Choosing the Right RV Size

When you shop for an RV, it’s crucial to consider all of the options. While there are many different factors, size is definitely an important part of your buying decision. Our team at MIG RV has put together a helpful guide for understanding the different RV sizes and how to determine which is right for you. 

RV Categories

As you proceed through the shopping process, it’s helpful to understand how RVs are categorized. There are two main categories to look for: towable and drivable RVs. Towable RVs rely on being moved by a tow vehicle, generally a pickup truck or SUV. Drivable RVs, on the other hand, have a drivetrain and don’t require another vehicle for transportation. 

Size by Weight and Length

As you decide what RV size would be suitable for you, remember to consider both the weight and length of the model. These two factors are important for two things: your tow vehicle and where you like to camp. 

If you decide a towable RV is the better choice for you, then you’ll especially need to consider the weight and size of the model and how well your tow vehicle can accommodate it. It’s extremely important to know your vehicle’s towing capacity. 

Whether or not you choose a towable RV, it’s also necessary to think about the areas you like to camp. Some parks can only accommodate certain RV lengths and weights! So, when you make your decision, it’s really important to think ahead about your travels.
