Choosing Between a Campervan and a Motorhome

Campervan or motorhome? It is a big question, and one that causes much debate amongst van lovers and aspiring owners. The lines are somewhat blurred between the two styles, but there are also clear discrepancies.

Size and price are the two stand-out differences between the vehicles, but then there are a few other things to consider.

To help with making your selection, the following are the benefits of both versions.

CAMPERVAN PROS

A campervan is a good choice if you are a solo traveller or with one companion, whether it be a partner, friend, family member or a four-legged friend. There is an option for a second bed in an Achtung Camper campervan, and this would be a suitable arrangement for two young children weighing under 150kg in total, but no bigger.

It’s also the one if you are keen to dive directly into camping with only a few essentials such as a bed, cooker and washing up facilities.

A campervan is great for a first-time adventurer, but would like a few comforts.

Manoeuvrability is key with campervans! It is smaller in length, which makes it easier to park, drive and store and therefore, for many owners it becomes an everyday vehicle.

MOTORHOME PROS

A motorhome is an ideal choice if you prefer to be self-contained, with bathroom and toilet facilities and not wanting to worry about checking in somewhere for these little luxuries.

It’s a good option if you are hitting the road for a few months and embarking on a long-term holiday.

A motorhome allows you to go off-grid on road trips and be more remote. This means minimal reliance on campgrounds or parks. They are kitted out with all of your must needs – shower, toilet, basin, stove and sink. What more could you ask for!

There is more space in a motorhome, due to the addition of a shower and toilet. Camping tends to be easier with these mod-cons at your fingertips.

Set-up is faster in a motorhome, as the bed is made-up and ready for relaxing.

Both motorhomes and campervans from Achtung Camper provide unique advantages tailored to different types of travelers. By considering your travel style, budget, and needs, you can choose the perfect vehicle to make your road trip dreams a reality.
