Nebraska

How much space will you need in your Nebraska RV rental? What type of model are you comfortable driving? Since there are many classes of RV rentals in Nebraska, it's wise to do a little research. To make the best decision for your travel goals and space needs, you'll need to determine if you want a motorhome, which is a self-contained unit with a steering wheel at the front, or a towable rig, which requires a separate tow vehicle.

Classes of motorhome rentals in Nebraska include:

• Class A: Being the size of a small bus, this model type offers a lot of space and comfort. Class A motorhomes can fit up to 10 people.
• Class B: Also called campervans, Class B models are much smaller and easier to drive. They can accommodate up to four people.
• Class C: This type of motorhome is the middle ground between the A and B classes. Expect to fit between four and six people in your Class C.

Towable rigs include:

• Pop-up trailers: These lightweight trailers are compact, but they have canvas sides that can be expanded once you get to camp. A pop-up camper rental in Nebraska is a great option for short stays.
• Travel trailers: These units often offer plenty of space and can be quite comfortable. They're comparable to Class A motorhomes.
• Toy haulers: Travel trailers that include a garage or storage space for ATVs, motorbikes or snowmobiles are called toy haulers.
• Fifth-wheel trailers: Fifth wheels can be large and quite luxurious, but you'll need a special tow vehicle with an in-bed hitch.
