Discovering America by means of an RV offers the traveler the convenient adventures of outdoor life, such as camping, hiking, boating, fishing, and biking. Camping is one of America's favorite outdoor pastimes. The outdoor options that camping presents are endless. There are 4,982 public campgrounds and 8,579 private campgrounds, with the majority located in the rural parts of the United States.
Camping is not just meant for the young. RV camping and touring is a favorite activity for the early retired and, to the contrary, anyone who is young at heart. For adults traveling with children in 1992, camping was the third most popular holiday according to research by the U.S. Travel Data Center and Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. Nearly half of the nation's 8.5 million RVs are owned by Americans aged 55 and older. The progression from tent camping to RV camping as campers grow older is evident. Tenters today are the RVers of tomorrow. Also, the flexibility and economics associated with RV travel encourage greater RV users and families on a fixed budget. A study done by Pannell-Kerr-Forster found that RV vacations are considerably more economical than traditional trips by car, bus, train, or airplane, regardless of trip destination or duration. An RV vacation costs from half to three-quarters less than comparable vacations by any other mode.
