RV Travel is the Best! Here is Why

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

It is becoming more popular for people to ditch fancy hotels and flights and opt to travel by a good old RV. You can hire an RV, or you can get your own and renovate the insides and turn it into something unique to you. 

If you are an avid traveler, then you might be wondering why RV travel is the best way to travel. 

It used to be that RVs were associated with retired people and larger families. However, that isn’t the case anymore. A quick browse of the many RV and VanLife hashtags on Instagram will show you how many people have gotten creative wither their RVs and how much of the world opens up to you when you travel on wheels.

Here are some of the reasons that RV travel is brilliant:

Money
When you book a hotel, you have a nightly cost, and you need to pay for meals out or the addition on your hotel tab for food. The RV cuts the cost on the need for a hotel; all you are going to need is gas and groceries - which works out much cheaper. You can find many RV parks online, and there are even wild camping phone apps that can help you find places to plug in overnight and, in many cases, for free. 

Harvest Hosts has a membership cost. It’s $40 for the year it’s worth it. You can stay as long as the host allows, and some even offer hookups. 

Your RV spot may be free, but you can bring gifts with you for the owner. 

Home from Home
If you want to take your dog? No problem. Cat? Sure. What about your favorite pillows and blankets? There is room for all of that in your RV. The one thing you might consider is upgrading your mattress; there are some companies that specialize in luxurious, affordable, and comfortable RV mattresses - learn more about their RV mattresses for sale

All of your creature comforts get to come with you on the road. So you get to enjoy all of the new sights in a new place, with everything that makes you feel like you at home. Pretty cool, right?

Flexibility
If you book planes, trains, and a hotel, you are tied into a specific itinerary. This can be great for some people; others, however, want to freedom to head to different places and make spur of the moment decisions. You can go where you want when you want to, and that is another reason that RV travel is incredible. 

You can stop in numerous places for as long as you like. You can check out the local street food markets, the best butchers in town, and if you see there is a festival in the next city - you can head there too. 

RV travel is freeing, affordable, and gives you the chance to catch a sunrise, wrapped in your own blanket with your dog next to you - if you want to. You can make a list of places you want to visit and add more on to the agenda, truly making your own adventure.
