RV FEATURE
COMMENTS
• Full caravans and fifth wheelers come in all shapes and sizes . The smaller the van , the less storage and living space .
• Small vans are easy to tow and park but can be ‘ claustrophobic ’, especially in bad weather .
• You may also have to consider options for storing a big van when it ’ s not being used .
• An excellent option for young families , especially if you want the interior features and space of a full caravan that ’ s a little easier to tow .
• Older kids may not appreciate sharing bed space with their siblings .
• Not ideal if the weather is cold and wet
• Hybrid campers offer a great compromise between a full-size van and lightweight offroad camper trailer .
• While they are expensive , they tend to be packed with the latest technology .
• While the interiors are well designed , if you ’ re stuck inside due to the weather , you may feel ‘ closed in ’
• There ’ s not a huge difference between a pop-top van compared to an equivalent full caravan . Slightly less convenience and a little more exposure to the elements are the only downsides
• Less height increases storage options
• The sheer range of types and configurations of camper trailers eans there is something for everyone and every budget .
• Many are offroad capable . They will go where many caravans can ’ t .
• Some are easy to set-up but most are not .
• In the wind and the rain , they can be uncomfortable .
• Motorhomes are fantastic if you don ’ t like the idea of towing a large caravan .
• Most use a commercial vehicle as a base so you may not get all the mod cons of a car .
• Unless you have a bike or a small car to tow , even a quick trip to the shops requires a full pack-up
• Campervans are a great escape machine .
• They are easy to drive and park .
• Depending on the model , you may have to set-up your bed every night .
• Similar inconvenience to a motorhome when it comes to doing the shopping .
• If the weather is bad , you might want to check into a hotel .
