Most rental companies offer roadside assistance that is available 24/7 by ringing a local or free number. Mechanical breakdowns are covered by the rental company (for example, engine and electrical faults). With many suppliers, repairs under $50 (US dollars) do not require authorization and will be reimbursed upon return of the rental (with a receipt), however, it’s still recommended to ring roadside assistance for any troubles.

A wide variety of campers are available in the US, from smaller station wagons up to large motorhomes. Some of the common types include:

• Class A: (21-45 ft) The biggest and most expensive, can be hard to maneuver if you are new to driving motorhomes but often comes equipped with additional luxuries.

Class A motorhomes are built on either a vehicle chassis, commercial truck chassis, or a commercial bus chassis, and run on either diesel or gas, depending on the type of engine.

Usually, Class A vehicles are fully loaded with all amenities and a large living space.

• Class B: (17-19 ft) Small and affordable, easier to drive or maneuver. Class B vehicles are often known as conversion vans and are built on a smaller chassis to the Class A.

Some class B vehicles may include a toilet or freshwater tanks but not always. Class B vehicles usually have basic cooking equipment, folding beds, and limited storage space.

Class B vehicles are great for short term getaways.

• Class C: (30-33 ft) Medium-sized, moderate storage space, and a few extra luxuries.

Class C vehicles are a smaller version of the Class A motorhome. They are built on a truck or van cutaway chassis and operate on a gas-powered engine.

The Class C motorhome generally has sleeping quarters above the cab and more sleeping space in the back. Some Class Cs also have a slide-out option that helps increase the living space when the motorhome is parked.

Class C vehicles come equipped with a good amount of facilities including a self-contained toilet, refrigerator, heating or AC and cooking facilities.

Class C vehicles are very versatile and are great for both short or long term getaways.
