How to Make Your RV Comfortable: Everything You Need To Know
Have you ever dreamed about the freedom of life on the open road? Have you ever wanted to travel, see new sights and experience different cultures without having to pay for expensive flights or hotels? Well, an RV is your ticket. But before you contact your California RV Dealer with a check in hand, there are some things that you need to know about making your RV comfortable.
Find an RV that suits your needs – a desk for the writer, one bedroom with plenty of space and two bathrooms are essentials.
Choose the right RV – gas or diesel? Diesel is more expensive than gasoline, but it’s also cheaper to operate.
Pay attention to your budget: How much are you willing and able to spend on an RV that will take you across the United States? You can get a used one for $40-50k; new ones start at about $60K. If this price range seems too high, consider renting from RVs America! They offer short term rentals with prices starting around $120 per day (plus tax).
A few other considerations before making that purchase: Do you want a three wheeled or four wheel drive vehicle? What size do you need–small enough so it fits in parking spaces near shopping centers
Consider if you need to be able to tow something or park in cramped parking spaces before buying. For example, will you have room on either side of your rig? Will it fit where planned?
Know which campground amenities are important to you: pools, playgrounds, convenience stores etc. Some can accommodate RVs while others require tents only. Campgrounds vary dramatically depending from state to state so make sure there is more than enough research done beforehand!
Look for things like countertops (either laminate or granite), clean surfaces around the kitchen sink area that allow easy cleaning, a shower with plenty of water pressure and double sinks for convenient handwashing. The kitchen should be outfitted with running water that’s hot at all times as well as an exhaust fan to keep the air fresh.
For your bedroom, you’ll want these basics: lots of storage space, bedside tables or lamps so you can read in bed easily and enough room to move around freely without bumping into furniture.
