Unless you’ve had a family member or close friend expose you to the RV experience, it can be difficult to speculate if an RV vacation is right for you. It is a special American tradition that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. However, it takes a special breed to RV regularly, even become vehicle owners.
Take a look at these five indicators that mean it is about time you took an RV vacation.
Dislike Flying
Commercial air travel isn’t for everyone. Flights are pricey and the cost of a ticket buys less and less each year. If baggage fees and restrictions, cramped knees and sinus headaches aren’t for you, an RV trip may be the answer. On the road, travellers experience more than just the destination. Every mile along the way is a part of the vacation.
Enjoy Driving
Maybe you don’t mind flying that much, but every stretch of open road on your drive home from work is like a mini-holiday for you. Vacations are about freedom and enjoyment. If you are the type that gets those thrills from being behind the wheel, then the adjustments to RV operating should be smooth and gratifying.
Lengthy To-Do List
If your must-see, gotta-do-it checklist seems too long, an RV vacation is a viable way to accomplish multiple goals in one trip. Many West Coast locations offer options ranging from beaches to deserts, museums to amusement parks, sporting events, national wonders, and so much more. If your travel crew just has to see it all, it’s worth going the RV route.
Opposed to Itineraries
For some people, a vacation is about spontaneity. The confines of a cruise ship itinerary or the schedules of a limited resort just don’t jive with the concept of vacation. RV travelling provides complete autonomy. The road is yours and each decision is your call.
Great Outdoors
Those attracted to campfires and a night sky blanket of stars will truly appreciate the options afforded by an RV vacation. Whether lodging in your vehicle, or setting up the tents alongside your RV, the ability to build a versatile, memorable campsite is perfect for the vacationer that loves the great outdoors.
If any of these notes strike a chord, check out some campsites in regions you’d like to visit. Find some sites along the route that pique your interest. With just a small bit of planning, in no time flat you’ll begin to get the appeal of the RV vacation.
