This article was born thanks to several families who contacted us for advice on buying motorhomes in the USA.
As this trend is gaining momentum, we decided to calculate and show those who are just hatching this idea how much a trip will cost when you buy a motorhome at the beginning of the journey and sell it at the end.
If you like freedom, the road, nature and comfort at the same time, then discovering America in a motorhome is the best thing you can think of!

Why buy when you can rent?
It’s cheaper to buy in the end
On average, the cost of renting a mobile home per day is $ 100-$ 250 per day, depending on the season. Within a month, you can find options for $ 3,000−5,000 (including mileage). If you do not want to return to the same place where you rented the house, then the one-way fee may amount to another $ 200-$ 700.

If you have your own RV, then, with luck, you can sell it for the same money as you bought or even more expensive.
However, the process of searching, buying and selling at the end of the journey requires a lot of time and knowledge. Here we can help, even to the point that you arrive in the USA and you will be met at the airport already on your trailer.

How long to travel
Traveling in your own mobile home will allow you to get to know America in a completely different way, because here an RV is a whole culture.
The recommended duration of the trip is from 1 month
A tourist visa allows you to stay in the United States for up to 180 days a year (however, you should not abuse American hospitality).
If you want to stay on the continent, then you can go to Mexico, where you will also be stamped for 6 months and life here is much cheaper, but this is a separate story (the idea of a road trip to Mexico).
