Save Money While Enjoying RV Living
When RV living is your way of life, saving every penny may not be as simple as you might expect. The following steps are sure to help you save, and even earn money while enjoying the RV way of living.
Steps
- Save money on gas! Slow down, the faster you drive, the lower your fuel usage will be. Proper tire inflation is a sure way to improve your gas mileage, as is lightening your load.
- Stop and shop. Forget about stocking up on everything you need for your entire trip by buying big quantities beforehand. Instead, shop regularly and locally. You'll not only reduce the weight of your RV and get better fuel economy, but also save money by skipping the national chains and shopping for produce, meat, dairy and other items at local discount stores.
- Eat in. Avoid the restaurants and eat in. Your meals not only will be cheaper, but also they're going to be healthier than those bought at the fast food restaurants and old fashioned diners along the highway.
- Go green. Use plastic, not paper. Although paper products are easy to use, and even better to throw away, why not go green while on the road? While the initial investment of a set of washable and reusable dishes might cost more up front, not having to continuously purchase paper plates, cups and utensils will save in the long run.
- Join an RV club. RV membership clubs offer a wide range of advantages to their members, some including substantial discounts on campground fees. Do your research before embarking on your journey to see what deals you can find for the road.
- Get online. RV forums can be discovered on numerous websites while you are surfing, try finding online coupons, codes and discounts for your other necessary RV purchases.
- Research your policies. Research your insurance policies to make certain you are getting what you need at a price you can afford. Whether you're looking at your RV insurance options or attempting to find discount RV coverage, sometimes changing your provider or premiums can save you cash.
