Recreational vehicles, also known as motorhomes, are the evolution of a concept that has existed for more than 200 years. There have been groups of nomadic people throughout human history, but the VR approach to mobile homes seems to date back to France. Hundreds of years ago, animal drawn carts and carts were designed and adapted as residences and long-term homes. These caravans were initially popular with circus performers and street vendors. As the technology spread across Europe, it became more popular. The Roma people began using caravans in the 1850s. The famous covered wagons used by settlers in the western United States were stronger versions of the original caravans. Motorized caravans were first produced in Canada in 1910 and began to appear in the US and Australia in the 1920s.
Today, RV campers are popular in the United States for vacationers and retirees. Thousands of state and national parks offer accommodations for motorized caravans. Private sites and communities number in the tens of thousands. These accommodations generally consist of a long parking space, often with towing capacity, an electrical connection, and a water line.
A parking space generally costs between $ 20 and $ 40 per night, providing visitors with an affordable alternative to a hotel. A recent study showed that using an RV for a trip will save the average family 25-60% on the cost of their vacation. RV campers are incredibly popular today, with more than 365,000 sold in 2014. More than 9 million families now own some type of this vehicle, and the average age of owners is 48.
A recent survey of families traveling in motorhomes with motorhomes showed a higher level of satisfaction compared to families traveling by car or plane. Some of the most popular reasons given were that the time spent driving was relaxing and enjoyable, rather than stressful. Traveling in a caravan also provides families with a perfect environment to interact compared to the narrow confines of an airplane or sedan. Group activities such as board games and puzzles are easy to complete due to the spacious interior of the vehicles.
In short, RV campers are part of a 200-year tradition that began when someone decided they wanted to live in their wagon permanently. Today, you can cruise the country on a 60-foot luxury land yacht with virtually all the comforts of a modern home. RVs are one of the best ways to see the natural wonders of our state and national parks, while keeping your family close and relaxed.
