RVs are a Perfect Option for Road Trips and Getaways

What are the Benefits of Using an RV for a Road Trip?

With the cold winter conditions creeping up on us, vacations are starting to come to everyone’s mind. But while our focus is usually on the destination, the mode of transportation for the journey is an important question to ask first. Road trips are great ways to create memories, but a bad driving experience can ruin the whole trip. So what are the benefits to using an RV for a road trip?

Advantages of an RV’s Larger Size

RVs are much larger than any other traditional vehicle, and with it lies the most comfort. Often times we have to stop during our trips to get up to stretch and move around a little or go to the bathroom. With the convenience of an RV, passengers can get up and walk around freely and go where they please. Being able to change your position during a road trip can do wonders for enjoying your trip in the most comfortable way.

And speaking of comfort, many RVs offer beds and couches, helping you save money on hotel costs. Of course, all this comfort can come at the expense of fuel efficiency, but while an SUV might have better fuel economy, many will find that the extra space offered in an RV is worthwhile.

What if I get Hungry on a Road Trip?

We’ve all been there. Jamming our bags and suitcases with snacks for the trip, but usually creating a mess in the process.

RVs often offer many common appliances that bring the comforts of home with you on the road such as refrigerators, pantries, stoves and microwaves to hold and heat all of your meals. Many also have dining room tables for you to comfortably enjoy your food with family or friends.

How Much Cargo Space Does an RV Have Compared to an SUV?

So many times we have to battle for seating space with our bags. While SUVs often have ample storage space, it pales in comparison to the space an RV has. After all, an RV is already decked out with cabinets and other storage compartments that take up little interior space.

Moreover, you can either bring some of your items on the RV with you, or store all of your suitcases and backpacks in the storage compartments on the side of the RVs. This way, your gear will be safely tucked away and out of your way, whereas storing luggage in an SUV can sometimes infringe upon passenger volume.
