Gas Prices Affecting RVers?

We're not going to stop vacationing because we need family time...

The same discussion repeats itself frequently... I'm going to post it here to try and get some feedback. This is how I see it>

** Are gas prices affecting the sale and use of RVs? **

Let's break this out - figure the basic costs of a weekend away for a family of 4 - there's hotel costs (basic rate + extra per additional person), meals (restaurant or at an attraction), and gas or airline costs to get everyone there.

The RV alternative is RV Park charge (per RV rather than per person), groceries and gas to get the RV and family there. Even with fuel prices up, an RV Vacation still saves 50 - 75%! With the increase in gas prices, a vacation 200 miles away on average will only be approx. $25 more than last year... Twenty-five dollars... Should $25 stop you and your family from escaping the stresses of life in these harder times? In my opinion, my health and the quality of family time is worth the additional $25.

The cost savings of the same vacation by RV as in hotels makes vacationing more of a reality for most families. More often than not, these RV vacations end up being more comfortable, more relaxing and more enjoyable, especially with little ones along.

So, NO, gas prices are not affecting the sale and use of RVs. Pleas e-mail me for more information.
