SLEEPING
As far as sleeping arrangements go , this is another area where the two modes can differ . Unlike our caravan , which is set-up for two people , it ’ s not uncommon for motorhomes of similar size to sleep up to six .
A double bed in a C class motorhome might be located at the motorhome ’ s rear , with another located above the cabin in the Luton peak . The café style dinette area might also double as a bed for another two people as well .
Then , when the motorhome is in motion , passengers sit at the dinette table where seatbelts have been provided .
COST SAVINGS
One of the main points of difference between a caravan and motorhome comes down to running costs . Travelling in a single vehicle , such as a motorhome , means you will avoid doubling up on big ticket items , like insurance and registration .
The same goes for maintenance , including tyres and suspension . All these things add up very quickly and will make a dent in your budget .
Many caravan and motorhome manufacturers make rear-view cameras a standard feature
So the cost savings if you take the motorhome path aren ’ t something that can be easily dismissed .
SUMMING UP
From our experiences with caravan and motorhome travel , we feel there are many benefits for touring with both types .
Each has a variety of models , styles , and layouts to choose from , so it will ultimately come down to your own preferences and personal circumstances . So whether you choose to go down either the caravan or motorhome road , at the end of the day they ’ re both an excellent choice for getting out and seeing the country . And that ’ s what it ’ s all about !
Size-wise , our caravan and vehicle set-up is well over 40ft in length compared to the 25ft motorhome we used .
