While RVing is a wonderful hobby and a fun alternative to taking a chance on a hotel, getting started can feel a little overwhelming. One of the biggest benefits to owning and traveling in an RV is that it comes with all its own amenities, which means you may have to provide and maintain water, sewage, and electricity. Thankfully, some places sell RV starter kits, which provide some, if not all; of the equipment you need in one set.
More Cost Effective
The general rule in retail is that it’s cheaper to buy in bulk. The same concept applies to RV kits. While buying the kit at all once, instead of purchasing the components and equipment separately, can seem initially more expensive, it may be cheaper in the long run when all the separate prices for the parts are added up.
Complete
RVs generally need several separate and distinct components in order to provide the best possible experience, and in the rush of packing up for your first trip it can be all too easy to accidentally forget a key part. Going with a kit ensures that you will have all of the pieces you need. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
Compatible
The last, but possibly the most important, advantage to buying a complete RV starter kit, rather than purchasing parts separately, is that all pieces in a kit are compatible with each other. When purchasing parts separately, especially when shopping from different vendors at different times, there’s a very real possibility that some of the hardware may not fit perfectly together. This can cause some serious problems, especially if water or sewage hoses don’t connect properly.
In the end, time is money, and buying an RV starter kit can help ensure you don’t have problems from missing or mismatched gear later on down the road.
