No matter where you may want to travel or what your vacation needs may be there is more than 16,000 campgrounds spread across America that can full fill your fantasies. Not only is traveling in a RV a great way to see the country at an affordable price, but there is no better way to meet new and exciting people. In addition, RV travel gives you the chance to enjoy the great outdoors while having the comforts of your home.

There are several options when looking for an RV. It starts with a camper that will fit right into the back of your pickup truck. This type of camper will have a bed, kitchen, and maybe a few other amenities. Next up is the Class B, which is nothing but a converted van to accommodate camping, with about the same amenities as the truck camper. The class C and class a motor home come in a variety of sizes and will have all the amenities of your home. About the only difference will be how much room you want to have. The travel trailer and fifth wheel is for the person who wants to pull their RV behind them. The big advantage of these two, are they cost less than the motor homes, yet they carry the same amenities and they also can be purchased in a variety of sizes and styles.

An advantage of owning your RV is being able to keep it stocked and ready for the next trip. No worries about forgetting anything this way. RV vacations allow for more flexibility in where you may want to go and stay. Also, it will allow you to change your destination at a moment’s notice, as long as you are not trying to get into a very popular place in peak season, if you do, this could cause a problem. In addition, vacationing in an RV can actually improve on families bonds. A stocked RV also allows for that last minute decision to get away for the weekend, travel when you want, and go to any location you so may choose without the stress and worries of inflexible schedules of other forms of transportation.

Although the initial cost can be pretty big, the saving will add up as your travels increase. For example, a family can stay in a campground two to three nights for the cost of a one night hotel stay. Besides this, the meals can be prepared right at the campground for the same cost, if not cheaper as being at home. It may take a few camping trips before you realize what it will take to have you RV completely stocked.

Want to be popular with the family, pull into a rest area, take out your outdoor camping grill, lite it and cook your lunch right by your RV and sit at the picnic table and eat. What a way to travel.
