Why is RV Travel So Popular with Baby Boomers?

Thursday February 26, 2009
I used to think RV travel was for people who weren't brave or hardy enough to camp in a tent. Now that I'm on the far side of 50, camping in a comfy RV sounds a lot more appealing.

I must not be alone in this thinking, because RV sales are increasing as more baby boomers reach retirement age. Learn the benefits of RV travel, and why RV travel is popular with boomers.

And whether, like me, you're planning your first RV travel tip, or you're planning your 50th, these 6 RV travel tips from an RV travel expert will help you prepare for a relaxing, safe, and fun RV travel adventure.

Besides taking trips, many Baby Boomers are choosing to live full-time in their RVs. They have found the lifestyle less expensive than living in a sticks & bricks house. Plus it is an adventure!

Some don’t wait until retirement age, either. They make money as they travel. In fact, older RVers often supplement their income with money from working or save money by volunteering somewhere. This adds a whole different dimension to RV travel.
