Then you will want to look at a 4 season type of rig or something that has heated tanks and underbelly. What Seasons Will You Travel In?Īre you planning to do a lot of winter or summer travel? If yes, you definitely want to take weather into account. If you plan to move quicker from place to place or only use it as a vacation vehicle, a smaller rig with less things and setup may be the way to go. It is definitely nice to have space to spread out and if you are at one place for a long stretch you can really get settled in and your rig can feel just like a small apartment! If you are planning to stay at locations for weeks/months at a time you may want to go bigger with your rig. Or maybe you just plan to use it for weekend trips or week long trips a few times a year.
