This year, many of us are looking forward to our summer vacation even more than usual. After spending weeks cooped up inside, we are ready to stretch our legs and breathe in that sweet fresh air. But with so much uncertainty still swirling around regarding the safety of traveling, people are hesitant to jump onto a crowded plane, or stay in the close quarters of a hotel or cruise ship.
That’s where RVs come in.
RV travel is the perfect way to enjoy your vacation in a safe and self-contained way. They allow you to travel, eat and sleep all onboard, which means limited interactions with others. You can enjoy your time out in nature with your family or close friends and even your pets, and feel confident while doing so. Here are 10 reasons why renting an RV should be at the top of your summer to-do list:
1. More control: Taking a road trip gives you a little more control over your vacation. You are only traveling with the people you bring along, and you have all your necessities in your vehicle with you, meaning fewer stops along the way.
2. Avoid crowds: Skip the close quarters of airplanes, cruise ships, hotels, and restaurants by sleeping, eating and entertaining all on board your RV.
3. Affordability: After the loss of many jobs during COVID-19, affordable vacations such as an RV trip that rolls a method of travel, place to sleep, and kitchen into one is more appealing
4. Local travel: Many people are in no rush to cross the country for their summer trips, not to mention deal with the various state quarantine rules, and an RV is the perfect way to explore your own backyard!
5. Enjoy the outdoors: After all that time spent inside, reconnecting with nature is just what many of us need. An RV can place you right in the thick of mother nature, with all the comforts of home still closeby.
6. Make memories: Sitting around the campfire or going on an epic hike is what memories are made of. With an RV trip, the experience alone is half the fun!
7. Quick getaways: RV trips are great for a long weekend trip! If you aren’t quite ready for an extended vacation, enjoying an RV for just a few nights still packs in the fun.
8. Bring your pet along: Many RV rentals even allow your furry family members to come aboard! Don’t worry about finding a pet sitter and Fido missing out on the adventure.
9. Great for kids: Let’s be serious, you could park an RV in the driveway and the kids would love it! Trying something new is so fun for the little ones, not to mention convenient.
10. Get off the grid: RVing is the perfect way to truly unplug from the day to day. Hiking, fishing, swimming, boating and more are just steps away from your door.
