Do RVers sometimes seem to wish they were static, despite their commitment to the lifestyle. If they lived in a stick-and-brick building with a washing machine, a refrigerator, and plenty of hot water, how would they feel? RVers face a variety of challenges when traveling.
1. Unfamiliarity
Travelling by RV requires learning a new city’s layout. Consider this when running errands to avoid backtracking. Drive carefully in unfamiliar areas. Fast food restaurants and shopping locations may not be available everywhere in unfamiliar cities. In-N-Out, Whataburger, and Tim Horton’s may not always be open. Second or third choices are okay if you’re not happy with your first or second choice.
2. Day-to-day travel stress
Preparing your house for a move can be stressful. Use a detailed checklist to ensure accuracy and prevent mistakes. When you plan your trip in advance, you won’t run into problems on the way. Towing an RV can be stressful. If you’re not sure that your RV will fit, don’t take it there. Bridges and clearances can be tricky if you are unfamiliar with them. Other drivers will also be inconvenienced by your actions.
3. Packages and mailing
Stationary life allows you to get everything delivered within a week or two. Online purchases can be difficult when you’re constantly on the move. Before ordering a package, contact the campground. Make sure campgrounds can deliver packages before ordering.
4. Costly to invest in
Even after buying the expensive RV, the process continues. RVs, tow vehicles, and campsite fees require something else. Moreover, routine maintenance and fuel pump pain persist. It’s usually when RVs break down, not if. RVs are bound to break after being owned and used for a long time. Alternatively, you can find RV repair shops that charge $150 to $200 an hour. In addition to living in the RV, you will have to spend more on dining out, souvenirs, etc. The cost of RVing can be reduced despite its high level.
RVing is appealing to many people due to its cost-effectiveness. It’s true, but not as cheap as you might think. Additionally, you should have an emergency fund set aside for RVing costs.
