According to GoRVing.com, 38% of RVers will use their vehicle over the holidays ~ 6% higher than last year. RVers are parking their vehicle in a relative's driveway or a local RV campground, allowing for 'togetherness' with the extended family and some breathing room for everyone.
Here are a few reasons why RV travel is growing in popularity during the holidays:
- No hassles waiting in the security lines at the airport or figuring what out to do when your flight gets delayed or cancelled
- You can bring all the comforts of home (favorite pillows and blankets, cribs, toys and bicycles)
- An extra kitchen to prepare favorite dishes for the holiday meal
- Plenty of room to pack clothes and holiday gifts without any extra shipping or baggage charges
- More room to spread out; everyone gets their own comfy bed
- A place to escape for a respite from the holiday stress to watch a movie or give the little one a quiet place to nap
- You can easily bring the family pet instead of boarding Rover in a kennel
