If you are looking to buy a motorhome in the near future, you may have noticed that there are several options to choose from. Trying to decide which one would be right for you can seem a bit overwhelming. In order to help make your decision a little easier, here are the top 10 questions that you should ask before buying a motorhome.
1. What Will be the Motorhome's Primary Use?
If you are wanting a motorhome that is used for recreational use only, then you may want to find one that has a luxurious cabin that has all of the amenities of home.
2. How Many People will be staying in the Motorhome?
Not having enough room for all occupants can not only be uncomfortable, but it can also be unsafe.
3. What are the Sizes of the Fresh and Waste Water Tanks
If you plan on staying in your motorhome any length time, it is a good idea to have both a waste and a fresh water tank to help with sanitation and hydration.
4. Does the Motorhome have a Built-In Generator?
Having a built-in generator will add a level of convenience to the motorhome. Most parks and campsites do offer electrical hookups, however, if you have your own generator, you will not have to spend unnecessary time trying to find electricity.
5. What Kind of Fuel Does the Motorhome Require?
Most Class B motorhomes will be powered by a gas-powered engine. And most Class C Motorhomes will use diesel. Make sure that you understand which fuel is needed for your motorhome.
6. Is the Motorhome Well-Insulated?
A motorhome's insulation will not only cut down on the heating and cooling costs, but it will also help eliminate outside noises so that you can rest more peacefully.
7. Is the Motorhome Fuel-Efficient?
If you are planning to take your motorhome on long trips, you may want to get one that does not consume too much fuel.
8. Does the Motorhome Have Slide-Outs?
Slideouts help adds some more room mainly to the living room area. But some motorhomes also come equipped with slideouts in the bedrooms too.
9. Do You Need a Special Licence to Drive a Motorhome?
As long as it's 11,000kg (24,250lbs) or under, a G class is the only licence that's needed. A class D is needed for motorhomes that weigh more then 11,000kg, and a DZ class required if it is equipped with air brakes.
