Recreational Vehicle (RV) Sales on the Rise
By: David Chandler

As the baby boomers retire the recreational vehicle industry has seen an upsurge in sales. For many people nothing measures up to the independence and flexibility of enjoying the open road in a recreational vehicle (RV). There is certainly much to be said for taking your hotel with you wherever you go and the savings on hotel costs can more than pay for the initial cost of an RV.

RV travelers realize the cost savings of this type of travel. There are no hotel rooms to book and dining in your RV can save an enormous amount of money compared to eating in restaurants every day. Owning a fifth wheel or travel trailer whereas you can unhook your RV from your truck saves you from having to book a rental car. For those in motor homes many travelers will tow a vehicle behind them.

When considering the purchase of an recreational vehicle you will be faced with three choices; a fifth wheel which is pulled by a pick up truck and attaches to a wheel inside the truck box (hence its name fifth wheel) a travel trailer which is usually pulled by a truck with a rear hitch or a motor home. All three types of RVs have their pros and cons and each point will need to be considered based upon your needs and your budget. Other consideration for the RV lifestyle is the price of gas. However it is still more economical than staying in hotels and eating at restaurants every night.

Traveling in a recreational vehicle or motor home is often a good choice for those who want to travel to different locations; however it may be less suited to those who visit the same location year after year. Travelers who visit the same location every year may find it more economical to buy a vacation home. Buying a vacation home and renting it out when it is not being used can be a good way to both save money on lodging and build equity for the future.

Many RV travelers come to love the freedom of the open road and the easy care lifestyle. Traveling crosscountry and stopping a various parks along the way is a wonderful adventure. The traveler can choose to stay a day or as long as they want at a particular location.

A wellknown fact in the RV community is the free camping at Walmart. In most states you are allowed to camp in a Walmarts parking lot for as long as you like. I am sure you have seen recreational vehicles lined up in Walmarts parking lot at least on one occasion. This is a winwin situation for the traveler and Walmart. The traveler has a welllit place to camp for the night at no cost and Walmart receives income from those RV owners who frequent the store. However recently there has been an uprising among campground owners against Walmarts free camping policy. Therefore it is well advised that you check with the local chamber of commerce before you decide to stay a week at Walmart.
