The Genius Way To Save On Gas For Your Summer Camping Trip

Now that we’re all free to move about the country again, gas prices are telling us otherwise. Whether towing a camper or driving an RV, skyrocketing gas prices have those with road trips planned this summer thinking again.

But there’s still hope for those who were looking forward to doing a little camping soon! RVshare, the peer-to-peer RV marketplace will deliver an RV to the spot of your choice.

That’s right, the company that brought you all of the fun of an RV without the maintenance and expense of ownership will also bring that RV to you! Not only do you not have to worry about filling up the tank, but you also don’t have to worry about how to tow/drive or park it. They’ll even set up the camper for you, so it’s ready when you are!

Save Money On Fuel With RVshare Delivery

Hillary White, RVshare’s PR manager, tells us how campers are saving money on fuel by using their RV delivery service: “At RVshare, bookings have continued to rise in line with seasonal expectations in March, despite higher fuel prices. Many travelers are considering having their RVs delivered to a campground of their choice or targeting trips closer to home to save money on fuel. March booked trips are on pace to cover 9 percent fewer miles per trip than trips booked in February.

With RV travel, groups and families make memories through the time they spend together and not so much because of how far they venture from home. The average RV trip is around 300 miles, and the average driveable RV gets 10 miles/gallon. So, with fuel prices up $2 a gallon compared to last year, an RV trip will cost an extra $60 this year. While this increased cost is certainly a consideration for groups and families taking RV trips this year, RV travel continues to be a great value travel option compared to flights, cruises, and other travel options.”

Explore Your Own Backyard

Local travel is budget-friendly, but it doesn’t have to be boring. Odds are that there’s a beautiful state park, beach, or cool landmark within a few hours of where you live. Exploring your own backyard has other advantages, too. Not only are you saving money at the pump, but it’s also eco-friendly. Sometimes you can spend a whole day just getting to where you’re going, but planning a trip to somewhere nearby means you can get away quickly, even if its just for the weekend.

Plus, having an RV delivered is much easier to plan than coordinating flights, hotels, and so on. There’s also always the option of renting a stationary RV. This means you stay in the RV wherever it’s parked — whether it be a campground or other cool piece of land or close to a popular event.
