At Dave Arbogast RV and Boat Depot we are proud to offer a full range of Boats and RVs.  We also welcome any/all Trade-Ins on any of our fine Boats and RVs.

Often this vast selection can become rather overwhelming and our Professional Sales Staff is eager to be of assistance.  Boats and RVs come in a variety of Classes and the first step is always determining what class best suits YOUR needs and wants:

 

	Class A RVs are the largest of the RVs and tend to look "bus like" in appearance.  These Class A Motorhomes are broken down further into two sub-classes being Gas and Diesel (motors) - the Diesel Motor homes are often referred to as Diesel Pushers for the fact that the engine is typically located in the rear portion of the RV.
	Class B RVs tend to be the smaller of the Motorhomes and are traditionally built on a standard van chassis.  Class B Motorhomes offer all the amenities of a Motor home for those who may be uncomfortable with driving, parking or storing a much larger RV.
	Class C RVs can sometimes be thought of as a cross between a Class A and a Class B.  The nose, or driving cabin, of a Class C is that of a van, however it is then is followed by a "cut away" portion that is replaced with a box like structure that houses the living quarters of the RV.  This allows for more more space traditionally limited by the confines of a Class B, but still usually smaller and more affordable than a Class A.
	Travel Trailers are the most common towable RV.  Absent of a power train, the Travel Trailer RV is dependant on vehicle to move it from point A to point B.  With the advent of the Ultra-Light Travel Trailers, some can even be towed by a bumper hitch of a large sedan or half-ton pick-up truck.  Larger Travel Trailers must depend on 3/4 ton or larger trucks to get around and even larger are sometimes referred to as "Park Models" that typically are parked in one location for long periods of time and in the rare event they need moved is done by a truck more commercial in nature.
	Fifth-Wheels are very similar to Travel Trailers, except for the fact that they are towed on a larger hitch located in the bed of a pick-up rather than the bumper.  These RVs tend to be on the larger side of Trailers and compensates for the extra weight by moving the hitch from the bumper to directly of the rear axle of the towing vehicle - this allows for more stability.
	Toy Haulers are a specialty RVs that that actually have a "garage" like storage in the rear quarters for the likes of motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs and some even large enough to carry an full size automobile.  A ramp in the back allows for easy loading and unloading of such vehicles with traditional living quarters found in the front of the RV.

Once the type of RV is determined, you can begin to discover the many of models and options that cater to your recreational experience.  If at anytime you have any questions along the way, send us an email and we will promptly reply.
