The Dilemma
Uma usukhethe ukuthenga i-RV, uzobhekana ngokushesha nesinye isinqumo esibalulekile: i-motorhome noma i-trailer yokuhamba?
Wonke umuntu uzoba nesethi ehluke kakhulu yezidingo nezifiso zekhempu yabo efanelekile, futhi inqwaba yezinto ezizothonya ukuthi yiluphi uhlobo lwe-camper ozofuna ukuzitholela lona.
Uyathanda ukunambitheka kokunethezeka lapho ukhempa? Noma ingabe ulungile nge-roughin 'it? Bangaki abantu abazokujoyina ohambweni lwakho lwe-RV? Ithini ibhajethi yakho?
Uma ungazicabangi ngokucophelela lezi zinhlobo zemibuzo ngaphambi kokuthenga, kunethuba elinamandla lokuthi uzobhekana nokuzisola komthengi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi phansi komugqa.
Umehluko
Ngakho-ke, uyini ngempela umehluko phakathi kwe-motorhome ne-trailer yokuhamba? Ake sikuthinte lokho isikhashana nje.
Ama-Motorhomes
Kalula nje, i-motorhome iyi- ezizimele imoto yokuzilibazisa. Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-camper ngokwayo inenjini futhi ingashayelwa ngaphandle kwesidingo semoto edonsayo njengeloli noma i-SUV. Ama-Motorhomes eza ngosayizi abahlukahlukene futhi ahlukaniswa ngamakilasi ngokusekelwe kulawa masayizi.
- Isigaba A: Lawa ma-motorhomes angamakhulu futhi ngokuvamile athathwa njengama-motorhome aphambili emakethe. Ezinye zinkulu futhi zisinda ngokwanele ukuthi zidinga ilayisense yokushayela ekhethekile ukuze zisebenze.
- Isigaba B: Amancane kunawo womabili ama-motorhome e-Class A ne-Class C, ama-morhome we-Class B ngezinye izikhathi abizwa ngokuthi ama-motorhomes anephrofayili ephansi. Uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwemotorhome yakwa-Class B emgwaqeni kulezi zinsuku iveni eshintshiwe.
- Ikilasi C: Laba bakhempa abanosayizi omaphakathi bahlukanisa umehluko phakathi kwekilasi A kanye nekilasi B. Zihlanganisa imizimba emikhulu kune-Class B futhi ngenxa yalokho zinikeza isikhala esingahlala kakhulu. Indlela elula yokubona ukuthi i-motorhome iyi-Class C ngokubheka ngaphezu kwekhebhu yemoto. Uma ingxenye yomzimba we-RV inwebeka phezu kwekhebhu, cishe iyi-Class C. Ingxenye engenhla kwekhebhu “iyindawo yokulala ekabili”, futhi inikeza izindawo zokulala ezengeziwe ezicishe zingalokothi zitholakale ekilasini B.
Ama-Trailer Wokuhamba
I-trailer yokuhamba ayinayo injini yayo futhi kufanele idonswe ukuze ihambe. Ama-trailer ohambo angaba makhulu ngendlela efanayo, noma abe mancane kakhulu kunama-motorhome kuye ngohlobo. Nazi izinhlobo ezimbalwa ezihlukene zama-trailer aphathekayo atholakala emakethe:
- I-trailer yokuhamba: Nakuba leli gama lisetshenziswa kabanzi, “i-travel trailer” ibhekisela kusayizi othize kanye nohlobo lwekamu elidonsayo. Lawa amakamu amaphakathi, futhi yilokho abantu abaningi abacabanga ngakho lapho bezwa igama elithi “travel trailer”.
- uHlelo: Lawa ma-trailer akhiwe angasindi ukuze kwandiswe ukusebenza kahle kukaphethiloli. Nakuba emancane kune-trailer yokuhamba noma isondo lesihlanu, ama-trailer angasindi asakhululekile ukuthi abantu abadala ababili baphile noma bahambe ngawo.
- Okunwebekayo/Okuzivelelayo: Ama-trailer anwebekayo aziwa nangokuthi ama-pop-up trailer ngenxa yekhono lawo “lokuvela” nokudala indawo enkulu yokuhlala. Ngenkathi idonswa, lezi zindawo zokukhempa zidilika zibe inqola ejiyile, ehamba emoyeni futhi eyonga uphethiloli. Uma sezimile, zivula i-trailer enkulu ebiyelwe ngodonga efana ne-hybrid ye-camper/tent.
- I-Teardrop: Uhlobo engilithandayo lomuntu siqu lwe-trailer edonsayo, izinyembezi ziqanjwe ngomumo wazo we-aerodynamic teardrop. Ziyi-uber-lightweight futhi zingadonswa ama-hatchback amancane ngisho nezinhlobo ezithile zama-sedans. Nakuba intula indawo yokuhlala, inzuzo yala ma-trailer ivela ekuhambeni kwawo okumazombezombe emigwaqweni yasemuva.
