My husband and I are considering RVing in the near future. We love to travel, but while working RVing has not been possible. There is so much of America we want to explore and think this would be a great way to go. We have always owned a truck and trailer for many week and weekend camping trips and a few long trips over the years. Now we would like to venture on longer trips, staying in areas along the way for several days and maybe even weeks.
Some of my questions to you experienced RVrs - Am I dreaming to think I can travel up the California coast staying in RV parks or national parks and seeing the sights? Will it be extremely cost prohibitive in camparison to taking a 2-3 week road trip in a car, staying in motels?
I can truly see us taking a 3-4 month RV trip to the east coast, parking the trailer and exploring an area for a week at a time. Am I missing an important detail here?
Thank you for your advice.
Depends. IF you plan on staying in a $35.00 per night motel, in an out of the way location. Then the car, and motel will be less expensive. However. IF you plan on staying near popular sight seeing towns, Where rooms run to the hundreds of dollars per night. Then you may want to do the RV thing.
Lots of advantages to the trailer. Cost is one, Your own bed, kitchen, and bathrooms are others.
