Hey Reader,

Two weeks ago I mentioned how we rented an RV with RVShare. (In case you missed it.)

And maybe you’re toying with the idea of RV camping this summer, but there’s this little voice in your head whispering, “Isn’t that expensive?”

Totally get it.
I thought the same thing before we rented an RV through RVShare.

But then I did what I always do—I opened a spreadsheet.

Here’s what I found:

Hotel for 4 people x 5 nights = ~$1,200​
(Assuming you're not squeezing four humans into one room like sardines.)

Eating out 3x a day = ~$600+​
Because teens? They eat. A lot.

Car rental or all that extra gas for long drives = $300–$400

And that’s before you even do anything.

Now here’s what we paid for a fully equipped RV through RVShare:
🚌 A bit less than $1,500 for the week.
💤 It doubled as our hotel.
🍳 We cooked almost all our meals inside it.
🚙 And we didn’t need a rental or separate transportation.

We stayed in nature, made actual memories instead of spending hours in traffic or packed restaurants, and honestly?
We didn’t miss the lobby coffee or tiny shampoo bottles one bit.

If you’re a detail-loving, deal-seeking parent like me, this is your sign to give RVShare a look.
You can check out available rentals near you right here.

Even if you’re just looking, it’s worth seeing how it could work for your family.

Cost shouldn’t be the reason you skip a summer adventure.

Especially when the alternative might actually cost more.

Budget-minded always,
​
