If you live in a country that has a lot to see, but an even longer distances to travel between things, than flying between locations can get very expensive (especially if you have a family) and it usually means that you can not stay in one location for very long – because accommodation can quickly eat up your travel budget.
This is why a lot of people in Australia, America and the United Kingdom have a love affair with camping – and more specifically caravans and camper trailers.
However, caravaning isn’t for everyone as it is a much slower form of travel. But there are a lot of positives to weigh up against your regular vacation types, so let’s take a look at them now.
-
A Lot Cheaper Form Of Travel
Most people always look at the upfront costs of a camper trailer and see it as an expensive form of travel, but you can pick one up for a couple of thousand dollars (which is what you would probably spend on one family vacation), and from there your daily travel costs are significantly lower once you hit the road – because you will only need a camping ground instead of a hotel room!

Explore The Road Less Traveled
When people plan a holiday they usually only get to visit one area because they can only afford a couple of days or a week at a time. After the upfront cost is paid for your camper trailer, you will be able to spend weeks on the road for the same price as you would on a normal vacation and this means that you can drive out to areas that most people never get the opportunity to visit – because how many of the natural wonders always seem to conveniently placed in the middle of nowhere?

Travel Slowly
As I just touched on, having a much lower daily travel expenses, you can spend a lot more time on the road. This allows you to take in the beauty as your travel and spend an extra day or two in a place that you love, before moving on to your next destination.
Because most holidays are only quick getaways, so many people don’t even get a chance to wind down and relax before they have to head back to work. Slow you life down (it goes by fast enough without you speeding it up more), enjoy your travels and create memories that you will always remember.
