Summer Fun Done? Donate your RV to Goodwill!
There’s nothing quite like getting out into nature to disconnect from the stress of everyday life. It’s a chance to let your cares melt away and focus on the beauty of the world around you.
The events of the last couple of years have made this decompression time even more valuable. More than 11 million people in the U.S. use an RV (recreational vehicle) to travel, camp, and relax in nature, and that number has grown steadily over the last ten years! The problem is, owning an RV is a hefty commitment, and some RV owners might realize they’re not in it for the long haul.
Missed Summer Adventures
We tend to romanticize the idea of traveling the country in an RV, stopping along the way to absorb beautiful views. But the truth is that many of us just don’t have the time to devote our entire summer to camping. As a result, we find ourselves in the final warm days of August and September disappointed that we didn’t accomplish all the summer fun we’d planned.
At the same time, inflation is tightening budgets for every family in America right now, and RVs bring several additional expenses. Think insurance, registration, fuel, storage, campsite rentals, maintenance, and more. It can all add up quickly if RV ownership isn’t in your budget right now.
Outdoor Living Alternatives
If you find yourself wondering if it’s time to say goodbye to the RV, but don’t want to give up your access to nature, don’t worry! There are plenty of ways to maintain your active lifestyle “” just in a more affordable way.
The up-front costs of owning a camper are often much lower than purchasing an RV. And, of course, tent camping is very affordable if you’re willing to trade your cozy accommodations for something a little more rugged. You might even find a tent at your nearest Goodwill thrift store!
Lastly, consider renting. If your schedule doesn’t allow regular camping trips, it’s likely more affordable to rent an RV or a cabin on occasion.
