How to Compare RV Manufacturers

There are approximately 140 manufacturers of recreational vehicles in the United States, producing motor homes, conventional travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, truck campers, sport utility RVs, expandable travel trailers and folding camping trailers. Attending an RV retail show is one of the best ways to compare RVs and RV manufacturers. The Go RVing coalition, a collection of manufacturers, component suppliers, dealers and campgrounds, has a website with the most comprehensive list of shows.
