BEST VEHICLE FOR NATIONAL TOURING/TRAVEL? (reliable, affordable)


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Touring solo artist here - trying to slash my travel (especially lodging) expenses on the road, as I am losing significant portion of my gross $ to travel expenses ( I average 200-300 miles/day on tour!)

What kind of vehicle do you travel with? (Do you own or rent?)
Do you live/sleep in it?
How is it on gas?
What do your travel expenses look like? 
And vehicle/maintenance costs?
How often does it break down? (and what do you do THEN -- if you're on tour? rent a car?)

If you live (and sleep in) the vehicle, what do you do for:
-Power (solar battery?  generator? etc?)
-AC (when parked/overnight)
-Food storage (fridge?)
-Cooking (propane stove? etc)

So far generally stuck with rental cars (sedans) - for reliability sake, but in 2023 rental prices are obscene!
Also, I think I need to avoid sedans-- too fatiguing for long trips... Maybe a van or SUV? (but not a total gas guzzler)

Your insight is greatly appreciated!
