Impact of fuel prices on travel

We have now decided to cancel any plans on long range RV travel for the foreseeable future! Still have some plans for trips within 200 miles but the rest is now on hold. Looks like fuel costs and availability has caused me to lose confidence in being able to get home!! The bubble may have busted on the run a way demand for RV's. Wish I had not spent all this money on a new 5th wheel and tow vehicle!!!!!

    We have a 7 to 9 week zig zagging cross country BC to Quebec City tour in the planning stages. Lots of relatives to visit and terminating in Quebec City. Starting after the may long weekend and terminating in old town Quebec. Our tow vehicle is electric so the gas prices won’t have direct affects. The indirect affects of everything from food to campgrounds will still apply. We are starting to think that finding campgrounds won’t be a problem. And the highways might be quieter. Guess we’ll see. Like a Bgum, we downsized. Now in an 18 foot teardrop type trailer. Cosy. :).

    Stay safe out there. Remember, you can’t take it with you.

    Cheers all.
    Your tow vehicle is electric?? I don't understand how this will work even with a teardrop. Towing anything uses more power according to what I have read. Show a picture or description of your rig.

  • There will be many in your situation. This is why we down sized until we got too small then upsized one notch. Didn't really need the larger RV and smaller is easier to manage.
