[10:11] The RV Culture
- There are different types of RV: Class A, class B, class C, travel trailers, and fifth wheels, among others.
- It is a complex decision because there are so many options.
[11:31] The Criteria
- They wanted to spend as low of a capital outlay as possible.
- Their first concern is they didn’t have a pickup truck to pull the trailer that will fit their criteria.
- They need space to sleep comfortably and cook.
- They need to have a mobile office space.
[14:19] Making the Choice
- Once they had the criteria, they proceeded to find something that had layouts or plans to fit what they needed.
- They started narrowing it down to class A motorhomes. Motorhomes are RVs that have a truck or a motor that you can use to move around.
- They look like big boxes and are built on truck chassis. Class A motorhomes can get up to about 45 feet.
- The class Cs are smaller types that can be as small as 23 to 25 feet.
- Class B or sprinter vans look like a big van that you can move in and out of things and drive easier.
