1. What is the total wattage required?

​

2. Which type of fuel is needed to run the generator?

​

3. A generator will be used in which type of RV?

​

When we talk about the type of RV, there are several types to choose from.

​

The biggest among them are Class A motorhomes and they are just like driving an eighteen-wheeler on the road but with a good living space inside.

​

Next comes the truck campers which fit inside the bed of a huge pickup truck comfortably. The camper will pitch out on the top of the truck cab often with a sleeping bed.

​

Then comes Class C motorhomes or mini motor homes. These are very small when compared to type A motorhomes. They are between twenty to thirty feet and are like a moving truck to be true about their size.

​

Then comes the Fifth wheels. These are nothing but the towable campers that need a bigger truck to pull the heavy trailer. This will demand a fifth wheel hitch to be mounted in the bed of the truck on the rear axle for hauling it.

​

A pop-up trailer or a folding trailer which can be pulled behind a small SUV or even a car. These can be stretched out into a larger camper and then folded again to make a towable, small trailer with low height needs.
