| Savings: RV vs Car = $4,811 minus $1,975
= $2,836 or $236.33 per month toward RV Ownership! RV vs
Fly = $5,461 minus $1,975 = $3,486 or $290.50 per month
toward RV Ownership! These comparisons assume low costs:
hotels ($125/day) pet kennel ($11/day) & airfare ($149/person).
Increased expenses for any of these items will add significantly
to your savings. Remember this was for one vacation. The
RV offers unlimited vacation opportunities including very
inexpensive weekend trips close to home. Spend as little
or as much as you wish. Even if fuel costs rise, airfare
and hotel costs are likely to rise as well, maintaining
(if not increasing) the savings. |
