Benefits Of New And Used RV Travel
RV travel is expected to be on the rise this summer. A number of factors are adding up to see Americans enjoying their time off in RVs as opposed to hotels. Over 8.2 million households own an RV reports RVIA. With prices of hotel and airfare seeming excessive to many travelers, RVing and camping are quickly taking the place of overseas vacations.
RVIA had a survey conducted to gauge the amount of travel RV enthusiasts are expected to do and the reasons behind it. What they found was nearly half of RV owners are expecting to use their RV more than last spring and summer. 41% of current new and used RV owners claim they will spend the same amount of time on the road this year as last year.
For families who have invested in an RV, taking vacations with helps pay off their investment. Each trip saves them money and gives them long lasting memories of the places they’ve explored and the people they met. People with dietary restrictions, or those who like to travel with pets have it made traveling in an RV. There’s really nowhere you can’t go. You can cook what you like, pack what you like and pick up and go on a whim.
Even though the worst of the recession appears to be fading away, people are still conscious about how much money they spend. Most people are spending unadventurously which makes vacations within the US and closer to home more sensible. Cooking meals in the RV saves money so does paying for a night in a campground vs. renting a hotel room.
The majority of RV enthusiasts believe that RV vacations result in more active vacations than other types of vacations and with 71% of RV owners say they will visit National Parks this summer. With National Parks offering fee-free weekends, it’s an added incentive to travel by RV.
Baby boomers are retiring and buying an RV is one way to get out and explore in a way they weren’t able to when they were tied to a forty hour a week job. People who have been laid off are getting out more as well and spending their time exploring the outdoors. Trails are packed with people checking off life-list opportunities while they can.
If you’re feeling the itch to RV, you aren’t the only one. Campgrounds have been expanding and updating their facilities with all sorts of amenities for campers. Wellness centers, fitness centers, golfing, fishing and more can all be had at today’s campgrounds. There are also more and more eco-friendly campgrounds popping up.
This summer will hopefully see families, couples and solo explorers hitting the road in new and used motorhomes. If you haven’t tried it, traveling by RV is an experience you can’t afford to miss. It’s a unique way to see the country and interact with people from all over.
