Deciding Between a Motorized and Towable RV
Open Roads Complete RV has a terrific selection of new RVs to choose from, but narrowing those down to the best option can be difficult. Luckily, we’re here to help, starting with one of the most basic questions: do I want a motorized or towable RV? The former includes Class A, B, and C motorhomes while the latter category claims travel trailers, fifth wheels, and toy haulers. Towable RVs are terrific for short-term excursions and extended campground stays. First-time buyers and people with tighter budgets will also appreciate the lower purchase cost, not to mention that upkeep is generally less expensive. On the downside, you’ll obviously need a vehicle to tow one of these RVs, and they’re more difficult to drive in rough conditions.
If your worldview is more nomadic and you plan on living in your RV full time, perhaps a motorhome is your best bet. Class A, B, and C can all be fully self-contained, meaning you can take them anywhere, on or off-grid. And regardless of your destination, you’ll never need to worry about setting up or tearing down. Of course, motorhomes are more expensive and over the course of ownership, upkeep and repairs can be costly.
Other Things To Consider Before Buying Your First RV
Now that you’ve narrowed down your choice between motorized and RVs, there are other factors that will influence your ultimate decision. How many people will be sleeping in the RV? Do you need a larger Class A motorhome or fifth wheel, or will a compact camper van get the job done? Similarly, how much cargo space do you require, and do you need to haul toys or a second vehicle? On that note, towing capacity is a huge consideration. If you have bikes, kayaks, or ATVs, you’ll want to look at toy haulers or motorhomes that have more power to pull a trailer.
