Hotel check-ins, airport transfers, car rentals, the whole travel routine sometimes feels more like a chore and can put a real dampener on your vacation. From watching the clock so you’re not late for your transfers, so you don’t miss your flight, to making sure you’ve checked out in time, it can be stress-inducing, and that’s before we even broach the subject of your luggage arriving where and when you need it to.

But there’s another way. And it’s not some hushed secret that people whisper about in closed circles. In fact, it’s an option that is proudly shared across the world. RV travel. The perfect option for skipping the queues and logistics, and puts you firmly in control.

Let’s take a closer look at why your next trip should be in an RV.

Your Stuff Goes Where You Go

One of the benefits of RV travel is that there’s no wondering where your stuff is or if it’s safe. It’s right there with you, and your RV can be locked when you’re not on board. There’s no packing or unpacking each night or wondering where you can buy the good snacks. You can buy what you want and take it with you.

And let’s not forget that if you have your own RV, at the end of a long day of sightseeing or hiking, there’s no reception desks to sneak on by or key cards to deal with, you simply head back to your vehicle and relax in style.

Travel Without the Timetable

Flights run on a schedule, and hotels have strict check-in and check-out times. Even on tours you book, you’re moved from one place to another on a rigid timetable, so they don’t run over. However, RV travel is completely the opposite. You can go where you want when you want, and you choose where you stop and how long you stay.

Sure, it’s advised to book your RV Parks ahead of time, and these will have rules as to when you need to leave and arrive, but for the most part, especially if you’re not staying at a campground, you make the rules.

The Journey Actually Matters

Sure, planes take you to the skies and through the clouds to deliver you to far-flung international destinations, but where’s the fun in that? You don’t actually see anything. With an RV, you get to see where you’re going, and the journey is part of the adventure. Wind the windows down, turn the radio up, and take in the open road ahead.

From busy highways to scenic back routes and coastal drives in your RV, you choose how to get from A to B, meaning your route becomes part of the trip, and is absolutely more satisfying than air travel.

Cheaper Than You Think

Booking flights, hotels, transfers, paying to eat out, tours, etc., all add up, and when you’re planning the perfect vacation, your funds can drain before you’ve even gotten the confirmation emails. But campsites? They cost less than hotel rooms, buying food to take with you is easier and cheaper than finding places to eat out every meal, and you don’t need a rental car or flights because you’re driving in your accommodation, it’s in the same set of wheels.

And sure, fuel costs can add up, and you do need to pay for things like RV parks and campgrounds or to buy food and toilet rolls, but on the whole, RV travel is drastically cheaper than other travel options.
