April is the month for chocolate Easter eggs, taxes and SPRING BREAK! With warmer weather approaching, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the great outdoors after the long, cold winter.
If you own a campervan or class B motorhome, then you already know how easy and affordable it is to pack up and plan a road trip adventure. Whether want to get away for the weekend or take off for a weeklong excursion, a campervan is the perfect way to escape the everyday and make some amazing memories!
If you don’t own a campervan, we encourage you to do some research and find out why motorhome owners love their travel vans…starting with this blog right here!
Campervans are easy to park, maintain and more affordable than class A and C RVs. Retired couples, single folks and families alike enjoy the experiences they encounter in their multi-use travel vehicles.
8 Reasons to Consider Buying a Class B Campervan or Motorhome
1. More affordable than you might think.
If April has you down about your tax return, keep in mind that campervans – particularly used models – can be quite economical. In addition, campervans save money on airfare, hotels and eating breakfast, lunch and diner in a restaurant. If you’re thinking about high gas prices, remember: when gas prices increase, so do other means of transportation.
2. Bring your pets on vacation.
Do you hate the idea of leaving Fido and Kisses behind? You’re not alone. Many pet owners can’t stand the idea of leaving their pets behind at home on vacation. The beauty of owning a motorhome is you can bring your furry, scaly or feathery friends along!
3. Motorhomes have multiple uses.
If you purchase a class B motorhome or camper, you can use it for a wide range of things in addition to camping. Campervans may have the word “camper” in them, but they are also great vehicles for day trips, work events, antiquing, sports games, pet shows and many other activities. Not to mention, in the case of a power outage, your campervan may come in handy since it contains a generator and propane fuel tank.
4. Access some of the country’s most beautiful destinations.
Visiting national parks is a lot easier when you access a campground. Owning a campervan takes the “roughing it” aspect out of camping. Being able to sleep in a comfortable sofa bed with access to a TV is like pulling up your hotel room to some of the nation’s most beautiful scenic attractions.
5. Motorhome loan interest can be tax deductible.
The interest on your motorhome loan is deductible as a second home mortgage. Qualified motorhomes must have basic sleeping arrangements, basic cooking accommodations and a toilet.
6. Campervans allow you to bring the comfort of home on the road.
If you have children, this is particularly nice. Bring your kids’ toys and other modern conveniences that would be difficult to bring on a plane.
7. Everyone can use more outdoor time.
Your motorhome is a great way to soak up some vitamin D and increase your physical activity. Hiking, fishing, canoeing and other outdoor activities are just a few of the many ways to catch some sun and break a little sweat during a campervan road trip.
8. Take the stress out vacations.
Rushing to the airport with your luggage (not to mention having to haul your entire family’s luggage around) can be a nightmare. And entertaining children on a flight can be a disaster. (Have you ever had to change a dirty diaper in the airplane bathroom? If not, it’s no picnic!)
Even though you may hear the kids arguing in the backseat and asking “Are we there yet?” for the hundredth time, at least a campervan is spacious enough to get some distance between yourself and the kids.
Another great thing about traveling in your motorhome compared to air travel is the flexibility it offers. No need to worry about missing that flight or sticking to an incredibly tight schedule. If you forget something, you can usually find a supermarket or convenience store along the way and go on your merry way.
Motorhome travel is exciting, convenient, affordable and a great way to make amazing memories! Be sure to check out the second part of blog series for more reasons why owning a campervan rocks!
