Easy On The Pocket!
You shouldn’t have to spend a lot of money on something called free time.
Owning an RV makes economic sense. You are able to travel while spending significantly less. You have unlimited flexibility, even on a limited budget.
Many RV models allow a family of four to save up to 74 percent on vacation costs over other forms of travel. That’s a calculation that takes into account RV ownership costs, including payments, insurance, maintenance, tires, tax breaks, registration and depreciation.
Want to take your family of four to Orlando for a week? Traveling in a typical family motorhome will cost you 53 percent less than flying, renting a car, staying in a hotel and eating out. A trip to the Grand Canyon in a folding camping trailer will cost 70 percent less than driving and using hotels and restaurants.
PKF Consulting, an international travel and tourism research firm, recently conducted a complete vacation cost analysis. The study found that family RV vacations cost less than travel by personal car, train. Airline, or cruise ship.
Not only do other forms of travel cost more, the outlay typically covers only one vacation. Not so with an RV. It’s ready to go again whenever you are.
It all adds up. RVing gives you the most for your vacation dollars.
“RVing costs less than staying in hotels/motels. We can also cook our own food and save on restaurants.”
-RV owner Brenda Baker, Alexandria, IN
“For the vast majority of RV buyers, the interest on their motorhome or towable unit is deductible at tax time because it qualifies as a second home.”
-Richard Coon, president, Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA)

Buying our motorhome was the best thing my wife and I did last year! We have gotten so much good use out of it and has really saved us more money than we thought. We used to fly all the time, stay in hotels and eat out. The cost of all that didn’t seem like much, but compared to staying in your “house on wheels” really isn’t close. We can get up and leave whenever we want and have made so many RV’ing friends along the way. I highly recommend RV’ing over any form of vacationing.
