Basic Guide To Budget Travel In An RV

Basic Guide To Budget Travel In An RV

The sales of recreational vehicles have really been on fire lately, as more and more people discover the high level of freedom, and low level of cost, that an RV vacation can provide.

As air travel becomes more of a hassle, and the cost of hotel stays continues to rise, many people are discovering the convenience of taking their hotel room with them wherever they go.

The attraction of a recreational vehicle, of course, is that it provides the budget traveler with the freedom to go where he or she wants, whenever they want to go there.

An RV frees the traveler on a budget from rigid schedules, lines at airport security, restrictions on luggage, and so much more.

And with over 15,000 RV parks and campgrounds dotting the country, there is bound to be one wherever you want to go.

And many RV’s have all the amenities of home, including living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. Many RV’s also have rooms that slide out to provide even more living space when the vehicle is parked.

There are some important tips for first time RV’ers to follow to get the biggest bang for their travel buck. Some of our favorite tips for a low cost and hassle free RV trip include:

- Hit the web for tons of free information on living the RV lifestyle and keeping costs under control. There are a great many web sites and newsgroups dedicated to recreational vehicles, and they can provide valuable tips for those newcomers.

- Try renting an RV before you buy one. The purchase of a recreational vehicle is a big decision, and one that is likely to have a major impact on your lifestyle, especially on how you vacation.

- With the average RV costing as much as the average house did a couple of decades ago, it is important to know that an RV is the right decision before taking the plunge.

- There are a number of places that rent RV’s, and these rental agencies can provide a low cost alternative to RV ownership, or a way to try it before you buy it.

- Do your research. If you do decide to buy an RV, be sure to research the buyer’s guides, and read the reviews on the internet. Doing so will allow you to get the most RV for your money.

- Visit a couple of RV dealers, and attend an RV show. RV shows are great ways to see a wide range of models quickly, and it is often possible to strike some very good deals at these events.

- Do the math to be sure an RV is right for you. An RV makes sense for a great many people, particularly families traveling together. RV travel can be significantly less costly than travel by car or plane. Fees for campgrounds are considerably lower than hotel room rates, and this can really trim the travel budget.

- Be sure to inset in a quality guide to RV campgrounds. Knowing where the campgrounds are, and having good directions for getting there, will save you lots of hassle, as well as gas money.

    The best answer to all of your questions is this: It ALL depends on where you are going and on YOUR SPECIFIC teardrop.
    As for what your teardrop is capable of doing? I would do forum searches based on the make, model and year. Yahoo has an awesome one: RV Basics. I would start there.
    As for park costs? When traveling in an RV (teardrop, 5th wheel, Class A or B) whether or not a site has electrical, water, and sewer hook-ups is usually directly proportional to how established the park is. Some places offer everything you might need, right down to a gym, locker rooms with showers, and a laundry facility on the premises. Some offer nothing and you are self-reliant for water and electricity based on a clean water tank and generator.
    Cost is completely dependent on the site…some charge monthly electrical and water fees and each site has its own meters, some charge a flat rate that is included in your daily/weekly/monthly charge. Again, the more established the park the greater the chances these charges and quality of amenities go up. Bottom line: Each park has its own set of rules and fees. I suggest checking this site for resources too: http://www.exceldistributors.com/resources.html

    It really depends on the park.

    Usually there are only on-lot hookup for waste when they are permanent trailers. i.e. park models…

    Most parks have a dump station, where you either drive your RV to dump, or haul the 'honey bucket' to dump it.

    Make life easier… only use the RV's toilet for having a squirt (unless it's an 'emergency')… and do other 'business' at the park's public washrooms. Saves you trips to the dump site and helps with the smell and clean up.

    Rancho Jurupa is probably your best bet. Since they only allow two weeks at a time, you can simply roll out, and roll in, for a new rental period. If you are nice to the manager, they probably won't make you go to that extreme, and you can simply renew every two weeks.

    Good luck!

    Well, I live in Long Beach and the RV park called Golden Shore is 700 to 1300 a month. My parents lived in a mobile home park for many years, though not in an RV. It was called Del Amo Mobile Home Park and there were people who had RVs who lived there. Here is a link to addresses and phone numbers for several mobile home parks in Long Beach. Some may not take RVs, and of course the prices will vary. Del Amo wasn't fancy but it wasn't pricey either. My parents lived there until they died a few years ago.

    ITs possible that a few do, becasue I have heard this before. I've been RV'ing since 2000 and haven't run into any park that did. I really don't think that you'll have a problem. Buy the Trailer Life Directory so that you can call ahead of time and find out. http://www.trailerlife.com/
