Common Mistakes When Buying an RV or Trailer
Are you considering buying an RV or a trailer? If you’re itching to spend some time on the open road or dreaming of exploring national parks or visiting friends while skipping the hassle and expense of hotels, a travel trailer or RV may be ideal for your lifestyle. A travel trailer or recreational vehicle (or RV) is pulled behind your car or truck. A motorhome is a vehicle that includes a place to live and sleep, as well as a motor so it can be driven. Prices and accommodation size will vary depending on whether you opt for an RV or a motorhome. Once you’ve decided on which type of recreational vehicle you’re looking to buy, it’s time to create a budget, take all expenses into account, assess how much room you and your family or travel companions will need, and be very clear on your expectations. With these considerations in mind, here are some mistakes to avoid when buying an RV or trailer: Mistake # 1: Not sticking with a budget We’ve all had the experience of heading to buy something and coming home with something way over budget. That may be okay when it’s a pair of jeans, but RVs and trailers are big purchases, most likely second only to a home in price.
