Why RV Travel Has Become So Popular
There’s a good reason that RV rentals and purchases are at record highs these days–it’s easier on the wallet for those who want to take the “Great American Road Trip.”
RVIA research shows that RV travel is 21-to-64 percent less expensive than other types of vacations for a family of four that owns an RV, depending on factors such as the type of RV and type of vacation. A two-person travel party saves 8-53 percent. This is partly because you save significantly on hotels and eating out in restaurants, which can cost a fortune for a family.
If you own an RV, you can earn extra income most of the year by renting it online when you’re not using it.
Another reason RV travel is so popular these days is it’s crazy fun! It offers the intimacy, adventure, and connection to nature that tent camping does, but with a lot more convenience and comfort. You can inspire the family to unplug and reconnect through outdoor activities, smore’s making over campfires and experiencing local culture, from offbeat attractions to farmer’s markets.
Here are some additional tips on saving and making money on your next RV road trip journey:

Rent the Right RV
If you don’t own an RV, be sure to rent one that is the right size and amenities for your style and budget. The advantage of peer-to-peer like Mighway is you can see pictures of what you’re getting, see the full amenities and ask questions.
Some owners will allow Fido to go too.
The dinette and sofa turn into a bed but those are usually too short/narrow to sleep two adults. Make sure to pick an RV size that is not too long for the roads you want to use (some parks/roads have length limits). The most popular options are normally Class C and Class B RVs, due to their great maneuverability and spacious interiors for family trips.