Hhawu, inqwaba yabakhempa. Uma lezi zinhlobonhlobo zingakukhangi, bheka lokhu i-fiberglass iloli camper leyo akuyona i-motorhome noma i-trailer yokuhamba.
Iziqhathaniso
Isikhathi sokuqhathanisa. Lapha ngizokhuluma ngokuhluka okumbalwa okubalulekile kokuthi kunjani ukuba nomnikazi kanye nokuhamba ngemotorhome uma kuqhathaniswa ne-trailer yokuhamba.
Inani
Okunye okucatshangelwa kakhulu uma kuziwa ekuthengeni, intengo ye-rig ngokuvamile iyoba yinto yokuqala ezoheha noma ivimbele othile. Njengomthetho wesithupha, umuntu kufanele alindele ukuthi ama-motorhomes ahlale ebiza kakhulu kune-trailer edonsayo enosayizi ofanayo.
Lokhu kubangelwa kakhulu ukuthi i-motorhome iqukethe injini nazo zonke izingxenye ezidingekayo ukuze ikwazi ukugingqika. Lezi zingxenye azishibhile. Akuvamile ukuthola i-motorhome encane ethengiswayo ngentengo ephezulu kune-trailer enkulu yokuhamba. Ama-trailer ashibhile ngenxa yokuthi awanazo izingxenye eziningi zemishini futhi ngokuvamile enziwa ukuthi abe lula kakhulu kunama-motorhomes.
Ukushayeleka
I-drivability ye-rig yinto ehlukile kakhulu. Abanye abantu bazohlale bencamela ukudonsa i-trailer ngaphezu kokushayela i-rig enkulu efana ne-Class A motorhome. Abanye abantu bazonda zonke izici zokudonsa futhi ngeke baphuphe ngokuthenga i-trailer yokuhamba.
Uma ungaqiniseki ngokugcwele ukuthi imaphi kulawa makamu okuwo, ngiphakamisa kakhulu ukuthi uthole umngane ongumnikazi wemoto kanye nokuthola umngane ongumnikazi we-trailer yokuhamba futhi uwahlole womabili. Ohambweni olude lomgwaqo uzobe ushayela kakhulu ngakho-ke kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthenga indawo yokukhempa oyokujabulela ukuyishayela amabanga amade.
Maintenance
Ama-trailer nama- motorhome kokubili azodinga ukunakekelwa okuvamile. Uma isetshenziswa kaningi, kuyodingeka ukuthi uhlukanise kaningi isikhathi nemali yalokhu kulungiswa. Mayelana nalokhu, ngicabanga ukuthi ama-trailer okuhamba aphuma phambili. Ngenxa yokuthi abanazo izingxenye zemoto, ama-trailer ezokuvakasha azobhekana nokulungiswa okungabizi kakhulu, futhi ngeke abe nengcuphe yokonakala okugcwele.
Uma i-motorhome iphuka, kuzodingeka uthole indlela yokuyidonsela esitolo ukuze ilungiswe. Uma ama-trailer adonsekayo ehlangabezana nomonakalo omkhulu, kulula ukuvele uwudonsele kumakhenikha ngokwakho, uqede izindleko zezinsizakalo zamaloli adonsayo.
Isikhala Nokuphila
Kubantu abade noma abantu abathanda indawo yokukhempa enhle enamagumbi, ama-motorhomes ngokuvamile azoba banzi futhi anikeze indawo yangaphakathi ephileka kakhudlwana kune-trailer edonsayo. Ama-Motorhomes avame ukufaka "ama-slide out", okuyizigaba ze-camper ezingavulwa kusetshenziswa ama-hydraulics ukudala izindawo zokuhlala ezengeziwe nokulala. Nakuba kuvamile ukuthola ukuphuma kwama-slide ku-trailer, amasondo amakhulu esihlanu ngokuvamile anakho.
Ubuhle bama-trailer ububanzi bosayizi afika ngawo. Ngemva kweminyaka ngilala endlini yami eyakhiwe umbhede weloli i-canopy camper, ngithola noma yini enkulu kune-trailer ye-teardrop ukuthi ibe ukunethezeka okuphelele. Kulabo abafuna nje isikhala sokubeka ikhanda lakho kusihlwa, i-trailer edonsayo kufanele ibe ngaphezu kwe-camper eyanele.
Ububanzi Nokuqina
Abanye abantu bazosebenzisa inkampa yabo ukushayela emapaki e-RV amahle futhi bathumele izinsuku ezimbalwa noma amasonto ngesikhathi, behlola imvelo namadolobhana azungeze leli paki. Abanye bazofuna ukungenisa ikamu labo ekujuleni kwezwe futhi bathole indawo eseceleni ye-boondock, ehlukaniswe nomphakathi wonke. Zombili izindlela zokulunga.
