Why An RV Beats Tent Camping Any Day

Regardless of where you’d like to vacation, from the mountains to the desert, nothing beats waking up and seeing the beauty of nature right outside your door. If you’ve debated taking a camping trip but have been unsure whether to rent an RV or try tent camping, the choice is clear: RVing is definitely the way to go — here’s why.

No Set Up Required!

When it comes to setting up, tents take a little time to get put together, but with an RV delivery or a stationary rental, you can avoid the prep altogether. All the setup is done for you — you just have to show up and enjoy the amenities! And with an RV, you don’t need to worry about packing it all up when your trip is over, either.

The Comfort Can’t Be Beat

When it comes to comfort, RVs win hands down. RVs offer a range of amenities that make them feel more homey. Some luxury RVs feel like five-star hotels on wheels, but even a more modest pop-up camper will be cozier than most tents, which tend to offer protection from the elements but not a whole lot more.

Most RVs also have climate control, which is something you won't get with a tent. And trust us when we say that air conditioning (or a lack thereof) can make or break your vacation vibe when things start to heat up! Many RVs offer awnings as well to provide shade on sunny days.

And of course, when nature calls, it's nice to have a proper facility that's ready to use. Most RVs have private bathrooms, so you won’t have to worry about trekking through the woods when you need to go. Plus, most RVs have showers, so unlike if you were staying in a tent, you won’t have to pay to use shared restrooms at campgrounds.

You Have Doors, And They Lock

Safety is always important, but this is particularly true when you’re in a remote or unfamiliar location. With a tent, you have a zipper and fabric separating you from anything outside. With an RV, you have doors, walls and a roof to help protect you from wildlife and the elements. You also have doors and windows that can be locked for added safety.

Enjoy A Taste Of Home

When you rent an RV, you can make s’mores around the campfire, but you can also pop back inside to enjoy a chilled glass of wine, microwave some popcorn and watch a movie on the TV. Many RVs offer amenities much like you’d find in your kitchen back home. You can cook using a stove, and store food in a fridge and freezer. Plus, cleaning up dirty dishes is much easier when you can use a sink.

RVing Without Pain At The Pump

Not everyone feels comfortable behind the wheel of an RV, and with gas prices soaring, you might not be too keen on racking up miles on the road. Luckily, there are ways to enjoy the fun of RVing without ever needing to drive one or purchase gas. Two great options include delivery rentals and stationary rentals.

Have An RV Delivered

After two years mostly spent at home, many people are planning to start traveling again, and a large number say they will choose an RV for their excursion. According to the RVshare 2022 Travel Trend Report, 77 percent of respondents said that they would be more likely to take an RV trip knowing they could have it delivered to their destination and picked up. While road tripping and sightseeing along the way is a wonderful experience, many people prefer the convenience and ease of having an RV delivered right where they want to go.

Delivery rentals can be brought to just about any location, unlike stationary RV rentals, which tend to stay on private property or at a campsite. This is a great option when you don’t want to drive the RV, and you plan to stay in one place, such as a national park, the entire time. You will want to check with the owner before booking to determine if they have a specific radius in which they will deliver the RV and to ensure they will deliver to your desired location or campground.

With RV delivery, you will still need to pay campground fees, just as you would if you were to drive the RV yourself.

What Happens When You Rent A Stationary RV

A stationary RV is already parked at its destination, usually a scenic location. With a stationary rental, all the water and electric connections are set up, and the RV is ready for use when you arrive on site. When your vacation is over, the owner will manage tear down and waste dumping.
