Kinds

Quimper is a general concept, including several separate types of houses on wheels. Individual producers can slightly change the names of species. But most often the following classification is used:

• Alcoves are characterized by the fact that the sleeping place for two is located above the driver. Due to this appearance differs from other types of cars. Its height reaches three and a half meters. The size of such a house on wheels allows you to comfortably accommodate a company of seven people. With all this, its weight is small. In most cases, a "B" category is sufficient.
• Caravans are much cheaper than motor homes on wheels. The trailer-car has large dimensions (up to six meters). Affects one significant minus - the battery can not be recharged while the tractor is operating. This causes the need for a generator.
• Integrated are built on the platform of production cars. But it takes only the chassis and front panel, without a cabin. The house is fully integrated. Due to its design, camper of this type have increased maneuverability, high performance and decent speed.
• Semi-integrated have a good value for money. The salon is spacious, but everything in it emphasizes simplicity and functionality.
• Residential minivans outwardly practically do not differ from simple cars. "Residential" room is located in a normal body. The trailer camper has almost the same characteristics for handling, comfort, maneuverability, which is its prototype. Small dimensions bear their imprint.
