Why Motorhomes?

Motorhomes have a lot of distinct advantages that set them apart from other kinds of RVs. For example, when you have a motorhome you don’t have to worry about using your commuter vehicle as a tow vehicle. But that’s only the beginning of the benefits of a motorhome. 

Save Money

You’ll save money on hotel fees, which is a great advantage, especially if you travel a lot. You’ll still have to pay campsite and hookup fees wherever you land, but those fees tend to be much cheaper than hotel rooms. And the more you travel, the more money you’ll save. Plus, you can cook in the vehicle’s kitchen, which will keep you from spending money on eating out everyday, and it allows you to keep your favorite foods on hand so you don’t have to try to find them along the road. 

Travel in Comfort

Traveling by motorhome is a supremely comfortable experience. These vehicles offer features missing from other kinds of RVs, and definitely missing from a simple car or SUV. If you’ve got a large family, a big motorhome can keep everyone from feeling cramped, and give the whole family room to spread out and do their own thing while on the road. That’s certainly better than hearing the interminable “are we there yet” chorus from the backseat of your family sedan. 

Motorhomes are built for comfort both on the road and at the campsite. After a long day of exploring, you can come back to the motorhome and relax in a spacious living area with a television and other entertainment, or gather around on a comfortable sofa and talk about the day’s adventure. 

Convenience

A motorhome offers significant convenience features over a traditional towable RV. You don’t have to worry about towing a motorhome, which can be difficult and hazardous, especially for drivers unfamiliar with towing. Plus, wind and weather events can make towing even more dangerous—wind can cause your trailer to sway back and forth, which can cause loss of control on the road. Plus, with a trailer, you’re all going to be crammed into the family car for the whole trip. With a motorhome, you can all spread out and relax. And if you want to bring that family car along for the vacation, you can tow it behind the motorhome. Doing that allows you to take quick jaunts to the grocery store without having to take the whole motorhome with you. 

Motorhomes often come with amenities such as washer and dryer units, so you can pack lighter and more flexibly. And if one of the kids gets muddy on a hike, you can easily throw their dirty duds in the machine as soon as they get back. That’s certainly an improvement over taking a bag of stinking dirty laundry home in your family vehicle. 

Motorhomes are great family travel and adventure vehicles, and we’re excited to show you our selection. When you’re ready to shop, come see us at Horn Rapids RV in Richland, and we’ll get you into the motorhome of your dreams. We look forward to seeing you!
