WHAT KIND OF CARAVANNER ARE YOU?
Buying a new or secondhand camper, caravan or motorhome can be an overwhelming experience, particularly with the myriad options in terms of available brands and styles.
The kind of RV that will suit you best depends entirely on your personal interests and your style of travel. Your budget plays a big part as well, but in many cases a secondhand unit may work just as well as a brand new model.
“Everyone is different in how they want to travel, and the type of setup they will be happiest with is the one that suits how they want to get out and see the great outdoors,” says Wayne Park, a Relationship Manager with finance broker Credit One. Park deals with customers every day who are looking to finance their first RV, upgrade to a different model or even downsize, and he reckons he can pin caravanning types into four major categories: The Glamper, the Family Caravanner, the Travelling Nomads, and the Serious Off-Grid Warrior (this is excluding the weekend warriors).
“These categories naturally lend themselves to different styles of caravans, hybrids, campers or motorhomes and by recognising yourself in them, you might more easily be able to get a model you’ll be very happy with.”
