RV Rental Saves Family Vacation!

Posted by RV Pro on Apr 13, 2009

When I was a kid, the folks packed the six of us into the station wagon and headed west one summer. Over the next six weeks, we visited every national park west of the Mississippi. Because WWII had filled my dad’s lifetime tolerance for camping, we stayed in a series of offbeat motels and relatives’ rec rooms. Cereal in the hotel room and bologna sandwich picnics allowed us to sample local diners at suppertime. It was a memorable trip and not just for the scenery. While my love of national parks began with that trip, I have never owned a station wagon and haven’t eaten bologna since.

Life comes full circle. My sister is planning to repeat the grand tour of our youth, heading west with her hubby and three kids this summer. They’re big campers and have a van; but even so, the thought of three kids within touching distance of each other for hours in the car was giving her nightmares. Then there’s the packing and unpacking, setting up and striking camp, jamming six weeks worth of stuff into the car every day — the whole trip was beginning to sound less like a vacation and more like an ordeal.

RVT.com to the rescue. My sister decided to rent a RV on RVT.com. The whole family is excited about the trip now. There will be plenty of room for the kids to spread out, a kitchen for fixing everyone’s favorite foods, plenty of storage space, and no packing and unpacking every night. They’ll be picking up the rental RV in their home state, loading up and heading out this June. Look for them on the highways. They’ll be the happy family waving out the windows as they travel in RV comfort!
