There is absolutely nothing wrong with traveling the open road in an RV. Venturing across the country in a plush bus can be a great way to ensure you have everything you might possibly want at your fingertips.
However, sometimes you can get the same amenities and just as great satisfaction out of a smaller outfit. A Class B motorhome or camper van, for example, comes with some compelling advantages:
1. They’re incredibly easy to park! Camper vans are often slightly wider and not much longer than the typical full-sized SUV. If you’re interested in more space, you can often find some extended conversions that are still quite easy to fit into a parking spot. Class B vans and motorhomes are incredibly convenient when it comes to parking in a residential area, office lot or apartment garage.
2. The gas mileage will put a smile on your face and more cash in your pocket! Many vans typically get 20-28 MPG.
3. Camper vans and class B motorhomes are a pleasure to drive! They’re easy to maneuver and most anyone feels comfortable behind the driver’s seat. Narrow roads, mountain roads, dirt roads – no problem! Although most vans don’t feature four-wheel drive, they can nonetheless get you up or around most any terrain.
4. They’re relatively low maintenance. If you unfortunately run into a situation where you will need a tow, with a camper van it’s no problem! RV breakdowns can be a huge hassle and costly. Most motorhome repairs are relatively easy to fix and vans can be taken to most auto repair shops.
5. Camper vans and motorhomes are so versatile! They can also double as a family vehicle. Whether it is a family road trip to the Grand Canyon or lugging around soccer balls and cleats, your Class B can work for whatever you need it to!
