Introducing Steve and Shannon

Hello! Buying our first camper, in 2013, was one of the best decisions weʼve made for our family. It has changed our lives in so many ways. We have created countless family memories in our camper, that we will forever cherish. Weʼve traveled to so many places and stayed in the comfort of our vacation home on wheels. Weʼve made so many friends along the way that have enriched our lives. We love sharing and inspiring others to venture out on the road and see America in the comfort of their vacation home on wheels. – Steve & Shannon from The Hitched Life.

#10 Reason To Buy A Camper: De-Stress Your Vacations

I don’t know about you, but de-stressing is one of my top goals in life. Not only does it affect your health, but the health of the people around you. There are a ton of articles, how-to books, and advice on the web about how to de-stress. Those are all good, but when it comes to going on vacation, it can be a lifesaver. Let me tie all of this back to camping. There is just something about camping in the woods that automatically de-stresses you. The sound of birds singing, creek water dancing and the coziness of a campfire flickering at night. All of these things and more are auto de-stressors. So, what are you waiting for?

#9 Reason To Buy A Camper: Save Money

Who doesn’t like saving money? Let’s face it, vacations can drain your wallet quickly. You have the cost of hotels, car rentals, restaurant bills and if you are flying, the airline ticket fees. When you own a camper, you can save SO much more money! You already have your own place to stay, you can pack a week’s worth of food and avoid the hassle of the airport. Camping gives you the flexibility to travel. It also allows you to see the things that you might not get to see while staying at a hotel. Saving money will allow you to enjoy family time without feeling guilty about how much money you will spend. So what are you waiting for?

#8 Reason To Buy A Camper: Avoid The Hassle Of Flying

You search online for the best deals on airline tickets for your family, purchase the tickets and on the day of your departure, lo and behold, a flight cancelation happens. Your plans for the day are now messed up, you lose vacation time by waiting on the next available flight and let’s not forget the stress levels that you all are trying to manage. Okay, okay, this may be the worst-case scenario and some flight schedules do work out, but nothing compares to owning your camper and being in control of your vacation time. You can leave whenever you like, sleep in your camper and not have to worry about hotels. Last but not least, you can enjoy the scenery on your way to your vacation destination. This, my friends, is the best stress-free way to go!

#7 Reason To Buy A Camper: Become Part Of The Community

Camping is not just a summer activity, its about belonging to a community. It’s a different world when you first enter a campground. You enter a new community of people who share the same interests and camp philosophy as you do. It’s like gathering around a campfire, while a buddy of yours starts playing a familiar tune on their guitar and everyone joins in to sing along. It’s that feeling you get when stories are being told and laughter breaks out all at once. It’s simply that feeling of being “home.”

#6 Reason To Buy A Camper: Meet Friendly Neighbors

You can meet so many nice people at campgrounds. The people are relaxed and laid back and are willing to give you a hand when needed. My family and I have experienced friendly neighbors reaching out to help us park our camper, unload equipment and even giving us a very nice maple stick to use in our campfire. It’s not like this when you stay at hotels. People at hotels like their privacy and are there to sleep and leave. Campgrounds are a different world. It’s like you have lived by each other for years!

#5 Reason To Buy A Camper: RV Campgrounds Everywhere

Never run out of choices with the different types of campgrounds that are everywhere in the US. You have state parks, national parks, family-owned campgrounds and boondocking! Unlike hotels, you get to see nature at its finest. Let’s not forget about all of the activities that accompany a park, such as hiking, boating, swimming, picnicking and more! All of these activities promote great health, cherished family time and saving money. It’s a win-win for me!
