RV Vacation Cost
How does the cost of an RV Vacation compare to a vacation package including car, airfare, and hotel?
According to the leading tourism firm PFK Consulting, when vacationing by RV, a family of four can spend up to 74 percent less compared to other vacations.
Traveling by RV or pulling a camper even with fuel prices on the rise is typically less expensive than purchasing airfare, care rental, and hotel cost. An average campground space rental per day is approximately $27 (twenty-seven dollars) compared to an average hotel cost of $125 (one hundred twenty-five dollars) per night. That is a savings of approximately 73% in sleeping accommodations.
In addition to sleeping accommodations, there are fuel cost for rental vehicles, airfare cost, and restaurant cost.
If you are traveling by RV or pulling a camper your cost will include fuel cost, campground space rental, activities, and food cost for pre-planned meals that you will prepare in your RV.
The money you save traveling on an RV vacation can be used to enjoy all the activities planned on your vacation. In addition, another benefit is the outdoor activities your family can participate in free while staying at a clean and friendly campground.
