When going on a camping trip, you need to plan a lot of things like your camping destination, things to bring, food to prepare, and activities to do. But one important dilemma that many campers face is whether to go tent or Rv camping. Both options have their own pros and cons, that make it quite difficult for campers to make a choice.
If you find yourself request the same thing, you will need to evaluate your needs, habits, plans, and preferences so you can make an informed choice. Here are some factors that can help you come up with a good decision.
Tents Travel
Cost
When it comes to cost, the Rv is obviously more expensive. The cheapest recreational vehicle in the shop amounts to ,000 and the price can double or triple depending on the size, features, and amenities of the Rv. On the other hand, the most expensive tent would only cost you 0. You do not have to be a math whiz to see how big the difference is between these two things. Not to mention, other additional costs come with using an Rv like fuel, gas, electricity, and so on. This is why, if money were a big concern for you, the tent would probably be the more practical choice.
Maintenance
Aside from being expensive, Rvs are also high maintenance. You have to do regular inspection of the vehicle's motor to ensure that it is kept in top condition. Tents, meanwhile, do not want too much maintenance. In fact, all you need to do to care for the tent is to clean it after every use, dry it thoroughly before storing, and keep it in a safe place away from bugs, heat sources, and mildew.
Comfort and Convenience
While the tent has the edge over the Rv in both cost and maintenance, the Rv wins hands down when it comes to relax and convenience. For one, you don't have to worry about bringing too much or too itsybitsy to your trip. You can bring as many as the Rv can hold like cots for camping, sleeping bags, and so on. Not only that, sleeping will also be very comfortable inside the Rv. Even if you bring movable cots for your tent camping trip, sleeping in the Rv would still be much more relaxing.
Plans
Apart from the three factors mentioned above, you also have to consider your plans. If you plan to go on camping trips abroad, it doesn't make sense to spend in an Rv because you can't bring it there. But if you only want to go on camping trip nearby, it's all right to buy an Rv.
Environment
Of course, you also have to think about the environment when manufacture a choice. Tents are obviously the more earth-friendly option because they don't use energy unlike the Rv. If you value the environment more than your own relax and convenience, the tent is the way to go.
Both tent and Rv camping offers great opportunities for fun and enjoyment. Make sure you consider all these factors so you can make the right choice.
