When you’re trying to elevate your camping experience with an RV, it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking bigger is better. Don’t forget that a smaller camper has a number of advantages aside from the lower sticker price! We here at Allan Dale Trailers & RVs want to make sure you find the rig that’s right for you, so we’ve put together a few of the biggest benefits of a smaller RV.

Affordability

The immediate benefit to buying a smaller RV? It’s cheaper. That doesn’t just apply to the sticker price, either. Lower up front costs mean lower insurance rates, and smaller RVs mean less fuel and electricity usage.

Easy Transportation

Obviously, a smaller camper means one that isn’t as hard to control on the road. With smaller motorhomes, you won’t be driving what essentially amounts to a bus on highways and country roads. Smaller towable RVs put less strain on your tow vehicle and might block less of your rearview mirror. Navigating narrow areas and parking will also be easier!

Gas Mileage

Smaller, lighter RVs also mean less fuel being burnt per mile. That has a financial impact, as well, but the primary benefit here is a more convenient travel experience. Driving further on the same tank of gas means more exploring, fewer unnecessary stops, and better preparation for driving remote areas.

Amenities

It might surprise you to learn that even smaller RVs can be packed full of amenities and features that make your experience more comfortable. Depending on the brand and model, they might include:

  • Slide-outs to increase interior space once you’re parked.
  • Convertible furniture to combine a living and sleeping space.
  • Removable furniture to customize your interior before any trip.

For Starting Out

If you’re new to RV camping, smaller models can help you get the hang of things. It’s easier to learn to control, manage, clean, and maintain an RV if it’s on the smaller side.

Storage

Finally, when you’re not using your RV, it needs to go somewhere. It’s much easier to find the space you need for storing it when it’s on the smaller side. Covers, garage space, and even just driveway space are easier to parse out for a smaller RV.
