Owning an RV is a great investment. You can visit every state, Canada, Mexico, and beyond without leaving your creature comforts at home.
The investment for a recreational vehicle can be high upfront, but it pays for itself within a few trips when you count how many hotels you’ve avoided and how many miles you didn’t put on the family car.
