How Much Money Do You
Have To Spend?
This is the one of the first questions to ask because, depending which
types of RVs you are
looking at they can be very expensive. Some Class
A Motorhomes can cost more
to buy than what you paid for the house you now live in. The Bus
Conversions in the
Class A category
can cost well over two million dollars
each. I bet you're paying attention now!
So before going on this buying
spree, you need to take into consideration how much you can afford to pay,
whether you are planning to finance the RV or pay cash for it. Spending
your kid's college fund or cashing out your pension plan to purchase an RV
may not really be a good choice.

How Often Are You Planning To Use It?
This is the second in the questions to ask yourself. If you are currently eking out a meager living in this dog eat dog world
and your family will only be able to use the RV on weekends and during the piddly 3 or 4 weeks vacation that your employer gives you. You may not
want to purchase a new RV and have it sit in storage for ten months out of the year.
A better fit might be to look at some options like buying a used RV in your
chosen category until you are free of the bondages of work (retired). On
the other hand, if you are now a Free-Spirit (retired) and the kids have
moved out of the house (finally!) or you are planning to become a Full-Time
RVer and travel the country to go where there is to go, to see what there is
to see and to eat what there is to eat. This is the time to go for the
gusto, the RV world is now your oyster to pluck.
Last but not least if you
are planning to spend a lot of time RVing, now is the time to buy a small
dog to go everywhere with you. You are not an official RVer unless you have
a small dog.
What Kind Of Amenities
Are You Looking For In An RV?
This is one of the
important questions to ask as it determines what kind of lifestyle you are
used to. You can answer this question by
thinking about what you look for when staying at a hotel or motel. If you
are the type of person that looks for a hotel that has mints on the pillows,
Origami animals made out of towels on your bed and a television in the
Jacuzzi equipped bathroom, you should start looking at the
Class A or
5th
Wheel sections of this site.
If you are a person that is happy with a motel
room that has carpet that crunches under your feet when you walk on it and a
box on the nightstand that you put a quarter in to make the bed vibrate, we
suggest you look at any of the RV classes, as all of them will have better
amenities than the hotels and motels you choose to stay in. The bottom line is RV
amenities vary by RV class. If you want all the luxuries, they are
available or if you like to "rough it" a little you can find classes of RVs
that let you do that.
Now that you have completed the questions to ask yourself, you can see your decision on which RV type fits you, depends on
your personal lifestyle. Browse through the different
RV type
pages. Take your time and imagine yourself in each type or RV.
RVing is about relaxation and everyone needs to take the time to
relax and smell the coffee. Eventually, you will find a type of RV that
works for you. You deserve to become an RVer.
