How do you determine what is right for you, a motorhome or travel trailer? Do your research. Talk to owners of an RV, read through blogs and familiarize yourself with terms in order to get a better understanding of the RV market. The Go Rving<\/a> website provides a wealth of information.<\/p>\n Motorhomes<\/u><\/p>\n Motorhomes are divided into Classes. Class A Motorhomes are the largest and usually come with the most amenities, they are also typically the most expensive and luxurious.<\/p>\n Class B Motorhomes are the smallest of the three. They are built on a van chassis and are similar to driving a large SUV. They are ideal for two to three passengers on a weekend trip.<\/p>\n Class C Motorhomes are also built on a van chassis but can be as big as a Class A Motorhome. They are distinguished by an extended section over the cab which usually houses a bed. It\u2019s a popular choice for a long weekend or a two to the three week getaway.<\/p>\n Motorhomes are considered easier to move and set up and they allow you to tow an extra vehicle for exploring. They have a self-leveling jack so there is no need for blocks under the wheels. The downside, if a repair is necessary, the entire rig has to go into the shop. Also, due to the motor they depreciate faster. \u00a0Another drawback, when towing a vehicle you will be unable to reverse.<\/p>\n Travel Trailers\/ Towable<\/u><\/p>\n Travel trailers are less expensive and hold their value longer. Most can be towed by a standard pick-up, SUVs and some minivans. \u00a0They offer more living space and because they require a tow vehicle, you will have more freedom to make quick stops.<\/p>\n However, their long length can make parking an issue and you will have to deal with towing and hitching. It is not recommended and in some states illegal to occupy the trailer while in motion.<\/p>\n Other important considerations:<\/p>\n RV Insurance<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 \u201cRV insurance<\/a> is similar to your auto insurance<\/a>,\u201d says Buck.
