Are you in the market to purchase an RV? Whether your first, second, or fith RV purchase, you should go through a detailed process to determine the best fitting RV for your current and future travels. Whether this is your first time at RV dealers<\/a> or you\u2019ve never used a structured approach to researching the travel trailers you\u2019ve purchased, the guide below can help.<\/p>\n

Gather with your household, friends, or whoever will be joining your travels, and list answers to the questions below. Assign different weights of importance to each one, then work with RV dealers to find the best match.<\/p>\n

Why are you getting an RV?<\/h2>\n

RV is an umbrella term for everything from small pop-up tents that can be towed by standard vehicles to luxurious motorhomes<\/a> with all the amenities of a small apartment. Some can be driven off-grid over rugged terrain and parked on unpaved land. Others can only be parked in RV campgrounds due to their weight and size. Which one should you choose? It depends on why you\u2019re getting an RV, and what you plan to do with it.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re roughing it out beyond civilization, you\u2019ll want an off-grid RV. If you\u2019re sticking to national or state parks, or RV campgrounds, you\u2019ll be okay with a large towable RV or a motorhome. It\u2019s better to have a smaller, lightweight RV if you\u2019re going to be outdoors most of the time. The longer you plan to be in your RV, the more likely you\u2019ll prefer a larger habitat.<\/p>\n

Which features and amenities do you need vs. want?<\/h2>\n

If your RV is for family road trips across the country, you\u2019ll want an RV that can keep your young ones comfortable and entertained. Family members who aren\u2019t accustomed to RVing might feel better with a bathroom and kitchen always within reach. They might also prefer to have an entertainment section, or at least a small TV to occupy their time during the drive. You might also want more amenities if you\u2019re on the road for a longer time, so your travelers have an easier time staying fresh.<\/p>\n

Some amenities are purely luxurious, such as entertainment centers and hot tubs. Depending on your campground features, you might not need a wet bath or even a kitchen. The most you might need on any given trip is a sleeping area, wash area, and kitchen. For long trips, you might want a washer and dryer, but even then you can stop by a laundromat. For convenience, you can deck out your RV with an entertainment\/gaming section, a complete bathroom (shower, tub, toilet, sink), and multiple sleeping areas.<\/p>\n

One tip for finding your perfect RV camper<\/a> is making a list of Needs and Wants, finding an RV that fulfills all the Needs, then working through the Wants.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your driving experience?<\/h2>\n

Towing a small truck camper is a different experience than driving a Class C motorhome. Each RV handles differently and will take time to adapt. If you\u2019ve never towed something or driven a truck, prepare to take time to familiarize yourself with how your RV handles. You might pass the driving responsibilities to another traveler or opt for an RV with easier handling. This is especially important if you\u2019re navigating tough or narrow roads. Would you be comfortable driving through those roads with a large RV?<\/p>\n

How much are you willing to spend?<\/h2>\n

The final deciding factor is how far\u00a0your budget<\/a> extends. If you don\u2019t have a sure budget, your first step should be making one. A low budget can limit your options, but RV dealers are experienced with helping customers stay within their means. You might also consider RV consignments, which are pre-used RVs offered at discounted rates.<\/p>\n
