What kinds of trailers can be divided into?

With the continuous improvement of vehicle technology and the continuous development of tourism in recent years, the share of RV in the domestic market is also increasing. Among them, the trailer-type RV is favored by more and more travel enthusiasts due to its matching with passenger cars and the flexibility of towing.

The scientific name of the trailer-type RV is called "residence trailer", which is a kind of light-duty trailer. A few years ago, it was possible to drive with a C1 driver’s license. However, due to its special structure, there were many controversies at that time. It was not until the introduction of the new driving test regulations that it was clarified that driving a light trailer requires a C6 driver’s license. Of course, there is a premise. That is, the total mass of the front car plus the trailer must be less than 4500kg. If it does not meet the standard, you can only drive with an A2 license.

From the perspective of classification, trailer-type RVs can be mainly divided into three categories: American, European and domestic:

1. American RV

The length of American RVs is generally about 8m or 9m, and some can exceed 12m. The volume is too large. Of course, its own weight is also relatively large. It requires a more powerful tractor, and the fuel consumption is also relatively high. On some roads with limited heights, the trafficability Restrictions may apply.

2. European RV

The design concept of European RVs is different from that of American RVs. They are more inclined to the concept of light weight, low fuel consumption, and ease and freedom. Most of their lengths do not exceed 8.5m. In terms of internal layout, European RVs are smaller and fresher, pursuing refinement and delicacy, paying attention to details and color matching. The furniture is mainly made of multi-layer composite boards with stickers, giving people a sense of elegance and wisdom. The sense of modern technology is relatively strong, which is suitable for young people.

European RVs have a low chassis and a light body, and are compatible with many types of tractors. Generally, cars or SUVs with a capacity of 1.6L or more are suitable. Of course, if the low chassis encounters potholes and uneven roads, the passability may be affected, and the space is also slightly weaker than that of American RVs.

3. Domestic RV

Domestic RVs are designed according to the usage habits of Chinese people. The biggest feature is that they are cheap, cost-effective, easy to replace parts, and relatively convenient to maintain.

Domestic RVs started relatively late. Although the necessary equipment and facilities are fairly complete, they are still not as advanced as imported RVs in terms of details or technology.

In addition to the above three categories, according to the different appearance and functions, trailer-type RVs can also be divided into trailer-type A-type RVs, trailer-type B-type RVs, trailer-type C-type RVs, and trailer-type D-type RVs. and mobile villas.
