Scouting RV Shows? Find Out If RV Travel Is Right For You

In June 2022, Go RVing hosted a Media Summit at the Harpers Ferry Kampgrounds of America. The event was attended by a diverse group of journalists, including Victor Aziz, an RVer and a correspondent for Taking The Kids, an information resource for family, multi-generational, and group travel. Victor describes below the appeal of RV travel and how to decide if it's right for you. 

As the number of families contemplating RV travel vacations in the outdoors grows, so do the crowds attending RV shows. Living in the United States, we are very lucky to have such varying landscapes, sights, and environments to choose to visit. The only downside is that much of what we desire to see is spread out over large sections of the country.

The appeal to life on the road and, specifically, life in an RV, begins when you think about covering long distances. Shopping at RV shows can lead to many questions about style, features, and price. Most often, these questions boil down to one important one: Can RV travel vacationing (or living for longer periods) in an RV be the right choice for your family?

Try Out The RV Travel Life Before You Commit 

In the past, there were only a few choices for families who didn’t own an RV to travel in one. Recently this has changed.

First, you don’t have to own an RV to camp or travel on the road in one. Even if you’re shopping at RV shows, many of us don’t know what type of RV we want (or if we want one at all.) Platforms like RV Share let us test the waters of life in an RV before committing.

How RVshare And RV Rentals Work 

RV Share works kind of like vacation home rental sites in that it is an outlet where owners of RVs rent out their own rigs. That might mean renting an RV to take on the road (our choice) or having an RV delivered and ready for you at a specific camping destination.

One of the main perks of RV Share is that instead of having a specific type of RV which a rental company has a ton of, travelers rent from owners with an array of makes and models. With a wide range of RVs to choose from, you can begin to think about your family’s camping style. Figure out if you’re called to Vanlife, a tow behind which allows for more adventure capabilities, or a more luxurious motorhome model like a Class A.
