The Best Way to Explore the Country – In a Travel Trailer or RV Motorhome?

When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, there is one important decision you need to make: travel trailer or RV motorhome? There are benefits to each one, and it depends on what your priorities are for travel, mileage, and amenities. To help you decide which one is the right fit for your travel and comfort needs, we have compared the two choices. Out of Doors Mart has a huge inventory of new and used travel trailers, fifth wheels and used motorhomes in NC, and we have found that the RV decision depends on your camping style and outdoor travel plans.

The Basic Difference in Traveling
Let’s take a look at the main difference between a travel trailer and an RV motorhome. A travel trailer needs to be towed behind a truck and a motorhome is self-powered. You actually drive the motorhome, like a bus. Therefore, if you need to make small trips from your campground area, you will need to tow a car or truck from your motorhome, to have that available. With a travel trailer, you already have your truck, since you are towing the trailer and can unhitch and use the pickup truck. Proper methods of hitching and unhitching are taught by qualified technicians with every unit Out-of-Doors Mart sells.

Space and Amenities
If you have a large family or like to have extra space for a long trip, a motorhome can accommodate your space requirements with a complete kitchen, dining area, separate bedrooms and more. Entertainment centers and couches are usually included, and they appeal to outdoor enthusiasts who like to travel and camp in style. Some travel trailers include luxury options, making the interiors look similar to motorhomes, so there is always that option for a traveler who wants better gas mileage, but also wants the luxury amenities.

How Much Do You Want to Spend?
There are many options for the amenities available, so it is a good idea to prioritize your needs and find the best fit for your traveling and camping needs. At Out of Doors Mart, our travel trailers in NC are built to last, in comfort, and style.
