Shopping for an RV is exciting — but with so many options on the market, it can be hard to know where to start. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned camper looking to upgrade, here are the top 5 features people prioritize when choosing the right RV:
1. Layout & Floor Plan
The floor plan is often make-or-break for campers, and it all depends on your travel plans and lifestyle. For extended stays, features like kitchen islands and extra storage can make a big difference. Taking the whole crew or expecting guests? You may want a separate bunkroom for the kids and a private bedroom for yourself. Whether you’re exploring Northern Ontario, the lakes of Manitoba, or the foothills of Alberta, a well-designed layout makes every trip more enjoyable. Think about how and where you travel — do you need space to entertain? A quiet spot to work? A layout that suits your lifestyle will always pay off in the long run.

2. Weight & Towing Compatibility
Once you’ve got an idea of your must-have features, it’s time to think practical — what can your vehicle actually tow? Whether you’re driving an SUV or a half-ton truck, your towing capacity will help guide your search. The good news? There are plenty of great options designed to be lightweight and tow-friendly, from compact travel trailers to half-ton towable fifth wheels.
Fancy something bigger and outside your tow range? No problem — ask us about delivery options from any of our locations in Regina, Winnipeg, Medicine Hat, or Virden. We’ll help get your RV exactly where you need it. Starting with the right weight range — or the right support — means a smoother, safer trip with no surprises when it’s time to hit the road.
3. Outdoor Kitchen
Summer is short — get outside! Outdoor kitchens are a top feature for campers who love to cook and entertain in the fresh air. From quick breakfasts and cold drinks to full BBQ dinners, an outdoor kitchen adds both functionality and fun to your campsite setup. Many models include a mini fridge, sink, and two-burner stove or grill — some even come with TVs and additional prep space.
4. Awnings
Your awning is like your front porch on the road — and the right setup can make a big difference in your comfort. Maximize your outdoor living space by looking at awning length, coverage, and whether the RV includes more than one awning. Bonus: many newer models come with power awnings and built-in LED lighting for easy setup and cozy nighttime ambiance.
5. Solar Power Options
More and more RVers are benefiting from the power of solar! Solar can help save you money, is good for the environment, and keeps your energy needs flexible! Many new models now come solar-ready, making it easy to upgrade as your camping style evolves.
