Motorhomes And Travel Trailers Ontario, A Holiday On The Move

By Virginia Rogers


When thinking of a holiday many people now decide to opt for motorhomes and travel trailers Ontario rather than a motel or other accommodation. Either of these option are an ideal way to see more of your chosen destination. Before deciding it is worth doing some research.

When choosing a motorhome there a many things to think about. Fully equipped and at the high end very luxurious they are not the cheapest of vehicles. As little as 20, 000 dollars can be spent but bear in mind that this is an entry level small unit. If you want a large fully equipped motorhome with all the gadgets you will be looking to spend in excess of 150, 000 dollars and in some cases much more. Some buyers choose to design their own and this will also increase the cost.

Travel trailers also come in various sizes from 2 berth up to ones that can sleep 10 guests. Small basic trailers can be found for as little as a few thousand dollars and rising depending on specification and equipment. Bear in mind if you choose to go for a trailer you will need a suitable vehicle to tow it. A large car or pick up will be required and will need to be powerful enough for your selected model. Retailer and dealers in Hamilton, ON will be happy to help you select a suitable tow vehicle.

Many also choose to hire a motorhome or trailer and many companies offer this service. For around 1500 dollars a motorhome can be rented for a week and slightly less costly for a trailer. This is also a sensible thing to do if planning on a purchase as it gives the potential buyer an idea of what they may need before making an investment.

A major factor in both of these options is fuel costs. If towing a 4 berth trailer you will be looking at 8 to 12 miles per gallon. A motorhome will use more returning around 5 to 8 miles per gallon. Also bear in mind insurance premiums, due to the contents and specification of these units your costs will be fairly high.

When deciding on a site there are many options where you can park up for your stay. Many sites will charge between 10 and 20 dollars per night for a pitch, electricity, water and sewage services will be extra and this will vary depending on the site. The more luxurious campsites equipped with swimming pools, restaurants and bars can exceed 50 dollars per night so also factor this into your holiday budget.

Both options need much consideration. When opting for motorhome bear in mind that if you have a mechanical problem that needs attention you may lose your accommodation whilst it is being fixed. By choosing a trailer if this did happen you still have somewhere to stay and can always hire another car or truck if you wish to continue your tour.

A trailer or a motorhome, both great ways to spend a vacation, live or do the road trip you have always wanted to do. Not being tied down to a single base for days or weeks gives you the freedom to tailor your trip to your specific needs. A perfect way to see many places around the world.
