Motorhomes are classified according to size and purpose. Class A motorhomes are the largest types of RVs and can sometimes resemble a small house. These RVs can be simply outfitted or filled with customized amenities, but they are all spacious and have all the room you need for a large group of passengers. Class C RVs are the next size down. They are still quite roomy, though, and usually have two separate sleeping areas and a separate bath area. Motorhome rentals in Myrtle Beach are easy to find on RVshare.

Class B RVs are campervans, which are basically vans that double as campers. Campervans are very convenient because they can be easily parked and moved. Often, they have custom fittings.

Towable trailers can be different sizes and are pulled behind a vehicle. A fifth wheel is the largest towable motorhome and is called a fifth wheel because it partially fits over the bed of a truck.
