February 2009 Intro
 2008 was such a bad year for the RV industry, skyrocketing gas prices and a declining economy was very bad indeed. I have owned an RV for 5 years, thoroughly loving the experience. I will be watching the industry with crossed fingers this year, hoping that the manufacturers and service providers can make a comeback in 2009. Enjoy this website and the products for sale in it. Feel free to offer any suggestions for content as well.
Enjoy!

 This is not likely a question you are asking if you came to this site, but I thought it still a very good topic of discussion anyways.
There are a million different reasons to consider RV ownership. The primary ones are to travel, to spend time with your family to use it for a means of housing while on business, or while enjoying a traveling sport or past-time. Then of course it makes a great full-time home for retirees
I personally never considered owning an RV until experiencing using one first hand while showing my horse. Normally I stay in hotels, but on this occasion I had the offer to travel and stay with a fellow competitor who had a living quarters horse trailer. It was so cool to be able to get up, throw a hat on and go ride and compete, then unwind with a shower and a nap in the afternoon. I ate better because I brought food and was able to prepare healthy fresh meals when I had time to make them.
As a family sightseeing vehicle an RV can't be beat. My husband and I went to Yellowstone last year and it was a blast! we were able to leisurely see all the sights and rest or eat in the parking lot as the need arose.
When I did my cost analysis before making my RV purchase, all reports were that RV travel is NOT a cost savings, but rather an alternate option to staying in hotels. I have had an RV now for 2 years and did a cost analysis which shows that for my RV usage it actually is a cost savings. |
