RV Cost and Travel

• New RVs range from $10,000 for basic pop-up campers to over $500,000 for luxury Class A motorhomes.
• Used RVs can offer significant savings, often costing 30% to 50% less than new models depending on age and condition.
• RV owners can save 20% to 60% on vacation costs compared to traditional travel that includes flights, hotels, and restaurant dining.
• Fuel costs vary widely depending on RV type:
  • Class A: 6–10 miles per gallon
  • Class B: 18–25 miles per gallon
  • Class C: 10–15 miles per gallon
• RVers travel an average of 4,500 miles per year, with longer trips often taken in the summer or during retirement.
• Many RV parks and campgrounds offer monthly rates, which can significantly reduce the cost for long-term stays.
• RV insurance typically ranges from $250 to $2,000 per year, depending on the RV's value, use, and coverage level.
• RV depreciation is significant in the first few years, with new RVs losing up to 30% of their value in the first year alone.
