There are a few companies that offer this. Me and DW thought it would be a fun way to learn about RVs. One has a reposition from NYC to MIami. Or IAD to Miami. Here is the math for a 10 day trip on the smallest RV available (25 foot): 1) Cost of the vehicle rental $600 - this is net of reposition daily discount of $35, 2) Mileage - 1,300 free 3) Optional Kitchen and Personal Kits $175 3) Taxes and licenses $100 4) Liability and Comp/Coll Insurance $300. Checked with my insurance company. I cannot get this through my insurance company. Total paid to RV agency $1,175.
Fees for RV parks, state parks vary. On my mythical trip I hugged the coast and would pay about $225 for my 10 day trip.
Mileage on those puppies is about 8 so the cost of gas would be about $600.
Total so far $2,000. Lets say I get lucky with airfare and end paying $400. I am leaving out food costs. Theory is that I would have food no matter what.
This would be during the offseason. DW and I sometimes go to the beach in the offseason. I just called a place we have visited before and for the same 10 day period, I can stay there for $1,400. It has a little kitchen area.
So I could see a whole lot of different places at various beaches for $2,400 or stay in the same beach place for $1,400. And food costs in the RV could be a bit lower, even though the hotel suite has a kitchen area. Am I missing something?
