Find the right RV for your style
While there are plenty of variations, RVs can be categorized as two basic types: Standard RVs and RV Trailers.
Standard RVs are typically larger, and the driving compartment and accommodations are all encompassed in one vehicle.
RV trailers are accommodations that are towed behind a separate vehicle. When looking into RV trailers, make sure you know what kind of tow vehicle you will need. Depending on the size of the trailer, you may need a more powerful tow vehicle, for instance a larger truck or SUV with at least 3,000 lbs. towing capacity.
TIP: If you’re new to RVs and campers, just let the friendly staff at your MWR Outdoor Equipment Rental know and they’ll gladly walk you through you the basics on wastewater drainage, connecting to the electrical grid at campsites, basic maintenance, and any other questions you may have.
