If you're looking to save money and add more adventure to your RV travels, consider an RV that will take you to some of the hidden gems and out-of the-the way places. A small motorhome is the answer.
Small motorhomes have become the fastest growing segment of the RV industry in recent years. This trend is bound to continue, and not only because of the rising cost in fuel prices. Many retiring Baby Boomers are looking for a more rugged adventure than is conjured up by the image of an RV with all the amenities of home, "plugged in" at an RV resort.
Money Saving Advantages Of A Small Motorhome
Better fuel economy.
Can access narrow forest roads and other dirt roads on public lands to free dispersed camping areas.
With a larger RV many people leave the RV behind and drive a tow vehicle to explore the area. With a small RV your home and food is always with you, so you can save on restaurant meals.
If, while exploring, you find a great overnight spot you can stay without having to backtrack to get your RV.
Since every storage area in an RV seems to get filled, the less storage space you have, the less "stuff" you bring or are tempted to buy en route.
Can be used as a primary or second vehicle when not traveling
With the recent escalation in fuel prices a small RV should hold its value better than a larger model.
The possibility of "sneaking-a-sleep" wherever overnight parking is allowed.
Adventure Advantages Of A Small Motorhome
Easy to drive and park
Allows you to explore what's down a narrow road without fearing that you may not be able to turn around.
If you find a great spot, your home is with you and you are free to spend as much time as you like.
You can be more spontaneous. Since all your gear is with you, if you find a wonderful hiking trail, camping area, or meet up with people, you can take advantage of opportunities without having to return to home base.
With less indoor space in a small motorhome, you're likely to spend more time outdoors, which after all, is the idea, isn't it?
