What’s New in Motorized RVs

In the fleet of motorized RVs, new designs are following a trend towards the wants of younger buyers. Class B motorhomes, in particular, are increasing in popularity – hence why more versions are available. The younger demographic spends more time on the road and ventures into more remote locations. To this end, 4WD units are being offered, as are all types of Class A, B and C units with significant dry camping abilities. They carry more water, and their solar charging systems charge battery banks, so a week off-grid is easily accomplished.

Electronic offerings, including WiFi, are becoming common inside these units. Have a look at some of the newest motorized offerings from Indiana.
