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 endpoint.
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 university because my roommate had 1 plus invited me on a trip when he finally procured it from his parents’ house. However, that was an outdated RV plus it showed on the inside with a considerable amount of wear plus antiquatedness. Another thing I didn’t like about that outdated RV was how cold or hot it would know depending on the weather outside. It would bake in the day, Summer sun plus the two of us would freeze in below zero un-even temperatures. He had an air conditioner that only worked marginally plus a space furnace that was insufficient plus dangerous at the same time. I know that if I get an RV, I want something modern that athletic activitys an effective heating plus cooling system. I am not interested in compromising on comfort while in 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.
