Traveling in an RV has distinct advantages and benefits over other kinds of travel and accommodations making RV travel the way to go! Many families are adjusting their travel plans for the coming months as they try to avoid confined spaces and large crowds, and this is just one of the many benefits that RV travel provides. If you haven’t already discovered the joys of RV traveling, here are just a few of the reason why you should travel:

Advantages of RV Travel

  • Flexibility: Feel like lingering at an attraction or extending your stay another night? No need to worry about missed flights or hotel reservations! If you are looking to have the most flexible vacation possible, RV travel is a good choice for you.
  • Pet friendly: You can take your furry friends with you and forego the hassle of boarding kennels and have peace of mind that your pets are safe with you.
  • Convenience: Without luggage restrictions you don’t have to worry about overpacking and can bring all the comforts of home on your travels! Having a restroom available 24/7 is another convenience. And since you clean the inside of your RV – you know it’s clean. Gas stations and roadside bathrooms can often be dirty, and this way you don’t have to worry about those germs.
  • The view/ spending time in the outdoors: America’s national parks and backroads boast some of the most breathtaking scenery (Checkout our camping guides by state here) and traveling in an RV provides the best view to savor it.
  • Save money: According to money.com, the daily cost of a traditional vacation for food and lodging is $181 a day, while the daily cost for food and lodging in an RV is $55 a day for vacations in your own RV. Also, according to the RVIA (The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association) even once you factor in the costs of RV ownership, a family of four can spend up to 59 percent less when traveling by RV.
  • Avoid the crowds: RV travel is a great way to get some peace and quiet and avoid large crowds or crowded and congested areas. According to RV Industry News, the sentiment of RVers feeling safe and in control of their travel plans is a widespread feeling.
  • Family bonding: Modern life can be so hectic; many RV owners’ favorite part of RV travel is getting the opportunity to connect with their children and having quality time to spend as a family.

Bobby Cornwell, the President and CEO of the Alabama and Florida Associations of RV Parks and Campgrounds says that " RVing has always been considered the most flexible form of vacationing, allowing families to tailor their experience. It is obviously a very safe form of vacation since you are protected by your own home on wheels."
