Go Affordably.

Go RVing.

Even with fu e l prices and the

cost of ownership figured in,

fu n filled fam ily R V trips remain the

most affordable way to vacation.

In fact, according to a recent study,

typical R V fam ily vacations are on

average

percent to 61 percent less

expensive than other form s of travel.

So go ahead and get back in touch

with nature

with the open road

and with each other. After all, you

shouldnt have to spend a lot

on something called free time.

Better
