If you are planning
on buying a caravan, it is vital to get a basic idea of their costs, functions,
repairs and understanding their basic purpose. Basically, caravans are special
and unique kind of vehicles that are widely used for touring and camping purposes.
Each owner may have a special requirement.
As these vehicles are
aimed at long tours, so here toughness, safety and comfort are the key features
to look for.
Getting acquainted
with a few functions of these vehicles can save hundreds of dollars (that one
could be spending on modifications or up-gradations) and can keep the occupants
safe as well.
Consider these points before
concluding towards purchase of a caravan:
1.
Capability
of the towing vehicle: Family cars are not meant to tow
caravans. It is highly risky and illegal as well. Get full-length information
about tow rating or towing capacity of your cars or trucks before you make a
caravan purchase. When you know, the towing capacity avoid building a caravan
that is too close to the maximum towing weight. Maintain a moderate
distinguishing line.
2.
Understand
your frequent travel sites: The caravan configurations will
depend on what type of camping space you are going to. While few caravans have
all the modern amenities like Internet and BBQ others are just with basic
spaces. It depends if you are planning long trips at free camp sites you can
spend money on the luxurious amenities but if you are visiting caravan parks
that are charged and already have all the required facilities you may want to
opt for a basic caravan.
3.
Decide
your intended travel terrains: Different caravans
come with different type of suspensions such as on roads and off roads
suspensions. It completely depends on the area you are aiming to explore with
your vehicle. Therefore, get to know what terrains are on your list and gather
full knowledge about road conditions and geographical conditions of the related
areas. Choose your vehicle suspension accordingly.
4.
Know
the standing towing ball weight do you require:
Understand the physical weight the caravan can exert on the tow ball once it is
hooked up. Try to understand how much you require for your trips. Then go for
the one which suits your requirements.
5.
Get
reviews and do background search: User reviews can be
helpful at buying anything and caravan is no exception. Search the net and do
research and read first hand user reviews. This will
give you some ideas about various caravan companies, the distinguishing needs,
their pros and cons etc.
6.
Determine
the size of your caravan: The size of your caravan is a
determining factor for a new purchase or build and it depends on a variety of
factors such as-
- Number of occupants and
storage necessities.
- Your monetary budget.
- Number of appliances to be
fitted like T.V, microwave, mini refrigerator etc.
- Capacity of the towing car.
- Fuel economy.
- Space provided for toilets, kitchen etc.
7.
Caravan
built and ground materials: Always invest in good quality
building materials for caravans especially materials like aluminium frames that
provide strength and robustness to your vehicle. Do not
compromise on the quality of caravan building materials.
If you face a budget constrain instead compromise a few lifestyle appliances in
the caravan. Cheaper building materials may put your safety under a threat.
Invest in quality caravans that are made to last longer – so you can save more
on repair costs.
