Purpose of this Blog is to provide the information necessary to be properly informed about Trailer Vehicles of different types, such as recreational vehicles (RVs), noncommercial recreational trailers, ‘fifth-wheel’ trailers including livestock trailers, and motorcycle trailers and others.

TrailersPlusHitches.com will concentrate on the information required to safely drive these type vehicles.

People are realizing that a recreational vehicle is a mobile living experience.

Types of trailer vehicles that fall under this type are motor homes, campers; and, even van conversions can offer a living style for traveling.

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in each state is concerned with the safe operation of RVs, recreational trailers, and all other trailers.

Most drivers have experience in driving passenger vehicles; yet, handling an RV or trailer handles very differently.

Some of the most noticeable driving differences of trailers versus cars are restricted vision and added braking times.

Additional differences include bridge heights, buildings with low canopies, space requirement needs, increased following distances, increased turning radiuses, and more space needed for lane changes.
