MONEY SAVING TIPS FOR RV ROAD TRIPS

Whether you’re planning a weekend trip or an extensive cross-country expedition, there are plenty of quick, easy tips to keep you on budget. Here are a few tricks to help you learn how to save money for travel in your RV.

USING PUBLIC CAMPGROUNDS

Camping in state parks or national forests is usually less expensive than most private RV parks, and they can provide some beautiful scenery to wake up to. Many parks also offer utility hookup options and nearby walking and hiking trails to explore between stops.

SHOULDER AND OFF-SEASON CAMPING

Many different parks around the country have peak seasons when the roads and attractions are packed with travelers. This not only causes crowding, but it also encourages parks to raise prices seasonally. The good news is that most parks are open all year with less busy shoulder and off-seasons. While the experiences may differ depending on the weather, many parks still offer their own unique benefits year-round.

FINANCING YOUR RV PURCHASE

When you purchase an RV, you know there’s nothing better than hitting the road to a beautiful destination in the comfort of your own space. Having an RV helps save money and adds convenience, and financing your RV purchase can help you hit the road sooner. Hilltop Camper and RV has a multitude of competitive options and rates.

FOOD PLANNING

Cooking your own food in your RV kitchen or even cooking by campfire can be a great way to save and travel when it comes to mealtime. Stopping at local restaurants for every meal or even every dinner can make a quick dent in your travel budget. There are plenty of recipes to play around with on the road, and here are just a few to get you started.

  • Breakfast burritos
  • Chicken salad
  • Classic BLT burgers
  • 7-layer dip and chips
  • Loaded baked potatoes

BOONDOCKING

This simple method of camping consists of docking on entirely free, open, and public lands. There are numerous ways to plan for a boondocking adventure, but preparation is key for a successful experience. Explore some terrain by researching patches of public land and seeing what environment is best for your RV rig. Some areas are more social and operate as a DIY camping site while others provide seclusion and isolation when you want to feel one with nature.
