RV Vacations Are Least Expensive, Study Shows
I caught this press release about a study showing that, like the title says, family vacations in RV's are less expensive than taking cars, when hotels and restaurants are taken into account. That's certainly true for us; our recent 9-day trip to Oregon cost us about $1,000 ($630 for gas, $200 for campsites, $130 for food). For a family of five, the train would have been $900 and airfare would have been $1,600. In both of those cases, we would have had to rent a car, stay in hotels and eat in restaurants. Had we driven the car, instead of towing it behind our RV, the fuel cost would have dropped to $300, but for 9-days we surely would have spent more than that on food and lodging.
This picture was taken at Valley of the Rogue State Park, which is a nice half-way point for us to overnight when traveling between Oregon and California.
