Towable RVs vs. Motorhomes

When you look at RVs for sale, you'll find they are often divided into two categories: towable RVs and motorhomes. Both styles offer advantages for different types of travel. The right one for you depends on various factors, from your budget to your tow vehicle options.

Below we discuss the advantages of each approach to help you figure out the ideal option for your family. When you are ready to check out RVs for sale near the Detroit and Flint, MI areas, visit us at Victory Custom Trailers in Almont, MI.

Towable RVs

These rigs require a tow vehicle to transport them from point A to point B. This category of RVs for sale includes travel trailers, fifth wheels, and some toy haulers. Some models require a pickup truck while others can be towed using an SUV or minivan.

Save Money

Towable RVs tend to have lower asking prices. Sure, you can always find a high-end luxury towable RV that is going to cost more than a basic motorhome. But in general, towable models will cost less money to purchase. Their lower sticker prices make them a great option for the budget-minded buyer - and the savings don't stop there.

Towable RVs also tend to have lower maintenance costs. They don't have an engine and they do have fewer moving parts, which means a less complex system to maintain and fewer parts to repair. You'll likely go longer in between mechanic's visits and spend less when you do have to visit a service department.

Finally, towable RVs enjoy a better resale value. All rigs are going to depreciate over time, but the lack of an engine allows towable models to retain more of their initial value. If you decide to sell your rig, you'll recoup more of your original cost.

 Get Access to Your Tow Vehicle

You'll need a tow vehicle to transport this rig type, which means you'll always have your tow vehicle at your destination. This can be a great convenience. Maybe you need to run to the store to get more groceries. Maybe you want to enjoy a hike and the trailhead is at the end of a narrow and winding road. Whatever the situation, it'll be much easier using your tow vehicle instead of driving a massive rig.

Motorhomes

These RVs for sale come with their own drivetrain and fuel source. You won't need another vehicle to transport them. Instead, hop in the driver's seat and start driving the rig itself to your destination.

Get Impressive Durability

Motorhomes are designed to house a large engine, which means their frame is built to be durable. Their sturdiness allows them to be longer-lasting. They can handle the rigors of the open road for years, which makes motorhomes a strategic investment.

Enjoy Easier Travel

When you want to go on a trip, simply hop into the driver's seat and hit the road. There's no need to deal with the hassle of hitching your rig to a vehicle and adapting to how your tow vehicle drives differently due to the extra weight. Instead, enjoy getting on the road faster and enjoy an easy driving experience. Since you'll be in the RV itself, you'll also get access to all your cargo without having to pull over. This can make your long drive more comfortable since you can easily get snacks, water, entertainment for your kids, and so on.
