Many RV enthusiasts aren’t sure whether they should buy or rent an RV. If you are plagued with this decision, you might find that it’s actually better to hold off on buying one. Here are five reasons why renting an RV is better than buying one.

You Can Figure Out What You Need Out Of An RV

There’s a good chance that you really don’t know what you want in an RV. There are so many different options. This is why it makes sense to rent one. You can figure out exactly what accessories you will use and which ones you won’t. You will find that RVs come with a lot of cool gadgets. However, there’s a good chance that you may not need things like an outdoor TV or extra overhead storage if you are a weekend warrior. You can also determine what size RV you really need. While it might seem great to have a massive RV to accommodate guests, you really need to think about whether or not it’s worth the hassle of being able to accommodate a few extra people that may be visiting on occasion. It’s difficult to figure out what you really need out of an RV just by looking at them online or by visiting one at a dealer. It’s best to stay in one for a couple of days to determine what you need.

It’s A Great Opportunity To Learn What It’s Like To Drive And Live In One

You shouldn’t commit to buying an RV until you know what it’s really like. If you rent one, you can test it out. You can see all of the great things about RVing like being mobile while having all of the modern conveniences at your fingertips. You can also see the bad side of things like dealing with grey and black water and having to find dump sites. After renting an RV, you might find that you really prefer renting to purchasing an RV. Renting an RV will also allow you to see what it’s like actually drive one. Many people are intimidated at first, but they eventually get over it. Unfortunately, some individuals never can get over their fear of driving a large Class A and prefer a smaller Class C style RV. It’s better to find out what you are comfortable with before you make the large financial investment of buying an RV.

You Can Try Different Layouts

RVs come with all sorts of different layouts. While this is very convenient, you will find that it can be difficult to determine the best layout for your needs. Without trying out a layout, you won’t really know if it will be what you need long term. You may find that you need chairs instead of a sofa so that you can have additional walking space, or you might want an overhead sleeping compartment instead of bunk-beds. By renting an RV, you can determine what things you like and which ones you don’t. If you purchase an RV and discover that you don’t like the layout, you can’t rearrange the furniture as you do in your home, and instead, have to purchase a new one. You can save a lot of hassle by renting different RVs to determine which layout is best for you.

Maintenance Won’t Be Something That You Need To Worry About

RV maintenance can be quite expensive. By renting an RV instead of buying one, you won’t have to deal with this. You probably won’t ever have to experience the hassle of breaking down on the side of the road. This is because maintenance will be performed on your RV rental before you pick it up. This can save you a lot of headaches and money in the long run. While there is a chance that your RV rental will break down when you are in it, you won’t be responsible for the repairs as you don’t own the actual RV.

It Might Be Cheaper

Buying an RV isn’t cheap. If you only plan on using an RV a few times a year, it’s probably better to rent one rather than buying one. For instance, you might like going camping in Florida but only once a year. If you do decide to rent an RV instead of buying one, you won’t have to shell out thousands of dollars for an RV that isn’t being used most of the year. If you do decide that you want to purchase an RV down the road, you won’t have to worry about wasting your money on an RV that isn’t the right fit. You’ll know exactly what you need because you will have RV experience of renting RVs in the past. You will make the right decision when it comes to the best RV for your needs, and you won’t have to worry about wasting your money on an RV that you won’t use.

In conclusion, it’s very expensive to purchase an RV. This is why you may want to consider renting one instead. If you do decide that you want to purchase an RV in the future, you will know exactly what you want if you have rented RVs in the past. Depending on how often you will use the RV, you may find that it is much smarter financial decision to be a long-term renter whenever you decide to hit the open road!
