Do you really need a massive, heavy camper? Or would a lightweight and compact RV better suit your family?
Many travelers, especially those 35 to 54 years old, choose a smaller model. There are plenty of perks that go along with downsized campers, which we discuss below.
Easier Towing Experience
A smaller RV will be much easier to tow. You won’t be wrestling against a behemoth of a camper on a winding road or windy day. Instead, enjoy a less stressful drive. The lower weight of the RV means less impact on the tow vehicle’s turning radius, stopping distance, etc. Anyone can enjoy a hassle-free drive, but especially those new at towing campers!
Better Gas Mileage
Your tow vehicle will need to burn less fuel when towing a lightweight and compact RV. Travel the same distance, but spend less money on gas.
Plus, you’ll need to stop less often to fill up. Spend more time on the road and get to your destination earlier. This is especially helpful when traveling in more rural areas where gas stations can be fewer and farther apart.
Increased Campground Access
Some campgrounds cannot accommodate massive rigs at all. Others may allow giant campers, but only have a limited number of spots available that quickly book out.
With a lightweight and compact RV, enjoy the widest range of campground options. It’ll be much easier to book a stay with the large selection of choices available!
