Benefits of RVing

Did you know that RVs are a very economical way for people to travel?

RV's can be used for family vacations, weekend excursions, long distance travelling, special events or even business trips! Just think of all the money you would be saving without paying out the high costs for lodgings and meals on your vacation and, did I forget to mention that at most RV parks you will find the same amenities as you would find in a hotel, right down to the pool!

Also, with your RV you can eat where you want, park when you want, go where you want, adventure when you want.

As more a more people discover the freedom of RV'ing such as no hotel/airline/restaurant line-ups, or the need to make reservations, people realize they actually have more time to enjoy their passions and interests with both family and friends. The best part is you don't have to leave your pets at home!

And what about the restaurant bills! As an RV'er you have a number of dining choices eat in your RV, cook by the campfire, picnic by the lake, BBQ with friends and family, or even try out the local hot spot, but as an RV'er you definitely have a wider variety of options.

Have you ever really thought about how much money you could save?

Now, have you ever really contemplated the costs of a traditional vacation; just think for a family of 4 going on vacation for a week, staying in nice hotel. eating 3 restaurants meals a day, costs can escalate from $2800 to sky's the limit, and I wasn't even including travelling costs!

As an RV owner, you could save up 50-65% on lodgings! Private RV resort or provincial/national Parks nightly rates range from $6.00-$45.00 depending on what amenities you require, as you can imagine this does cost considerably less than standard hotel lodgings.

Now that you believe you can afford your own RV, just think of all the fun you and your friends and family can have travelling to visit family members or friends across Canada that you haven't seen for a long time, and the best part is that there is no inconvenience to your family or friends, just pull the RV up and plug her in, your home away from home is all set up for you.

New friendships and discoveries are made. On the spur of the moment friends and family can just hop in an RV and go! It's as simple as that.

Travelling

Now the best part is that when family and friends come and visit and have no where to stay, your RV will lend itself to a hotel on wheels.

And during those cold winter months, just pick up your home on wheels and head to a sunny destination, that's how easy it is!

Going on a business trip and want to bring the family, and don't want to incur the additional expenses of accommodations and meals, that's right no problem just hop in your RV and go!

Does your son or daughter have a tournament to attend in another city or town, once again no problem, no hassles with finding hotel availabilities or eating in restaurants, just get in the RV
and go!

 

Connecting with Family & Friends!

When families or friends go Rv'ing something special happens, new bonds are created between the elders and youth.

 

Some of the more popular activities are:

• Heading out to any golf destination or your choice

• Going antique hunting for the weekend

• Seeing your favorite local hockey or baseball team play in another town

• Attending any event such as a Jazz or Comedy festival

• Taking a walk along the ocean

• Fishing at the lake

• Head out for a weekend of skiing

• Spending time with friends and family – have a BBQ

• Discover hidden Vancouver Island treasures

• Going Kayaking

• Taking a hiking trip with the family or friends

Whatever activity you may choose, it's a great way to spend quality time with both friends
and family.

Can we afford an RV?

I know! I know! I can hear the next question! Can we afford an RV? How much is it going to cost us to purchase and RV? Let's put it to you this way if you and the family are going on 2 vacations per year with an average cost of $5600 not including travel costs, and chose to instead invest that money into an RV, you would have about $460.00 per month. You most certainly could be able purchase your own RV, and would probably have money left over to head out to your favorite destination.
