The cost of traveling is getting more expensive. Here's a cheaper way to take your family on vacation.
With the cost of air travel, hotels and rental cars constantly rising, a family vacation is getting more expensive. Many families have turned to buying or renting an RV and enjoying more than just saving money.
The reasons you go RVing are the same reasons you take any vacation: to get a break from the daily routine, to be with family and friends, to rest, to relax, to see new places and to try new things. The difference between RVing and other types of vacations is that RVing allows you to truly achieve all those goals -- and more.
RV owners surveyed by Harris Interactive cited escaping the routine of the everyday world, enjoying nature and resting, and relaxing and recharging their batteries as the main reasons for taking RV trips.
Imagine hassle-free travel! With RVing, there are no flights to catch, no security hassles, no long lines or lost luggage and no hauling heavy bags in or out of costly hotel rooms. Plus no expensive, unhealthy food, or strange bedrooms, bathrooms or kitchens.
It's fun...and affordable. Owning an RV makes economic sense. You are able to travel while spending significantly less. You have unlimited flexibility, even on a limited budget. Depending on the type of RV that you own, a family of four can save up to 59% on vacation costs over other forms of travel, and a couple can save up to 47%. That's after factoring in RV ownership costs, including payments, insurance, maintenance, tires, tax breaks, registration and depreciation.
No pet left behind! Unlike most family vacations where the four-legged members get left behind, RVers can take everyone with them for a true family vacation while saving pets and owners from boarding stress and expense. It's estimated that 48% of the nation's eight million RV owners travel with their pets, with dogs topping the list. Family pets are widely welcomed at many campgrounds.
