Go RVing -- Why Buy When You Can Rent It?
"Affordability is a key reason why RV travel appeals so much to families," says David Humphreys, president of RVIA (Recreation Vehicle Industry Association). He adds, "but there are other key reasons to travel by RV, too. RVs are a comfortable, convenient, stress-free way to travel, enjoy the great outdoors, and spend quality time with family."
WHY RENT AN RV OR MOTORHOME?
WHY RENT AN RV OR MOTORHOME?
Many people rent before buying to see if the lifestyle is right for them before making the commitment. Others do not want to invest their money for purchase, insurance, maintenance just to use the RV for a fraction of the year. Many foreign visitors fly to the U.S. and travel in their rented RVs for part or all of their American vacation, generally visiting our national parks and scenic recreation areas. In a similar vein, Americans who live far from their destination and have limited time will find it worthwhile to fly to Phoenix, for example, from Maine, and rent an RV to vacation in the Grand Canyon. For additional fees, the rental company will provide a fully stocked RV so that you can just load in your clothes and family and start your vacation.
