Before you set off on the road, make sure you know the manufacturer weight ratings for your vehicle. These include the Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR), Gross Combined Weight Ratings (GCWR), and Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). Never exceed these weight limits that are set. They are there for a reason. Exceeding them would put a great risk to you and your family. Also note that you can be within the vehicle weight ratings but still exceed the axle rating. To avoid this, weight each axle separately and make sure the weight in your vehicle is distributed evenly.

To find out where you can weigh your vehicle, you can look through the yellow pages under moving companies and/or truck stops. There are different types of scales such as a platform scale that can measure the entire vehicle, a single axle scale that weighs one axle at a time and a segmented platform scale that checks both the whole weight and that of each individual axle. Be sure the place that you do find have the appropriate scales.

When you go to have your vehicle or trailer weighed, make sure everything is loaded as if you were going camping the same day, which means include all passengers, cargo, pets, food, water, clothing, fuel, and propane tanks. If everyone can’t come, bring something that’s approximately the same weight. You don’t want to leave anything out and practically waste the trip to the scales. Once you get there, the weighing process isn’t very difficult, just time consuming. Take your time and make sure you weigh everything correctly.

Not weighing your RV can cause you to damage your vehicle and ruin the trip altogether. Having too much weight can cause a tire to blow and possibly end up in an accident. For the safety of yourself, your family, and your recreational vehicle, follows the weight ratings and you’ll have a great RVing experience.

Cost can be a factor to choosing either option. If you are on a budget, purchasing or even renting tents, sleeping bags, and other accessories that you may need to “rough it” can be much, much cheaper than buying or renting an RV. If you go camping on a regular-basis, however, an RV can be a good investment since it can get you from A to B pretty well and most of the necessities already come with it.

RVs are great for those who absolutely need comfort when they go camping. It gives you the luxury of being at home in campgrounds. RVs have beds, power, showers, running water, pretty much all the necessities of home. Some RVs even have extensions and “patio” areas that help make it feel even more like home. It is also great if you want to go on long trips and/or if you choose to travel with others. You have the chance to stretch out your legs around the RV instead of stopping at rest stops to do so.

Camping in tents have the “ultimate camping experience”. Most people believe that camping is a way to get away from all the technologies and luxury of home. It is an “escape” to most people and a chance to enjoy nature and appreciate what we all have. There are now mats you can sleep in in tents, or even bigger tents that are able to fit at least six people and still have room for a communal area!

Like previously stated, it all depends on the type of camper. Figure out which type of accommodation suits you and your group best and it can mean the difference between having an enjoyable time and a disastrous experience.
