If you are considering buying a campervan or a motorhome then you may find it useful to know some of the differences between both. So, let’s have a look at this in a little more detail. Hopefully, having done so, you will have a better idea as to which one you feel is most suitable to meet your needs.

A motorhome tends to be larger in size than a campervan. This means that it has more living and storage space. It also means that it will probably have more facilities such as a toilet/shower and more equipment in the kitchen such as perhaps a better cooker and a fridge/freezer. It means that a campervan is easier to drive around on small single track country roads with passing places and easier to park than a motorhome.

The cab area in a motorhome is often used as part of the living space in the vehicle i.e. the front seats can be turned around to face to the rear of the vehicle whereas a campervan cab is not usually used as part of the living area. This enables the living space and seating capacity to be maximized in a motorhome.

As the motorhome tends to be a bigger vehicle it may come equipped with a more powerful engine thus making it more expensive to put fuel in it.

A motorhome tends to cost more to buy than a campervan whether you are buying a new vehicle or a second hand one.

It is quite possible that the cost of insuring a motorhome is going to be greater than insuring a campervan.

If you are undecided whether to buy a motorhome or a campervan then why not consider hiring a motorhome for the first week of your summer holiday and then hire a campervan for the second week of your break. By doing so, you will quickly discover the pros and cons of both types of holiday transport and be better placed to decide which type of RV to buy.
