(Halifax, Nova Scotia) January 26th, 2012, RV Show season is in full swing with record-low prices and reports of affordable vacation options for families. Go RVing Canada promotes the RV vacation as an ideal time for families to discover the freedom, fun and flexibility of the RV lifestyle.

“The Halifax RV show has a lot to offer. With the largest selection of RVs in Atlantic Canada, it’s a fun and easy way to start planning your summer vacation,” says Alana Fontaine, Go RVing Canada spokesperson. “Canada is a beautiful country and there is no better way to see it than on a fun adventure in an RV.” The Halifax RV Show opens today at Exhibition Park and runs through Sunday, January 29th, 2012.

This is an excellent time to buy an RV with reports indicating prices have remained stable at record-lows amid economic uncertainty and a strong Canadian dollar. In 2011, RV sales surged to near pre-recession levels as families discovered the value of an RV vacation. “RVing offers families an opportunity to make the most of their vacation spending,” adds Fontaine. “They can cook in the comfort of their RV’s, campground costs are extremely affordable and the kids can bring their games along for quality family time.”

Go RVing Canada recently released the results of a new survey conducted by PKF Consulting that reported that an RV vacation can be up to 78 percent cheaper than any other type of family trip, regardless of trip duration, distance, or location. This is a 3 percent increase since the original study conducted in 2009. “It’s easy to save money on a family vacation when you don’t have to worry about the costs of flights, hotels, and eating out at restaurants,” concluded Fontaine.

Winter RV shows are an excellent opportunity for potential RV buyers to explore all that RVing has to offer with many local RV dealers and RV campgrounds under the same roof.

The Go RVing Canada coalition was formed in 1997, and consists of RV manufacturers, RV dealers and campground operators. The coalition serves as the Canadian RV camping industry ambassador to provide the public and media with information about the benefits of RV travel. The coalition also seeks to enhance consumer information and satisfaction with the RV experience.
