The pros of the camper van
- Simple to drive
More manageable and less bulky, the camper van is increasingly successful. Due to its advantageous dimensions, you can easily pass under the tall barriers or travel on small roads or in the city center without any worries.
- Easy to park
With a camper van, no more questions, it is easy to park in parking lots or in parking areas along the streets. Easier than a car !
- The camper van is the discretion guaranteed !
And besides, you go completely unnoticed on the road… Or almost.
- Great prices…
This type of vehicle is found to be generally less expensive than to buy a classic motorhome, although it depends on the model. Moreover, concerning equipment level, everything is already there !
- A simply fashion phenomena
In recent years, camper van sales have increased in amazing ways. Today, the camper van is fashionable and represents approximately 20% market especially as it suits to any audience.
However, there are also disadvantages !
- A small space
With less living space than in a motorhome, we sometimes feel a little tight in the camper van.
- Less comfort
According to some people, it is less comfortable than a motorhome but still cozy in its own way !
- And the cold is coming !
Useless to say that the van is much less important than the one of a motorhome… Then be careful to a little harsh winter…
- Not a perfect design…
A very strong resemblance to a delivery van, do not forget that the aesthetics of the van is not fitted to the top either.
