The Sewing Mom

We have two driving vacations that we’ve got planned for this summer. With the cost of gasoline, it really makes us think harder about where we can go and what we’ll do when we get there. Paying these high prices for fuel means we either have to have extra vacation budget (which we don’t) or reduce costs else where. I try to find deals on lodging and that’s where we try to make up the difference.

We own a full size conversion van which is terrific for traveling, very room and comfortable. We’ve been talking a lot lately though about looking at New RVs and comparing the cost of traveling and living in an RV while on vacation, versus paying fuel for our van plus paying hotel costs. We’re beginning to think the RV might be the way to go. MotorhomeRV.com has reduced prices and this is really a very good time to buy a motorhome.

Years ago, my parents always had a nice motorhome and it was very enjoyable to travel with them. Everyone had their own space and it was nice to not have to live out of a suitcase, we actually had closets! I think we saved on meals too because we did so much of our own cooking.

I’ll let you know if we decide to upgrade to an RV, but it’s definitely looking like a possibility.
