The benefits of RVing (besides great highway smileage)
There are tons of benefits to traveling in an RV, from going places other vehicles don’t dare to keeping family vacations under budget and over-the-top fun. However you vacation, RVing can help you travel on your own terms.
All the Amenities
#RoamOutside without sacrificing comfort
If you have it at home, you can have it in your RV. Gourmet Kitchen? Check! Full-sized bathrooms? Check! Full entertainment system? Washer and Dryer? Extra storage space? Check! Check! Check! From slide-outs that provide extra space at the push of a button, king-size beds, bunk beds for the kids, leather sofas, and even fireplaces, RVs come equipped with a wide range of amenities.
Take the Whole Family
Fur Babies Included!
It’s not a family vacation without the whole family – pets love vacations, too and it's tough for kids to leave their furry friends at home. RVs make stress-free trips for owners who don’t want to board their pets and for the pets who don’t like to be left behind. And, you don't have to worry about finding extra space to store pet food and toys.
Affordability
The Road to Savings
RVs roll travel, accommodations, and meals into one and for less than you might think. An RV vacation can cost a family of four up to 64% less than traditional vacations. Extra storage space means saving on equipment rentals, too, as you can bring along the bikes, skis, kayaks, golf clubs, ATVs, and more. And when you travel with everything, including the kitchen sink, you save on food expenses.

Hear from Real RVers
We run a small video production and software business. The best part is that our work hasn’t suffered, but thrived. We’ve premiered a feature-length documentary, paid off $16k of student debt, hosted a sold-out conference, and I even started a software business from our RV. These aren’t just things we’ve done while traveling, but things that were only possible because we were traveling.
We love having the RV as our office because it means that adventure is just a stone’s throw away.
As a kid, I said that when I retired, I was going to buy an RV and travel the country. And then I finally realized, why do I need to wait until I’m older? How often do you get to live out your life dreams while you’re still young?
I love the freedom that an RV gives me as a single female traveler because I’m able to go wherever I want, whenever I want. No permission needed.
It might sound a little dramatic to say that RVing changed our lives but it really and truly did.
