I have seriously thought about spending my retirement traveling the country, but the cost of air travel is making me wonder if there are alternatives that don’t necessarily cost as much once every relevant factor is taken into account. Sure, there are rail lines throughout the country, but they’re not always the most ideal solutions if there aren’t stops before you get to your destination. That’s what made me wonder if I should just do all of the driving myself, even if that meant boondocking in a truck camper instead of staying in hotels along the way. I used an RV a little bit back when I was in college because my roommate had one and invited me on a trip when he finally procured it from his parents’ house. However, that was an old RV and it showed on the inside with a considerable amount of wear and antiquatedness. Another thing I didn’t like about that old RV was how cold or hot it would feel depending on the weather outside. It would bake in the afternoon, summer sun and we would freeze in below zero temperatures. He had an air conditioner that only worked marginally and a space heater that was insufficient and dangerous at the same time. I know that if I get an RV, I want something modern that sports an effective heating and cooling system. I am not interested in compromising on comfort during my travels because I know the right RV will satisfy my minimal needs. I’m patient until I find the right model with the right features without spending too much money in the end.
