Which RV Is Best for You?

Whether you’re looking for a full-time hobby or just planning a big trip, here are some things to consider when buying or renting an RV. Lots of retirees opt for the adventure of the open road. With different sizes, prices and features, there’s an option for almost everyone. Whether it’s an 8-foot camper or a 40-foot “fifth wheel,” here are some things to consider before you take one off the lot. Motorized or towable? If you already own a truck, a towable trailer lets you bring your vacation home wherever the road can take you and saves the expense of a pricier motorhome. Motorized RVs have an engine, which means more maintenance. But depending on the model, you can have a bathroom and kitchen right there when you need them for long road trips. In many states it’s illegal to have passengers in a trailer, so go with a motorhome if you want to bring the family along for the ride. Consider the class you want. Motorhomes come in three - A, B, and C - that all offer different sizes and specs. Class A’s are the biggest and most popular pick for their ample living space and amenities. But these bus-sized homes on wheels will set you back. For a cheaper option, consider a smaller Class C. They offer a lot of the same benefits with more maneuverability, but you’ll have to use a ladder or steps to reach your bed. Check out a Class B if you’re ok with tight quarters. They’re the size of a standard van and better for solo riding or couples. Scoop up storage. You’ll want a Class A or a fifth wheel if a roomy interior is your top priority. Some fifth wheels even have ramps to help you bring on bikes or jet skis. Find your floor plan. Class A motorhomes usually have flat, single-level floor plans, but that cabin takes up space - fifth wheel trailers offer high ceilings and larger apartment-style layouts. They’re perfect for longer-term mobile living if you can handle some steps. Class B and C motorhomes are good for vacations and may be too cramped for everyday needs. Consider climate and power. If you plan on exploring cold weather destinations, you’ll have to weatherize your RV to make sure it’s warm enough to sleep in. Some come with electric generators or solar panels to help run your electronics without having to rely on a campground power supply. If you’re going motorized, diesel engines are generally considered more durable. And of course, you don’t have to buy at all. Motorhomes are expensive usually wear down faster than trailers, so if you’re planning for the occasional vacation instead of a full time lifestyle, it may make more sense to rent.
