ups are the Trail Manor camper and the Hi-Lo camper.
In most cases, the roof will be lifted with struts or springs and each of its four walls will be lifted into place underneath of the roof. These types of campers can provide a lot of interior headroom when folded out and can provide a very low platform for towing while folded up. Some examples of foldable campers are the A-liner and the Gobur folding caravan, and hi lo campers.
A foldable camper is great for touring or for frequent travels where tow-ability is a major concern. However, people looking to buy campers that will sit in one place for months at a time will usually opt for a trailer that does not fold as folding caravans are typically not as well insulated. This type of RV can be built with full-time travel in mind or it can be built as a weekend getaway vehicle.
