Buying a Golf Cart As an RV Owner
Those intrepid travelers who opt to live in their RVs full-time may be interested in locating an easy means of transportation to use that can help them to get around campgrounds and other areas outside. If you have chronic health conditions or limited mobility, a vehicle like a golf cart can make all areas of a campground more accessible to you. Families with kids or anyone who has a lot of cargo to carry around can also make use of a golf cart on their trips.
You can tow your golf cart behind your RV in a small trailer so that it’s always available to you, and use it for many different purposes, including golfing at your destination! But it’s important to think about what you need from a golf cart for your RV before you buy it. Here are some things you’ll want to consider when shopping for a golf cart as an RV owner.
What Makes a Cart RV-Friendly?
The golf cart you choose as your means of transportation with your RV should be a smaller model that will easily fit into a small trailer. Really large or heavy golf carts are going to be too challenging for you to tow behind you. Also, you’ll want a golf cart with more off-road capabilities than you might need on a golf course where there’s a paved path to follow.
New or Used?
Your next priority is to decide whether you want to buy a new or a used golf cart. Each type has its benefits and drawbacks, depending on your budget and what you’re looking for in a golf cart.
New golf carts will have all the latest bells and whistles and the most streamlined engines or batteries. You can sometimes even get warranty coverage with them. Used golf carts, on the other hand, can offer you more variety, vintage appeal and a lot of savings due to their depreciated value.
Features
You can also choose between a wide array of features on your chosen golf cart for your RV, which will help to improve your golf cart’s comfort, safety and aesthetic appeal. Features you can install including the following:
- LED lights to make it easier to see while driving at dusk.
- Customized paint jobs or decals that make your cart truly yours.
- Windshields to keep rain and debris from hitting you and your passengers.
- Seatbelts to keep everyone safe.
- Drink holders for beverages.
- Canopies to keep you sheltered from rain and sun.
- Stereos to play music or podcasts while you ride.
- More storage options to carry everyone’s gear.
