Who doesn’t love a good road trip, especially when it involves traveling in the comfort of an RV? Here are 10 of the reasons why our heart beats for hitting the road in an RV.
1. Stuck in traffic? No big deal
When you’re in an RV, you have everything you need at all times: bathroom, kitchen, living room complete with sofa and television—so your passengers won’t be too bummed out if you get stuck traffic for a while.
2. Sleeping in your own bed every night
After a long day of outdoor fun, there’s nothing better than sleeping in your own bed and laying your head on your own pillow. No stuffy hotel rooms to worry about, no getting used to a mattress that’s too firm or soft, and no wondering whether the sheets are really clean!
3. The things money can’t buy
Not even the finest five-star hotel can beat a 5 billion-star hotel.
4. It’s about the journey as much as the destination
Cliché, but true. RVs take road trips to a whole new level.

Being in an RV means being self-sufficient. Big storm knocked out the campground’s power? Not a problem. You have lights that run off of battery power, a gas-powered generator to run your air conditioner, and you probably have a propane heater, water heater, stove, and oven. In an RV, the adventure continues, no matter what Mother Nature throws at you.
6. Free and cheap places to stay
Speaking of being self-sufficient, all of that independence comes in handy when staying in uncharted territory that doesn’t include running water or electric hookups. Looking for free or cheap places to camp? Check out our post here.

‘Nuff said.
8. Cooking and dining al fresco
At the end of the day, nothing beats a hot meal cooked over the fire or grill outside your RV, campervan, or airstream.
9. Pets welcome
That means your furry best friend won’t be left behind!
10. Your options are endless
