Why You Should Rent a Small RV<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RVs range in type and size and smaller campers offer numerous benefits over their relatively larger counterparts.  They can still be surprisingly cozy and offer mobility and freedom you can\u2019t enjoy from a larger model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many highly desired National Park campgrounds, such as Arches National Park, have limited (or no) large campsites.  So, you will have a larger variety of campsites to choose from. Additionally, having a small motorhome or campervan will make driving through the park, oh, so much easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also referred to as ‘compact’ RVs, the smaller models offer all the luxuries associated with larger models but on a conveniently smaller scale. Perfectly designed to accommodate fewer campers, smaller RVs are an ideal choice for a group of travelers who don’t require as much space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, going for a little less space inside may mean opening up more options on travel days.  For example, campervans are built on a van chassis and fit right in any parking space.  (If you have tried to navigate the grocery store parking lot in a big rig, you know this is an important point).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another benefit is you will spend less at the pump.   Driving or towing a small RV is considerably more fuel-efficient. This is especially great for persons planning to travel long distances as the fill-ups generally add up much quicker than you would assume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, smaller recreation vehicles are more budget-friendly.  Buying and renting smaller models are usually cheaper. The average nightly rate will be half or less than larger rigs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
