If you want to travel in an RV but you are unsure as to how to go about it, or if you want to buy an RV but at the same time, you want to avoid the mistakes most people make, then this is the guide for you.
Choosing the Wrong Rig
The biggest mistake that people make is that they simply choose the wrong rig. First-time RVers tend to prioritize what they like about an RV, rather than what they can actually use the RV for. This is the last thing you should be doing, as you need to make sure that your rig can be suited to towing or driving. You should also make sure that you account for the remote site stops or even full hook-up campgrounds you will need to stay at. At the end of the day, there is no one-size-fits-all rig out there, and thinking that bigger is always better isn’t necessarily good either. If you go for a big rig, then you may find it impossible to make tight turns, and you may also find that fuel consumption is a bit of an issue as well. If you have limited campground access, then this is another major mistake that you don’t want to make, as if your RV is too big, then you may not be able to park in it.
Not Assessing Campgrounds
Assessing RV campgrounds is so important. You need to make sure that you are taking the time to make sure that you are looking at what’s out there, so you can make sure that there are actually some places you can go with your RV. If you can do this, then you should be able to make some good decisions regarding your trip, and you may also find that you can find out what you actually want out of your RV. If you can do this, then you can imagine where you would like to go, how you plan on getting there, how long you want to stay, and more. Things like this can help you to determine what your core needs are, so you can begin to envision your family being on the go.
Buying without an Inspection
Another big mistake you need to be mindful of is buying your RV without any kind of inspection. You need to make sure that you take the time to reduce and recycle if you can, which you can do by buying your rig. With that said, if you end up with a pile of junk, then this will result in more waste and more expense down the line. If you want to help yourself, then make sure that you hire a certified RV tech so you can make sure that you get a pre-purchase inspection done. They can then check the RV to make sure that everything is in good condition, and to make sure that you are not wasting your money. If you can do this, you will notice a big difference.
