RV Travel Is A Great And Cost Effective Alternative To Booking Flights And Hotels

Travelers chose RVs and road trips during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic which allowed them to travel while practicing social distancing. RVs allowed people to take road trips and travel at a time when air travel was restricted. The vehicles are great for camping and exploring the outdoors and they come with beds and bathrooms.

Two years later and Americans are still fans of RV travel, this time as an alternative to booking a hotel.

“The demand for RV’s are still pretty high. It has tapered off somewhat but people still want to vacation,” says William Schams, General Manager at PleasureLand RV Center to ABC News 19.

How long do people rent RVs?

Travelers commonly rent RVs for long weekend trips from Thursday to Sunday and seven-day trips during the week. Since the pandemic, there has been an increase in 14-day rentals.

When looking for a rental, ask for a Class C. These vehicles are spacious and ideal for groups and families. Most people book Sprinter vans and Airstreams when renting. 

If you’re nervous about driving a bigger vehicle, it’s best to stick with a Class C or B.

How do I book an RV?
