Things to consider
Caravans
- Less expensive than motorhomes
- Most family cars will tow one
- You can use your tow car to explore while the caravan stays on your pitch
- You’ll need to find somewhere to store it
- Towing might not appeal to you
Motorhomes
- No need to tow
- No need for an additional vehicle if you have a compact motorhome
- No need to find additional storage (if you’re using it as your daily car too)
- You may wish to hire a car for daily excursions so you don't need to 'de-camp'
- You’ll need another car for everyday use if you have a large motorhome
- They can be expensive because you’re buying accommodation with a ‘tow car’ ‘built-in’
Your decision
Only you can decide what’s right for you.
