10 Tips To Cutting Your RV Travel Expenses

Being frugal can save your RV travel budget. RV travel is among the least expensive types of vacations. These 10 tips show you how to make your RVing even less costly.

  1. Buy a frugal RV. You don't need a big luxury RV. You'll have just as much fun in an inexpensive used rig or a good value new recreational vehicle. For more information see: How to Buy a New RV - How to Buy a Used RV - Which RV is Right For You?

  2. Travel during the off-season for pre and post season discounts. Campgrounds & RV parks, theme parks, and other attractions routinely have lower prices off season. For more information see: RVing on a Budget

  3. Skip the commercial campgrounds when looking for places to stay. Find low cost RV sites in city, county, state, or federal camping areas. For more information see: The Secret to getting the best RV Campsite - Tips On Free Camping & Low Cost RV Camping

  4. Park for Free! There are many places where you can park overnight and even many days for free. For more information see: RV Camping at Wal-Mart and other places - RV Boondocking America - RV Camping on BLM Land - RV Camping at Casinos

  5. Stay longer. Many campgrounds and RV parks offer significant discounts for longer stays. For more information see: Tips On Free Camping & Low Cost RV Camping

  6. Be frugal when eating out. Eating out can be fun part of your frugal RV travel but look for 2-for-1 coupons and early bird specials. Consider eating out at lunch instead of dinner. Skip large chain restaurants in favor of small diners. For more information see: Tips for Saving Money When Eating Out

  7. Take advantage of regional bargains. Each area of the country has bargains you can take advantage of as you are RVing.

  8. Don’t buy all of your groceries at supermarkets. Buy food and other necessities at thrift bakeries, discount stores, dollar stores, church and charity bazaars, flea markets, roadside veggie stands, canning plants, and u-pick orchards.
