In reality though the vehicles themselves are simple. They\u2019re mostly based on commercial vans which have been converted to be lived in. They have a bed, cooking hob and a cool box as the bare minimum, but often have more luxurious features like a wet room, windows and skylights, fridge\/freezer, sofas, table, TV and internet system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are motorhomes and campervans the same thing? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Erm, yes and no. Many folks use the terms interchangeably. Generally when someone talks about a camper van though, they are referring to a iconic classic VW camper or a newer Panel Van Conversion (PVC) like the ones below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campervans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Campervans.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Campervans.png\" alt=\"Pop Top Panel Van Conversion Campervans\" class=\"wp-image-42215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Campervans.png 508w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Campervans-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>&#8216;Pop-Top&#8217; Panel Van Conversion Campervans<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Panel vans retain the original van\u2019s cab, walls, side and rear doors, with holes cut for windows, heating vents, skylights and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some panel vans have the roof cut off and a higher one fitted (high tops). This allows you to stand up inside which makes them more comfortable to cook in, shower and move around. Some have a roof which you can lift when you\u2019re parked (pop tops, like those shown above). This helps to keep them low enough to get under car park height barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PVCs are also sometimes referred to as &#8216;day vans&#8217; as they are typically used for short-term trips. That said, you can use your van any way which suits you. We&#8217;ve met a family of two adults and two children touring Europe for months in a small VW van.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PVCs come in larger versions too, like the rugged Mercedes pictured below. These tend to include a wet room and toilet and more likely to be referred to as motorhomes. Our first camper, which we called <a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/harvey-sold\/\">Harvey the RV, was a high top camper based on a Talbot Express base<\/a>. He contained a shower and toilet, but we had to make the beds up every night. We knew this wouldn&#8217;t work for us on a long term tour, so we switched to a Hymer B544 motorhome with a drop down bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Large-Panel-Van-Conversion.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"518\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Large-Panel-Van-Conversion.png\" alt=\"Large Panel Van Conversion Campervan\" class=\"wp-image-42216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Large-Panel-Van-Conversion.png 518w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Large-Panel-Van-Conversion-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Large Panel Van Conversion Campervan<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Motorhome Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us think of motorhomes as big white boxes like the one below (which happens to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=t1IC2BxtZVY\">our Hymer B544 \u2013 have a look around inside<\/a>). This motorhome belongs to the A Class category. This means it doesn\u2019t have the original van\u2019s cab, and instead has a new one dropped in place which is the full width of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-class-motorhome.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"517\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-class-motorhome.png\" alt=\"A Class Motorhome from Hymer\" class=\"wp-image-42217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-class-motorhome.png 517w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/A-class-motorhome-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Our A Class Hymer Motorhome<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The other main type of motorhome is the C Class or Coachbuilt, which has the van\u2019s original cab, including the standard van\u2019s windscreen and cab doors. The example C Class motorhome below has the roof lifted in a \u2018quiff\u2019 making room for an overcab bed, a design called a Luton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/C-class-motorhome.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"517\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/C-class-motorhome.png\" alt=\"C Class Motorhomer\" class=\"wp-image-42218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/C-class-motorhome.png 517w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/C-class-motorhome-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 517px) 100vw, 517px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>C Class motorhome with a &#8216;quiff&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>C Class vans without this roof bulge are called Low Profiles, like the one below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Profile-C-class-motorhome.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"529\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Profile-C-class-motorhome.png\" alt=\"Low Profile C Class Motorhome\" class=\"wp-image-42219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Profile-C-class-motorhome.png 529w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Low-Profile-C-class-motorhome-300x185.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Low Profile C Class Motorhome<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering what happened to B Class by the way, join the club. In the USA panel vans are referred to as B Class vans, but not here in the UK. We\u2019ve no idea why not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s a whole bunch of other types of \u2018van\u2019, from the compact Romahome, to towed \u2018fifth wheelers\u2019 to huge expedition vehicles like the MAN-based truck below which we met in Morocco. Even over in North Africa most people travel in A Class, C Class and PVCs, but if another type of van takes your fancy, go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/expedition-vehicle.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/expedition-vehicle.png\" alt=\"MAN Expedition Vehicle in Morocco\" class=\"wp-image-42222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/expedition-vehicle.png 533w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/expedition-vehicle-300x194.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>MAN Expedition Vehicle<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, there\u2019s the good old RV, which stands for Recreational Vehicle. These vans are mostly found in North America but there are a few knocking around the British Isles. Some have \u2018slide outs\u2019, where a section of the side of the van extends when they\u2019re parked up, making the space inside much bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RV.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"515\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RV.png\" alt=\"Four Winds RV Motorhomer\" class=\"wp-image-42223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RV.png 515w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/RV-300x184.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>An Recreational Vehicle (RV) with slide out sides<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see motorhomes and campervans come in so many shapes and sizes, so you are bound to find one to suit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"291\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler-1030x291.png\" alt=\"Romahome motorhome and fifth wheeler\" class=\"wp-image-42221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler-1030x291.png 1030w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler-300x85.png 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler-768x217.png 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler-1536x433.png 1536w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler-1500x423.png 1500w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler-705x199.png 705w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Romahome-and-Fifth-Wheeler.png 1836w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>From the small Romahome to a huge Fifth Wheeler, there&#8217;s a motorhome or campervan to suit everyone<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>New to motorhome life,<br>planning your own motorhome adventure or<br>looking for the perfect gift for the motorhomer in your life?<\/strong><br>Check out our&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/motorhome-and-campervan-books\/\">OurTour range of books<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/motorhome-and-campervan-books\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/All-OurTour-Motorhome-Guide-Books-With-Text-Bars.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look at the different types of motorhome and campervan available from A Class and Campers to RVs and Fifth Wheelers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":42214,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[531],"tags":[1776,1777,467,469,1779,134,1778,471],"class_list":["post-42212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-choose-your-motorhome","tag-a-class-motorhome","tag-c-class-motorhome","tag-camper","tag-campervan","tag-fifth-wheeler","tag-motorhome","tag-panel-van-conversion","tag-rv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
