Shopping RV campers for sale entails more than picking a model off the lot. Comfort, accessibility, and features are all important factors that will help you determine which models to shop from. Before you come down to our lot there are some important tips on finding the perfect RV camper that you should think about.
What Type of Camping
While you are looking at RV campers for sale you should know how you plan to use it. If your plans are focused on campgrounds with full amenities, you can forego some features. On the other hand, if you want to go off-road and off-grid, you will need a camper that provides all of your daily needs. Fewer built-in features also make it possible to look at shorter units, and that can make a big difference.
Size Matters
Small RV campers are allowed in all campgrounds with RV facilities, but longer ones are not. National parks are a great example, where 12-foot models are allowed in all park campsites but models 40 feet long or longer are only permitted in a few. Keep in mind that areas where high winds are common can make longer RVs more challenging to operate. Choose a length that works for you.
Required Features
The amenities and features you consider vital will help you determine the perfect camper for you. You could have a home on wheels with everything from bunk beds to a washer and dryer. The more luxurious your choice, the longer and more expensive it will be.
Permanence or Mobility
Do you plan to see the country, or simply set up your RV in a single place? Fifth wheel and camper trailers are excellent for long term camping, but Class B and C campers give you more mobility and destination options.
Number of Occupants
A Class C camper or even a pop-up trailer may be perfect for a couple on the road, but more than 2 people will be cramped. If you are going to be traveling with 3 or more people, motorhomes or fifth wheels might be your best option.
Towing Vehicle
A teardrop, travel trailer or pop-up camper can be pulled behind anything from a mid-sized car to a large truck, but the required vehicle size goes up the longer and more luxurious your RV camper is. If you plan to use a vehicle you already own, make sure that you are shopping for RV campers that are suitable for it.
Driver Experience
With a few exceptions, you do not need a CDL to operate a motorhome, but driving a large vehicle requires more experience than a Class C camper. Unless you have the time to gain experience before hitting the road, shop campers for sale in the size range you are comfortable with.
Budget
There is more to budgeting RV campers for sale than being able to qualify for financing. Larger RVs will have higher ongoing costs like maintenance and fuel costs. Owning a unit you cannot afford to use very often can be a huge disappointment, so keep your purchasing and operating budgets in mind before you buy.
The closer you can match your needs with your abilities and budget the more satisfied you will be with your RV. Contact the staff at Nohr’s RV Center to discuss your RV needs and we will help you find the model that best suits you. The RV lifestyle is a great choice and you will enjoy years of excitement when you are driving the perfect RV camper.
