Nice little “longer term” family RV

One reason I like this little camper is that it has a good little bunkhouse in a longer travel trailer. That makes this a really nice little RV that you could use for that month long vacation into the great western USA.

The DISTINGUISHING features ( here is a list of pretty standard items for a travel trailer ) for this trailer are :

  • one slide out
  • bunkhouse
  • horseshoe kitchen table (seats an extra person )

RV is preferred vehicle for hiding with your monkeys

Well its not everyday you get to see a sentence like this (with some words deleted) : “they’ve been hiding out with their monkeys … in the recreational vehicle”

I think an article like that deserves an honorable mention and a pass-on. I’m not condoning nor condemning their behavior, I’m simply posting because I thought it was very interesting.

Infographic for Selecting an RV based on Usage Mode

Use cases for selecting an RV

So many of my friends that follow rv52 ask me questions like the following :

  • How do I select an RV?
  • What are the main criteria for selecting an RV?
  • How do you use different RV types?
  • Why do different people select different types of RVs?
  • What type of RV should I buy?
  • What type of RV do I need?
  • How do you even figure out which TYPE of RV to buy, let alone what brand?

While selecting an RV is, I think, a personal choice, there are some “main” ideas in selecting an RV that if you at least thought about them might be helpful.

In an effort to help people get a QUICK, FAST, CONCISE method to see some of the factors that affect RV’s, I made up an info graphic that I think is helpful. If you see something you disagree with, please, by all means, drop a comment and I’ll fix the graphic. While I’ve written an article on the RV types, I think this adds a more useful dimension.
