Buyer’s Remorse With The Camper Floor Plan
Choosing the wrong RV floor plan can drastically affect your vacations. Too little space and you are stuck feeling cramped, tripping over other passengers, and being unable to pack everything you’d like. Too much space and you’re unnecessarily paying higher fuel costs and spending more time on maintenance.
One way to prevent this is by articulating your space needs. Think about the number of people in your traveling party, the items you want to bring along, and so on. The more you can identify your floor plan needs, the easier it will be to get a good match.
It’s also helpful to explore various camper floor plans. See what’s out there and what would best suit your family.
Buyer’s Remorse With The RV Handling Experience
A big part of a vacation is getting the RV to the campground. If the camper is difficult to handle, this will lead to a stressful and unpleasant drive!
In order to avoid buyer’s remorse, ask yourself the following questions:
- Would I rather drive a tow vehicle or drive the camper itself?
- What size RV do I feel confident controlling?
- Do I have the budget to pay extra for easy handling features, such as better suspension and vibration dampening?
Buyer’s Remorse With The RV Features
This can go one of two ways. Some folks pay extra for camper features that they never end up using or needed. Other folks pass on camper features that they later wish they had. Some perks can be added as an aftermarket accessory, but usually for a much higher cost than if the RV came with the feature.
The solution? Dedicate time researching RV features and evaluating their utility for your camping style. Read through customer reviews to see what current owners say. Chat with RV dealers to see what they recommend. Gather as much information as you can, which will help you make a more informed decision about the camper features that best suit your needs.
