RVing is cheaper than staying at hotels and motels

Any family knows how expensive it can be paying for hotels and motels on a vacation or weekend trip. And the cost of meals and snacks at restaurants for everyone in the family starts to add up. The RVing family is spared all these expenses. They can travel in high season, when hotel rooms are at a premium, knowing they will have their own great accommodation and home cooking.

Even allowing for the cost of the RV – you save

A family of four can save anywhere between 50% and 70% over the cost of other forms of vacation travel, depending on the RV model. And this includes all RV ownership costs: leasing payments, insurance, maintenance, tires and registration. And you still come out ahead, when you compare a week's vacation for 4 in an RV, with the costs of flights, car rental, hotels and eating out at restaurants. The savings are really big.

Save on meals by preparing your own food

Meals day after day at restaurants or fast-food places can really get costly. But with your own kitchen in the RV, you can cook all your favorite meals, have that early morning cup of tea when you wake, and heat up some hot soup when everyone comes home cold and wet. Best of all will be the hamburgers Dad cooks on the barbecue on the riverbank, or by the seashore. The wonderful smell! Nothing will ever taste quite so good.

Weekend trips won't cost an arm and a leg

You will be surprised how little a weekend fishing trip will cost, or a special journey to an open-air concert. Soon you will start to use the RV more and more, not just in the summer, but other seasons too. In the Fall to go rock climbing, in the winter to go ice-fishing, in the spring to visit a flower show in another city. Howabout taking the kids to the famous Science North Museum? Your RV will be your transportable cottage, so weekends need never be dull, boring or costly.

Have more money to spend on yourselves

Every day you will be saving on meals. Your accommodation is your RV. You don't have to rent a car. So now you can spend on yourselves – and pursue your passions. Play another round of golf, visit that giant waterpark with the kids, have a special meal and treat everyone to fresh seafood, right out of the sea. Or maybe you have been saving for that special antique or collectible you have been hunting for. So treat yourself.
