TRAVELLING COTTAGES THE RV AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE VACATION HOME |
|
| Now that summer has finally arrived, the call of cottage country beckons us to leave the fast pace of the city, in favour of the quiet beauty of Canada's scenic wilderness. For families from coast to coast, summer vacation is synonymous with camping. More than 25% of Canadian families now own and enjoy overnight camping equipment, ranging from tents and sleeping bags to fully equipped recreational vehicles. From June to September, 4,000 campgrounds across the country are transformed into summer communities, welcoming visitors to stay for a few days, a few weeks, or the entire season. While many families enjoy the basic campground experience by simply pitching a tent, millions of Canadians have discovered the comforts of the recreational vehicle lifestyle. RVs are available in a variety of styles, from fold-down camping trailers to the luxurious full-size motorhomes, at prices to fit any family's vacation budget. Recreational vehicles were designed as an alternative to the vacation home. As cottage prices soar, RVs remain the most affordable and enjoyable way for a family to spend the summer. The cost factor is just the beginning of the RV advantage – you can tour the continent with your RV, and stay in fully equipped campgrounds with full RV system hook-ups, or "rough it" in wilderness areas, relying on the RV's self-contained water, electrical, and propane systems that can handle the family's needs for a week or more at a time. One of the most popular of the RV styles is the travel trailer. Travel trailers are available in a range of sizes, from lightweight models under 20 feet, which can easily be towed by a suitably equipped minivan, sport utility vehicle, or full-size passenger car, to very luxurious models over 30 feet long and complete with "slide-out" room extensions to increase your living space . Designed to provide all the comforts of home, travel trailers feature full galley facilities, real beds, and full washrooms, with tub and shower. Add an awning to your trailer and you'll enjoy the perfect vacation home – a "travelling cottage" complete with front porch! Your local recreational vehicle dealer can tell you what you can tow with your present vehicle, and show you a selection of travel trailers to fit your needs and budget. Discover the RV lifestyle with a travel trailer this summer – it's the modern way to enjoy camping in Canada!
