For most RVs under 26,000 lbs (which covers the majority of rentals), your regular Class C license is all you need. If you're eyeing a seriously heavy rig, check the weight—some massive models may require a special license.

The Texas Outdoors

With so many state and national parks to visit, the biggest challenge might be choosing where to go. A good place to begin your road trip to Big Bend National Park in western Texas. This extensive natural area spans more than 800,000 acres, stretching across the Mexican-US border. At the heart of the park is the Rio Grande River, which offers opportunities for watersports and multi-day river excursions. Meanwhile, the park’s mountainous terrain and prairies are a welcome change to Texas’s dry and dusty desert.Another place to visit while RV camping in western Texas is Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which is located within the Chihuahua Desert. This unique landscape is home to fossilized reef mountains, salt flats with blindingly white dunes, as well as four of the state’s highest peaks. The diverse eco-system of this park makes it a haven for many species of wildlife, so you can observe birds, mammals, and reptiles all year round. Guadalupe Mountains National Park is also an excellent place for stargazing. You can choose to watch the night sky from the comfort of one of the RV campgrounds within the park or from a remote backcountry campsite.From Guadalupe Mountains National Park, take an RV road trip to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Dubbed as the Grand Canyon of Texas, Palo Duro is a 60-mile canyon with spectacular 800-foot-high cliffs. The park provides 30 miles of trails that are suitable for hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding. Inside the park, there are five camping areas open to RV users, so you can camp in the great outdoors and wake up to the western meadowlarks and Mississippi kites. Or, you can drive the Texas RV rental south to Caprock Canyons State Park.

Throughout the rest of the year, the area is a hotspot for watersports. Windsurfers can head to the Padre Island Seashore, one of the top windsurfing destinations in the USA, while kayakers can paddle on the open waters of Laguna Madre.

You can use public transport to reach the city center and leave your RV rental at the RV park.If you're planning to visit Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast, then Galveston should certainly be on your itinerary.
