If you\u2019re like many Americans feeling \u201cvacation deprived<\/a>\u201d after a year indoors, traveling the open road in an RV is an attractive option that can fulfill one\u2019s sense of wanderlust and doesn\u2019t require getting on a plane. But whether you\u2019re planning a vacation for the entire family or a cross-country road trip with your closest friends, every great adventure has to start somewhere. And while some road-trippers look to their past<\/a> for travel inspiration, others can always turn to the next best source: the movies.<\/p>\n

NATIONAL LAMPOON\u2019S VACATION: CLASS C<\/h3>\n

Dream of taking the entire family on a cross-country road trip just like the Griswolds? While Clark\u2019s station wagon had its charms, we suggest going with the economic Class C instead. This spacious RV comes equipped with all the amenities and is sure to get the entire family from Chicago to Wally World without leaving you stranded in the desert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PEE-WEE\u2019S BIG ADVENTURE: TRUCK CAMPER<\/h3>\n

Maybe you\u2019re more of a loner, like Pee-wee Herman<\/a>. While we would never recommend hitchhiking to the Alamo (which still doesn\u2019t have a basement<\/a>), a truck camper is an excellent choice for solo travelers who need to get up and go whenever the road calls their name. Bonus: most come with bike racks to keep your two-wheeler safe and secure.<\/p>\n

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE: CONVERTED BUS<\/h3>\n

No matter how dysfunctional a family may be, there\u2019s nothing like a road trip to bring everyone together for some quality bonding time. Usually, we\u2019d recommend a Class A or C for any group larger than three, but what\u2019s more nostalgic than a yellow Volkswagen bus? Luckily, this converted beauty from eBay Motors<\/a> doesn\u2019t require a push-start<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ALMOST FAMOUS: CLASS A<\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t have to be in a rock and roll band to drive from city to city with your best mates. All you need is a large, fully-equipped RV (like this vintage Class A), your favorite Elton John tape<\/a>, and a friend to document the entire journey. Just be sure to familiarize yourself with local COVID-19 guidelines before you arrive and don\u2019t forget to call your mom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DUMB AND DUMBER: POPUP TRAILER<\/h3>\n

Want to take a no-frills trip to the mountains with your best bud, but aren\u2019t sure if you\u2019re ready for a big-league camper? We suggest the popup trailer \u2013\u00a0an RV that\u2019s so simple to tow and set up, even Lloyd and Harry<\/a> could figure it out.<\/p>\n
