RVing isn't just a trend; it's a timeless adventure millions of Americans have enjoyed for years. It's a way to explore the country, embrace the open road, and experience a sense of freedom.
Currently, around 40 million people across the country own an RV, and 38% of those owners are millennials. However, another report by Camping Business statistics states that 16.9 million families are strongly interested in taking on the RV lifestyle, whether it's for vacationing or full-time living. It's not just about owning a vehicle; it's about owning a lifestyle of adventure and freedom.
If you're interested in exploring this further and you're ready to hit the open road, see what this RV experience is all about, and become the proud new owner of a home on wheels, let's take a look at some important points that you need to think about before you splurge on a top-of-the-range live-in motor.
Research
Preparation and research are key to successful RV ownership. Before you even step onto a foreourt, you need to find out what type of RV's are available, what type of amentities and features they come with., you need to know the rules regarding whether or not you can keep your RV at home for when you're not on the road (HOA), different state laws and where you can and can't drive and park and you also need to look at any applicable taxes or costs associated with own and a vehicle of this size.
Repairs
There's no denying that repairs to an RV can be pretty extensive. There are a lot of mechanics and equipment involved in creating a home that can move around wherever you want, especially for the more extensive and luxurious RVs. When you spend a lot of time on the road, you increase the usage, wear and tear, and the risk of breakdowns and accidents.
The last thing you want is to be stranded somewhere in the country and unable to continue with your travels because you can't get the repairs that you need. This is where a suitable RV warranty comes into play. Knowing the expected costs beforehand can help you know if this is something you can realistically afford.
Experience
Before you jump headfirst and fall in love with the brand-new state-of-the-art RV, why not try hiring one for a weekend to see if you can get used to this lifestyle? RVS can be as basic as you like or as luxurious as you want, with some RVs costing millions of dollars.
However, the idea of owning an RV vastly differs from reality. It's an excellent idea to lease an RV before buying one so you can get used to driving and maneuvering in the vehicle, get used to life on the road, and see how you actually feel once this becomes a reality. And if it's not for you, no harm, no foul, and you've not spent money buying the motor home that you really don't want.
