Last year we did our own research and comparison of a RV vacation compared to other types of vacationing.  Now, Go RVing has published a similar finding.

Go RVing has revealed the results of a new Family Vacation Cost Comparison Study, which compares RV vacations with several other vacation modes.  The results reveal that an RV vacation can be up to 78 percent cheaper than other forms of travel. This statistic has increased by three percent since the last study, conducted in 2009.

Several forms of travel were compared and in all cases, RV vacations were more economical than any other type of travel, regardless of trip duration, distance, or region of the country where the vacation took place.

The Study compared an RV vacation with two other popular forms of family vacation: driving the family vehicle and staying at hotels, and traveling by air and rental car with hotel accommodations. All costs associated with a family vacation were analyzed including fuel costs, airfare, restaurant meal cost, grocery cost, rental car cost, campsite cost and hotel/motel cost. It is also important to note that the study also factored in vehicle ownership costs.

The cost benefits of RVing come from the flexibility of cooking in an RV and the affordability of campgrounds, which offer both electric and water hookups.

Not only will a RV save you money on a vacation, it will also provide years of family fun and memories that will last a lifetime.
