Arizona

The spectacular natural beauty in Arizona is more than enough to entertain you and keep you coming back for years. RV rentals in Arizona make it possible for you to travel in comfort while taking your time to do the things that interest you. Here’s a brief explanation of the different RV classes to get you started. 

• Class A: Large and furnished with state-of-the-art amenities, these RVs provide the epitome of luxury on the road. However, it can be a challenge to maneuver if you aren't used to driving a large bus.
• Class B: Also referred to as camper rentals in Arizona, these are the smallest of the three RV classes. They come with the basics, like a sink, toilet, and shower, and they are easy to drive and fuel-efficient. 
• Class C: This type is the most common type of RV you see on the road. They are popular because they are fairly easy to drive despite their size, and they have more space than Class B motorhome rentals in Arizona.

Towable trailers are popular RV options. Most trailers can be pulled by an SUV. The fifth wheel is the only model that requires a flatbed truck for towing because it uses a special hitch. A pop-up camper rental in Arizona is light, and as the name implies, they will expand, or pop up, when you set up camp. Toy haulers are great to have when you want to take a snowmobile or ATV with you on your road trip.
