Reasons To Rent an RV

1. It Costs Less Money

The price to rent an RV is drastically lower than the cost of buying a camper. Those with a small travel budget will want to consider simply renting RVs for their trips.

2. You Travel Infrequently

Buying an RV is not only a big financial investment, it's a large time investment too. If you only take a few short trips each year, it's wise to stick with renting an RV. No need to pay all the money and spend all the time with upkeep for a few short camping trips.

3. It's Easier

When you rent an RV, the dealership is in charge of everything ownership-related. The RV dealer is the one to handle maintenance, upkeep, repairs, parts replacements, storage, and so on. Get all the fun of having a camper without the hassle that goes along with buying an RV!

Reasons To Buy an RV

1. You Travel Often

The more often you travel, the more it makes sense to purchase an RV rather than rent one. Over time, the costs of repeat rental end up more than the costs of buying the camper.

2. You Want More Options

There are only so many rental RVs available. But there is always a massive selection of new and used campers for sale!

The higher number of choices is especially helpful for groups that have unique needs or wants. For example, those that have a high number of people and need an unusually high number of beds, those that want to bring along powersports vehicles, those that have tow vehicle restrictions, and so on.

3. You Want To Modify The RV

One great perk of buying an RV is that you can change it to your heart's content. Switch up the flooring, furniture, paint colors, and more to better suit your lifestyle.