Kwabahambi bepaki ye-RV, ama-motorhome namasondo esihlanu kuyindlela yakho yokuhamba. Hamba nakho konke ukunethezeka kwempilo yesimanje njengoba uhlola i-America the Beautiful. Ama-Boondockers ase-backcountry azodinga i-trailer ye-teardrop noma i-pop-up ngoba cishe ngeke ukwazi ukushayela ezinye izinhlobo zabakhempa emigwaqweni engu-4×4 eholela ekuhlukanisweni kwangempela.
Cabangela isitayela sakho se-adventure, ukuthi ufuna ukufinyelela kanjani ngaphandle, nokuthi yisiphi isitayela se-camp esizofaneleka kangcono kulezi zenzakalo.
Insurance
Umshwalense okufanele uwuthengele i-rig yakho uzodlala ezindlekweni zempilo yonke zokuba nomnikazi wendawo yokukhempa. Ukhumbula izindleko zokuthenga, ukunakekela nokulungisa, kanye negesi, umshwalense uyizindleko eziqhubekayo okufanele zicatshangelwe futhi zicwaningwe ngaphambi kokuthenga.
Umshwalense wemotorhome cishe uzobiza ngaphezu komshwalense we-trailer yokuhamba. Lokhu kubangelwa ingxenye yeqiniso lokuthi ama-motorhomes ngokuvamile makhulu kunama-trailer, futhi ngokwengxenye ngenxa yesikweletu esifika nokuqinisekisa umnikazi wendawo ngemoto.
Kubahambi abanomqondo wesabelomali, ama-trailer ayinketho engcono kakhulu yokonga imali kumshwalense. Umshwalense we-trailer yokuhamba ishibhile futhi ungahlanganiswa kalula nomshwalense wezimoto. Kwezinye izifunda zase-USA, ama-trailer we-teardrop azidingeki ngokomthetho ukuthi ube nomshwalense futhi izinqubomgomo ezitholakalayo zithengeka kakhulu.
ukwehla
Ngaphandle kwamamodeli akudala, afiselekayo, zonke izimoto ziyancipha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Okufanayo kuyiqiniso ngama-trailer nama-motorhomes. Cabanga ukuthi uzofuna isikhathi esingakanani ukuba ne-camper yakho nokuthi ingakanani imbuyiselo ku-investimenti ozoyifuna uma usuthengisa ekugcineni.
Uma uzofuna ukubuyisela intengo yakho yoqobo yokuthenga eningi ngangokunokwenzeka, hamba uthole i-trailer yokuhamba. Ngenxa yokuntuleka kwenjini, ama-trailer ehla ngenani eliphansi kunama-motorhomes, futhi ekugcineni lokho kuncipha kuzokhuphuka. Ngakolunye uhlangothi ama-Motorhomes ehla kakhulu futhi ngokushesha futhi azoqhubeka ehla inani njengoba injini iguga.
Ukuvala Thoughts
Ngeke nginikeze impendulo eqondile embuzweni othi, “Yikuphi okungcono, i-motorhome noma i-trailer yokuhamba?” Lo mbuzo unokuhlukahluka okuningi kakhulu okuthonya umphumela futhi uncike ngendlela emangalisayo ngokwemvelo.
Ngenxa yokuthi sonke sinezifiso ezihlukile nezifiso zohambo lwethu oluhle kanye nekamu, ayikho impendulo elingana yonke. Kwabanye abantu abathenga i-trailer edonsayo kuyimpendulo ecacile nesobala ngqo ngaphandle kwesango. Abanye bebengeke baphuphe ngokuthenga enye into ngaphandle kwe-motorhome yokuhamba. Zombili ziyizimpendulo ezisemthethweni ngoba zombili zizokwanelisa izidingo ezithile zabanikazi bazo.
Ngakho-ke, yenza ucwaningo oluningi, cabanga kanzima, futhi ufune umphefumulo kancane. Cabangela okuguquguqukayo engixoxile ngakho ngenhla futhi uthole ukuthi iyiphi i-rig ezosebenza kangcono endleleni yakho yokuphila kanye nezindlela zokuphila zomndeni wakho nabangane.
I-YouTube ingaba umthombo omuhle kakhulu wolwazi futhi ingaba usizo ekuzwisiseni ukuthi hlobo luni lomkampini ongaba nentshisekelo kulo. Isiteshi se-YouTube se-Ecocampor siqukethe uxhaxha lwamavidiyo anikeza ukuvakasha okubonakalayo kwabavakashi bethu nama-RV. Nikeza le vidiyo yokuvakasha ye-trailer yethu ye-slide-out ye-19′ ukulunguza:
Ukuthenga i-camper isikhathi esijabulisayo kodwa akufanele siphuthunyiswe kuso. Ngokukhuthala okufanele, kulula ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ugcina une-rig ephelele yakho konke ukuzidela kwakho kwangaphandle. Ngikufisela inhlanhla!
