As we enter the full swing of summer, people are gearing up to hit the road.
RVshare, the first and largest peer-to-peer RV rental and listing marketplace, has created a market to offer a different type of summer fun! You can rent an RV and travel around the country or have an RV delivered directly to your camping spot... it's that easy!
According to RV Share, nearly two-thirds of campers prefer RVing to tent camping. Here are some amenities and perks of the RV camping experience:
- Getting off the ground! Camping by RV provides more of the comforts of home with amenities like a cozy bed
- Grilling or stovetop, you choose: Fully stocked kitchens make cooking easy at any time of day and in any weather. Microwaves make all the difference too when looking to save time on prepping meals on the go
- No cooler needed: Beverages and snacks stay cool and fresh in the freezer/refrigerator
- Rain or shine: RV travel provides shelter from the rain as well as air conditioning to cool off during those hot summer nights and heating to stay warm in locations that cool down
- Showering up: Nothing beats a hot shower after a day swimming in the lake or coming off a long mountain hike -- plus other full service bathroom amenities
- Family fun: The Rvs keep everyone entertained with TV time, ipod docking stations, AM/FM radio
- Don’t forget Fido: RVshare is also pet friendly, so all toys and camp gear allowed
- Time is money: Another benefit for those on the go is set up time. No pitching a tent, breaking it down and repitching as people make their way from one location to another.
