6. Living Space

RVs typically have more living space than travel trailers. This is especially true of fifth wheels which often have large slide-outs that really open up the interior.

7. Setting Up  Camp

RVs can be parked and set up at a campsite without having to do much else. Travel trailers need to be unhitched from the tow vehicle and often leveled before they can be used.
