POPULAR MYTHS ABOUT RVs BUSTED

RVing is one of the most exciting and amazing activities in the whole world. There are tons of people who enjoy traveling in RVs and also many frenetic travelers have opted for full-time RVing. But with the amazing and splendid nature of the RV world, there are various myths and misconceptions that are surrounding RVs.

Today, we are going to unfold the truth behind these myths and misconceptions regarding RVs. This is because these negative myths drive people away from the amazing adventure of the RV world. Hence, these people cannot experience something that they should have experienced. Let’s look at these myths and find the truth behind them so that you can have the right knowledge regarding RVs.

MYTH NO.1 – YOU NEED A SPECIAL LICENSE TO DRIVE AN RV

This myth is a very popular one. Well, the truth is that you can drive almost all the RVs available in the market with the standard driver license. You don’t need any special license to drive RVs (except in certain states). But sometimes, you need to get a special license to drive RVs which are over 26000 pounds. But, most of the RVs available in the market are far much lighter than this particular weight. Also, driving an RV is not as hard as you think. Also, it can be a fun experience for you as well.

However there are different rules for different states in the US. For a complete list please watch this video.

MYTH NO.2 – RVs CANNOT BE DRIVEN TO CITIES

This is also a very widespread myth that actually causes people to refrain from using RVs. Well, we accept the fact that RVing in big cities isn’t easy, but certainly, it is not impossible. Driving an RV in a city might be much more fun than you think and it could give you a new type of RV experience.

MYTH NO.3 – RV IS FOR OLDER GENERATION PEOPLE

Well, it is an absolutely false statement that RVs are for older people only. This used to be true around five decades ago when younger people did not feel interested in RVing. But today, the time has changed. Even the younger people, who once did not feel exciting by RVing, are one of the most adventurous and frenetic RVers today. In fact, today, the number of younger people who are RVing is far more than the number of old people who travel in RVs. Don’t worry about your age. Just go out and enjoy your RVing experience to the fullest.

MYTH NO.4 – YOU CAN’T TAKE YOUR PETS WITH YOU ON YOUR RV JOURNEY

Today, most of the RVs have a very good space and therefore you can always take your pets on your RV journey. It doesn’t matter whether you are a cat lover or a dog lover;  it’s always better to take your pets with you on your RV journey. Then, you might take your pets with you for hiking or walking. Imagine, how good it would be if your pets accompany you. You would love their presence and would be enlightened by the various activities that you could do with them. Also,  you don’t need to take the tension about leaving your pet at your home. You just need to think about the fun and the enjoyment that you could experience with your pet at your desired campground.

MYTH NO.5 – A FOUR-SEASONS RVs CAN PROTECT YOU FROM THE VERY COLD WINTER

This is a myth we expect to be true but it is actually false. Most of the RVs do not have proper insulation to protect you from the chilling winters. Even a four-seasons camper cannot do that. Most people claim that a four-seasons camper has extra insulation and therefore protects you from the cold weather. But, actually, it will eventually get cold if it is exposed to continuous freezing temperatures.

MYTH NO.6 – RV HAS HORRENDOUS GAS MILEAGE

While we cannot claim this to be completely false but it is neither completely true as well. Today, RVs are quite advanced and they have much efficient gas mileage then people think. The older versions of the RVs have very poor mileage. But, with the advancement in the technology of the RVs, the gas mileage in them is almost perfect. You don’t need to worry about the gas mileage while enjoying your trip on your RV.

MYTH NO.7 – RVs ARE NOT LUXURIOUS

This used to be the case a few decades ago. But, now with the various developments in RVs, they are as luxurious as five-star hotels and ultra-modern houses. These RVs have glamorous furniture and branded showers. The modular kitchens and the ultra-modern decorations make them even more luxurious. Some of the luxurious RVs cost more than a million dollars. So, you cannot claim this myth to be true. RVs are not traditional and broken homes anymore. Today, they depict class, quality, luxury, and glamour.

MYTH NO.8 – YOU NEED TO BE AN EXPERT BEFORE YOU EXPLORE THE WORLD IN AN RV

This is also a very popular myth that needs to be debunked. Some people say that unless you are an expert, you cannot do it. But the truth is that unless you do it, you cannot become an expert. Your RVing journey comes with experience that you encounter while learning. So, you need not become an expert before trying it out. There are many websites and blogs that teach you about RVing. Also, if you are willing to take practical lessons, there are many classes that can teach you to be courageous RVer. You just need to follow some practical steps during your RV experience. So, go out fearlessly and express yourself with all your might and bravery.

MYTH NO.9 – RV IS USED ONLY  FOR BIG ADVENTURE

Well, this is a myth that many of us believe. It is right that many people use RV for big long-time adventures. They live long on their RVs and stay on the road for full weekends. But RVs can also be used for short time adventures such as a one-day trip or a night adventure. There is much more adventure that you can do on a one-day trip depending on your goals for RVing. RVs can be used for various purposes. For example, when you want to go RVing for long durations of time, RVs give you full freedom to do that. Also, if you want to roam around, then also RVs do not spoil your mood.

MYTH NO.10 – ANY TRIP IN AN RV IS NOT SPECIAL

This is a myth that all the RV lovers hate. This is because the RVers cannot imagine the fulfillment, happiness, and excitement in their lives without RVs. The memories of their RV journey are priceless. The RVers enjoy with their friends, families and do some unforgettable stuff filled with fun and excitement. Ask any RVer, he/she will tell you about the hot springs that he/she enjoyed after stopping the RV on the highway. RVers will tell you about the joy, the excitement, they had while driving the RVs with the tune of the sweet and magical music.

 RVers experience some of the magical moments in their lives in their RVs. RVs always provide you with immense joy and freedom that can be experienced just within the comfort of a portable home. For RVers, their RV is a home away from their home. The RVs always give them a sense of belonging. So, never let any person say that an RV journey is not very special.

Some people will speak about various myths regarding our loving RVs. But it’s your duty to prove them wrong. You can do that by enjoying your RV experience and building some magical moments in your RV. This will make your experience in RV very fascinating and it will also inspire your future generation to take up RVing. Your ultimate goal should be propagating love for the amazing and sensational RVs.
