You may have noticed the new category on RVT.com, RV Property, and wondered why someone who has chosen the exciting, carefree life of a modern-day vagabond would want to purchase property. After unchaining yourself from the responsibilities and expense of home ownership to embrace RV living full time, why would you want to plant your feet in one zip code again?

Purchasing RV property may seem contradictory to the on-the-road RV lifestyle, but can actually enhance it if you are a full-time RVer. RV owners who have purchased RV property say they enjoy the best of both worlds: the ability to travel freely when the spirit moves them and the benefits of putting down roots in a permanent home base.

RV resorts and specialized RV communities have been growing in popularity as more people have embraced full-time RVing. They are particularly popular in Florida and Arizona where many full-timers spend the winter months in residence before hitting the highways for the summer. RV properties provide a convenient permanent address for mail, taxes, vehicle registration, insurance, etc. They offer a neighborly social community of like-minded friends Most also offer enjoyable leisure activities such as golf courses, fitness centers, ham radio stations,woodworking shops, club houses, scheduled social events, and more. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?

admin — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 04:20:46 +0000

"You know folks, everyday people come up to me and say how is your retirement going? Well folks let it be know I’m not retired. I’m very much involved in our Shell Busey HouseSmart and Renovation business. But you know on the weekends, we cherish them very much with our grandkids and our family, we head out to our new retreat; The Springs RV Resort at Harrison Hot Springs, right here in BC. If you haven’t been to The Springs RV Resort and you have an RV or planning on one you could own your own lot. You can go down to the outstanding restaurants and sandy beach and have yourself a great time. Go fishing as well. I recommend you come out to The Springs RV Resort at Harrison Hot Springs and park it on your own lot. You’ll love it. We do!" Shell Busey April 2012

Owning an RV Site may be just the answer….. by Dean Welsh

admin — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 01:37:56 +0000

How many times have you packed the coach and headed to your favorite RV resort for a weekend or holiday vacation only to find that the site you were hoping to stay at is not available, or worse, nor is any other site?

Time after time, you returned to that ideal place only to find it booked and left disappointed. Clearly, you aren’t the only RVer who appreciates the value and consistency of a quality destination site. Given this fact, more and more RVers are choosing ownership over the uncertainties of renting a site.

Ownership brings with it one very distinct advantage: guaranteed availability. An owner knows that when they want to vacation at their site, it will always be waiting for them to enjoy. An owner knows there will always be a vacancy at their site, and they have the freedom to embark on a spontaneous vacation.

An additional ownership factor to consider: Location, location, location – the mantra of every real estate purchase. Location merits first consideration, be it your personal coach-site or a site you consider purchasing as an investment. After identifying your purpose for ownership, the question then becomes: where do you and your family want to spend your leisure time or what areas do people enjoying visiting? read more?

Springs RV Resort comment: Now is a great time to think about embracing the RV lifestyle. Retire, sell the big house and buy an RV lot at the Springs RV Resort. Enjoy the summer in wonderful BC and head south for the cold rainy winter months. The best of both worlds and highly affordable. No lawn work, housework or vacation planning. Rather time to do the things you enjoy; golfing, boating, fishing, swimming or just plain relaxing.

The BEST And MOST AFFORDABLE WAY TO VACATION

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:48:35 +0000

January 27, 2012

A vacation in a recreational vehicle (RV) can be up to 78 per cent cheaper than other forms of travel, according to a new family vacation cost comparison study commissioned by Go RVing Canada.

In all cases, RV vacations were more economical than any other type of travel, regardless of trip duration, distance, or region of the country visited.

The study compared driving the family vehicle and staying at hotels, and travelling by air and rental car with hotel accommodations. All costs were analyzed, including fuel costs, airfare, and the cost of restaurant meals, groceries, rental car, campsite costs and hotel/motel costs. The study also factored in vehicle ownership costs.

The cost benefits of RVing came from the flexibility of cooking in an RV and the affordability of campgrounds offering electrical and water hookups. According to the study, the average cost of campgrounds was $368 for a ten-day trip from Halifax to Quebec City, while the same trip averaged $1,754 in hotel costs with a car/hotel vacation.

The average cost of a seven-day RV vacation from Vancouver to Banff National Park with a lightweight travel trailer was 41 per cent cheaper than the same vacation with a car/hotel option, and about 54 per cent cheaper than a comparable air/hotel option. The average cost per day of a three-day camping vacation to Algonquin Provincial Park from Montreal using a folding camping trailer was about 43 per cent less expensive than the cost of a comparable car/hotel combination, and about 78 per cent less than a comparable air/hotel vacation.

SpringsRV Comment: And just think how affordable an RV vacation would be with your own RV site at SpringsRV Resort. Arrive anytime and all you have to do is light the BBQ and relax.

How camping is evolving to keep up with travel trends

admin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:11:51 +0000

Camping is emerging as the top choice for many families this year, as the industry touts new amenities to draw penny-pinching vacationers who still want to get away, but can’t afford shelling out big bucks for airline fare, posh resorts or pricey home rentals. The road to recovery started last year, when revenue for the nation’s more than 13,000 privately run campgrounds and RV parks grew 3% after falling 4.8% in the wake of the recession in 2009, according to a new report by IBISWorld, which provides market intelligence on a variety of industries. Although hurt somewhat by the recession, camping didn’t fall as fast as other travel segments, such as hotels and motels, whose revenue plummeted more than 9% in 2009, according to IBISWorld.

The camping uptick is expected to continue for the next five years as more retiring baby boomers hit the open road. Growing up in the “height of the Boy Scout movement,” boomers have a “permanent appreciation of the outdoors,” IBISWorld notes in the report. “This generation is expected to be wealthier and live longer than any prior generation, making them prime targets for an RV lifestyle.”

But campsites are not taking future growth for granted. Many sites are upgrading facilities to lure picky campers who are often looking for more than just a patch of dirt to pitch a tent. To read more go to RVDA NewsBrief
