St. George, Utah

When people think of renting a recreational vehicle, they sometimes assume that motorhomes are all that’s available. As you’ll see on RVshare, you have many options beyond just motorhome rentals in St. George. In order to choose, it helps to know something about how RVs are classified. 

Motorhomes are a type of drivable RV. There are also RVs you can’t drive because they don’t have their own motors. These are called towable RVs. Beyond this crucial distinction, RVs also vary in spaciousness and ease of handling. Roomier RVs tend to have more creature comforts and allow you to bring larger travel parties along on your RV adventure. Also, towable RVs should be considered for rental only if you have access to a vehicle with the necessary towing capacity.

Drivable RVs range in size from large Class A vehicles through midsized Class C RVs to compact Class B campers. Towable RVs vary from ample, amenity-laden trailers to small foldable trailers. Class A motorhomes and fifth-wheel trailers sometimes rival small apartments in their roominess and luxury. Class C RVs are smaller than Class A vehicles and handle like trucks while Class B RVs resemble large vans. Toy hauler trailers, named because they contain a garage space for hauling toys like dirt bikes and surfboards, can be towed by pickup trucks. Some pop-up camper rentals in St. George are so lightweight that they can be towed with a passenger vehicle, although you should check your owner’s manual first.
