7 Advantages of owning a Campervan in Europe | for non-europeans

A campervan, RV, motorhome or camping car, however you want to call it, is a home on wheels, and there is no better way to travel Europe than in your own. Here are seven advantages of owning an RV rather than renting or using a buyback scheme.

For the adventurous minds there is no doubt about it, Europe by motorhome makes perfect sense, especially US citizens, Australians, Kiwi's and Israeli's are well represented in owning vehicles in Germany and the Netherlands. But why would you prefer owning over renting? Lets start our list.

7. No rental rules and regulations.

Besides the weekly prices of van hire they come with a lot of rules and regulations, crossing schengen borders, limited miles on the contract and paying huge repair costs for damages. Having your own RV means being totally free! No milage limits, no border limits besides the ones from the insurance and if you have a small damage you can decide yourself wether you want to repair it or not.

6. Travel for years!

Weekly prices of a rental and monthly prices of a buyback means huge costs on relatively small periods, having your own RV escapes all those things, you can actually explore europe on your own pace. A registration program cost is often yearly which means that you can store the vehicle between trips and come back to adventure in other countries and cultures. Many of my own customers own it for over 3 or 4 years flying up and down for long and small trips, they even rent it out to friends and family! During storage is often the perfect time to have it serviced or repaired.

5. Making your own plan.

Living the RV life is full of adventure and freedom, having your own means litterally escaping life, wander trough the fairtale villages of Germany today, check out Paris tomorrow and off you go to eat some paella in Spain! Enjoy your self chosen view every day again.

4. Save costs on the road and on your investment.

One of the biggest advantages of owning a motorhome is the costs! we already talked about no rental or repurchase losses which are likely the biggest differences, when you own you also have maintance and repairs that you should take into consideration, how ever the vanlife is cheap if you make it. Using apps like www.park4night.com let you chose your free camping spots to sleep for free and since you own it, you can really slow travel and plan ahead, cooking yourself and stock up at big shopping centres is cheap countries really make a big difference!

Buying a RV means investing, if you buy well you can earn some of that money back with the sale! you can do this yourself by getting the knowledge yourself or reading Harroineurope.com His e-book on how to purchase a motorhome, or getting assistance from Harro him self to get the best investment on wheels!

3. Getting your perfect RV

Owning means buying, and buying means that you are the boss! no need to settle with a rental car, you can choose the layout that fits you best! This way you have your perfect home on wheels exactly as you like it!

2. Your RV your Stuff

Especially for those who travel over the years its super beneficial to invest in your RV and enjoy that Airco, off-grid solar set up and more, having your own clothes and stuff means that you can simply return to your home country and step in holiday mode as soon as you come back for a new adventure! especially when its stored correctly.

1. Community

When i was still a backpacker i remember coming to places where people where so much more than mere tourists, local expats or travellers exploring the same place for longer times had some kind of magic over them, wether its the relaxed lifestyle or just the community i dont know, but what i do know is that RV owners are not just tourists..

Owning a campervan means you move your house where ever you roam and this is exactly how it feels, coming at places where there are no other tourists, meeting locals and exploring every corner of this beautiful continent. Our community means that there are other travellers doing the exact same thing as you, helping each other and sharing the experiences that people who travel short periods simply don't have.
