Summer isn’t over yet. You’ve still got plenty of time to invest in some great summer activities and one of the biggest--and potentially best--investments you can make is in an RV. Even though you’re going to be dropping quite a bit of money, most people are able to reap the benefits in a way that makes it completely worth it. So what are these benefits that make it worthwhile to spend that kind of money? That’s what Cedar City RV wants to help you figure out. We’ve provided some great reasons for owning an RV so you can let us know if you’re ready to dive into the deep end. If you’re still hesitant, consider stopping by our locations in Lebanon and Smithville, Tennessee and we’ll help you iron out some of the kinks. We also serve Nashville. 

 Financial Savings

For any trip, you’re going to need to budget out your spending money and figure out how to afford some of the most essential parts of travel, like where to sleep and what to eat. The costs can add up, but if you’re willing to pay the steeper initial price, RVs can save you a lot of money in the long run. 

For starters, there’s the savings you get on hotels. Paying for an RV site can be significantly cheaper than paying for a hotel room, especially if your family is big enough that you’d need to rent two rooms. There’s also the money you’ll save on food. Rather than going out to eat for every meal, a lot of foods can be stored and prepared in the kitchen that comes with the rig. Finally, you’ll have unlimited access to outdoor entertainment, so you won’t have to spend money on amusement parks or other expensive attractions. Even the money you spend on things like National Parks won’t be on the same level as man-made hot spots. 

Bring Along your Pets

RVs can be an easy way to bring even the furrier members of your family along. Travel can be stressful for animals, no matter what, but they can be particularly distraught by planes or busses. Many hotels will charge extra for animals, if they allow them at all. An RV can give them a place to stretch and roam around and many campgrounds are pet friendly. You might even want to look for ones with dog parks so your dog can run around untethered in a controlled environment. This way, you can also bring them along to explore the incredible scenery and views of the region you want to explore. 

Social Benefits

Camping is often a social event. Whether you’re camping with family or friends, enjoying the outdoors as a group can be much more entertaining than experiencing them alone. With an RV, you can give your camping party their own place to relax without asking them to bring along their own gear. 

You can also use your camper to host parties and events, like a tailgating party. They give you the space you need to entertain and host these kinds of events, as well as a way to provide food, supplies, and general home comforts like a bathroom. Not to mention a television for watching games. 

On top of all that, RVers form a large, tight knit community, both in the campgrounds and on the internet. Becoming part of this community can put you in direct contact with more experienced campers, or even people who simply have some great ideas on how to travel in your RV. You might even become so friendly with another RVer that you make a lifelong travel companion.
