Did you know that RV vacations cost 26% less than vacations by other modes of transport like public conveyances or private cars? Though that is significant savings on your vacation, there are ways that can help you save further in your RV vacation. Since your RV is the one that will play the most important role in your vacation, since you’ll be doing all your boarding and lodging on it, you’ll have to start your money saving vacation by first attending to your RV first.
Tune your RV for optimum performance by giving it a service before you start off. Check oil levels and your tire pressures. Also don’t forget your RV insurance. A flaw in either or both can add extra strain on your engine, which in turn will increase your gas consumption. Keep Your RV lightweight by packing light, adjust your RV thermostats, take less congested roads or drive only when the roads are less clogged with traffic…these are some ways by which you can increase your mileage and save money on gas.
Camp somewhere in a place that’s not too far away from home and only go for destinations that are far away if it’s absolutely required. Stay in transient or temporary camping sites as against destination camping sites because the former charges much lesser the destination campsites, which are usually located nearer to the attractions. Eat in more and eat less outside; if the intention is to eat out all the time, then you’re better off staying in the city and eating in nice restaurants. Your RV trip is about the outdoors, away from all city related things, so eat in your RV, or better still, cook over a campfire. This way you’ll be saving on fuel bills as well as your food bills. If you tow a car behind you, so you can explore, make sure that you have your auto insurance up to date as well.
If you plan your RV trip right with Expedia coupons, you can make much more savings than the 26% that you’d normally expect to make on your RV road trip. Keep your vehicle road worthy, drive slowly, eat less outside, stick to the general theme of outdoor camp life, and don’t succumb to temptations on the way.
