Even harder… are you weighing the options of buying a camper vs. a cabin? Since my family has both an RV and a family cabin, I will give you the inside scoop. Should you buy an RV or a cabin? Here’s how to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, a cabin is better if you like solid sticks and bricks, prefer to stay in one place, and want to have your family memories rooted in a specific location. On the other hand, if you travel regularly and you love exploring different places, buying an RV is better. The entry price for a used RV is also considerably less than a cabin. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also an option that I found to be popular on the east coast, which is to use an RV as a cabin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As someone who owns an RV and has a family that owns a small cabin, I think they’re both worth buying. Although, choosing which one you should buy depends on your <\/em>situation, as well as what kind of traveler you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to worry, I\u2019ll help you decide whether a cabin or an RV suits you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When trying to decide if you want to buy an RV or cabin, the best thing to do is plan your next vacation in one of them. <\/strong> Staying in a cabin versus a vacation home will give you a very different experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you decide solely based on cost, you may be surprised when you put pencil to paper. While renting a cabin or vacation home may seem expensive, it will include many things which could be additional costs in an RV. With renting an RV, you still need to pay for the gas to tow it, the campsite, amenities, and the campgrounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out the prices to rent a camper for your next vacation on Outdoorsy here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, a cabin on land that you own is a better long-term investment than an RV. <\/strong> An RV will depreciate over time, just like your car. However, an RV can be a good investment for some owners. For example, if you travel frequently, having an RV could help you save money on travel costs. In addition, you could even make money by renting your RV out through peer-to-peer marketplaces like RVezy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nShould I stay in a Camper or Cabin on my Next Vacation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
