If you are an RV enthusiast and wondering what are the pros and cons of buying the RV or whether buying an RV is better than renting a one then this is the right blog for you. Here we discuss in detail the pros and cons of owing a RV and making the decision easier for you.
THE PROS OF OWNING A MOTOR-HOME
1. Packing Is A Lot Easier
When you own a camper van or motor home you don’t need to pack and unpack things every time. Most of the things which you don’t immediately need at home or things which are not perishable can be left in the camper van. Think like games and toys, chairs, camping equipment and outdoor gear can easily kept in the exterior storage places just ready waiting for the trip to happen at any time. Also every-day items such toilet paper rolls, some clothes, blankets, pillows and cleaning products never left the RV and can easily kept in the interior cabinets.Food such as canned goods or sodas in cans can be kept in the motor-home during times of inactivity as long as they are non-perishable or not expired.
2. You Get
To Know Your Vehicle Well
Every RV or camper van is totally different and you will only get to know it when you spend time on its maintenance. When you own a motor-home you will eventually get used to how it works, know if something happens out of the ordinary, be able to tell how long your supplies will last with confidence and how to operate the vehicle on peak efficiency.
3. You Are
Free To Adventure At Any Time
Owing an RV makes you flexible with the trips. You know that you could easily hop up your RV and drive away to the next destination that came to your mind or from one destination to the other. Having a family with children, adventures normally require a lot more planning but when you know you will have a RV ever ready, a dry bed, and enough food to feed everyone, it is a lot easier to get spontaneous about your RV trips.
4. You Can
Live In A Motorhome
Having an own RV can be your temporary home when your permanent home is being renovated or going through repairs. In this way you don’t need to go far or waste money on hotel stay. Most modern RV/Campers have a refrigerator, stove, bathroom and shower, thus providing the basic facilities for you to live in and even a few comforts such as microwave and oven, built-in TVs, satellite hook-up, and DVD players to watch films.
5. It Is A
Lifestyle
You can also adopt RV lifestyle and can
become a fulltime RVer. When you own an RV you are always
ready for adventure at least once a monthmaking memories and enjoying time
together. You can go for boondocking and spend quality time with friends and
family members. There is so much you can do with your RV even if you don’t have
state of the art technology in your RV.
THE CONS OF OWNING MOTORHOME
OR CAMPER
1. RV
Cost Of Ownership
Owing an RV is a luxury and you will
definitely need a good chunk of money to buy one. RV costs vary drastically
depending upon the size of the RV, the model and whether you are buying a new
one or used RV. In addition to price of the RV you will also have to pay money
for the insurance and road taxes that come from having and operating any
vehicle.
2. The Cost
Of Maintaining A Campervan
As with any other vehicle RV also incurs
maintenance costs. So on top of the cost of owning a camper/RV; factor the
(recurring) motorhome maintenance costs. On the way it can be the battery
replacement cost or it can be RV Roof recoating using the camper protective
coating. Like any other vehicle it can just stop working and you need to get
the repairs done professionally or go DIY.
3. The Cost
Of Storage
Many states have laws according to which you
cannot park your RV in front of a home or in the driveway and even some
driveways are not fit enough to accommodate vehicle as long and wide as RV. There
are RV storage facilities however, they charge a monthly fee to keep the
vehicles at one of these facilities, and they are often a few miles away from your
residence.
4. There Are
Limits Of Where You Can Go
With a motor home at your disposal you can’t
go everywhere. Yes, you can easily go in RV parks, campgrounds and other RV
destinations but some places don’t allow RVs.
Sometimes, states have Low Emission Zones and you can’t drive through it
with all types of motorhome. Also some campgrounds don’t allow
some vehicles. In other cases, there are size limitations also.
5. Space Can
Be An Issue
Most RVs or campers have cramped issues unless you buy a very big one. The beds and mattress can be small, the cabin may not have sufficient space to move and storage space is not quite the same as a home.If you are the type of person that needs your space, then owning a motorhome may not be best option for you. You can still have fun by going on a rental one during an odd trip.
