The Rv Rating Book: 1996 Models

A complete reference book rating recreational vehicles (travel trailers, fifth wheels, motor homes) for the current model year. Over 3,000 models sorted by brand, type, length & use classification (vacation, RV trekking, snowbird, full-time). Models rated for safety durability & value. The safety rating represents the average handling characteristics of the RV when traveling on the highway & its ability to respond to driver commands. Weight, size, payload & wheelbase are primary factors for motor homes. Weight, size, payload, axle capacity & hitch weight percentages are primary factors for travel trailers. The durability rating is based upon the number of defects found in new & used RVs of any particular brand. The value rating is based upon the durability rating weighted by the safety rating & staff appraisals when considering the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Easy-to-read information in chart-like fashion. 8.5 X 11 comb-bound. Published annually. Also available in sections - motor homes on travel trailers @ $38.00 each.
