Campers and motorhomes are not for everybody, but they do provide certain groups of people with a vehicle that really does compliment their lifestyle
. Sports enthusiasts are most certainly one group of people who fit this category. You may be familiar with seeing campervan near your local beaches and lots of long haired surfers trooping in and out, but these vehicles are not only for surfers.
Motorhomes are commonly seen these days in the car parks of golf clubs. These are an ideal from of transport and accommodation for a group of keen golfers. Many motorhomes feature large rear garages, which are ideal for storing the a number of large golf bags and trolleys. Adding in that many golfers will shower and eat a good dinner after their round at the golf club, the bathroom and cooking facilities in the van may not be of the utmost importance for the travelling golfers. Rumour has it that a young rookie Chris DiMarco spent some time playing on the US pro golf circuit in his US style RV.
So what about our surfer dudes. Clearly the campervan with its provision for cooking, sleeping and carrying large surf boards is the ideal vehicle to get these fanatical sports people to remote beaches. It was the surf enthusiasts in California who helped develop the cult image around the VW Camper in the nineteen sixties.
Motor sports such as car and bike racing are other sports that lend themselves to use of a motorhome. These pursuits typically involve driving to the race track and staying for an entire weekend, through various rounds of practicing, qualifying and race sessions on top of vehicle maintenance. The clear requirement here is for the vehicle to provide sleeping, cooking and the ability to store and tow. Clearly the motorhome is an excellent choice of vehicle for many sports enthusiasts.
