RV BUDGET COSTINGS

For most people, buying a caravan or motorhome is the second most expensive purchase they will make. Of course, like many things, there isn’t just the initial purchase price but quite a number of other costs as well. Some are annual items and others are incurred during the travelling year.

The big items are a tow vehicle and/ or getting said vehicle ready for towing — tow hitch, electrical connections, electric brakes, and even things like roof racks and bull bars. Additionally, items like an annexe, awning floor, weight distribution hitch, power cords, tools, sheets, blankets, towels, cooking and bathroom items could all be on the list.

That’s all related just to the initial costings. Then there are annual costs like registration and insurance.

Modern RVs are quite expensive pieces of equipment and require regular servicing, plus there are the onroad costs
