Buying an RV: Finding the Right-Sized Camper

The size of an RV can greatly impact the ownership experience. It’s important to make sure that you’re purchasing the right type of RV to best fit your personal wants and needs. With that said, there are some key factors to keep in mind regarding size when buying your camper. 

Here are a few tips for choosing the right size RV for you!

Consider Your Group Size

A good place to start when deciding on what size camper to buy is to think about how many people it will need to accommodate. Consider the number of people you expect to be utilizing the RV, while also leaving some wiggle room for a larger or smaller group. 

If you’re catering to a large group and are worried about the camper's size, you can also factor in space-saving options. For example, many RVs come with bunk beds or convertible furniture. These types of campers can fit a large number of passengers without feeling too bulky or overwhelming! 

Consider Your Travel Destinations

Some places might only be accessible with a smaller camper, while others can accommodate larger RVs. The roads to reach a particular destination or the campground itself may have different size limitations. 

Think about what kind of traveling you’re planning to primarily use the RV for, whether it be cross-country road trips with the family or solo weekend getaways, and shop campers accordingly!

Consider the Tow Vehicle

If you want to get a towable RV, make sure to research the tow vehicle's weight restrictions. The last thing you want is to purchase a camper that's too big for your vehicle to tow! Additionally, keep in mind that the weight restrictions for your vehicle also include the weight of passengers and cargo, not just the RV.
