Fall is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to hit the road and explore the vibrant foliage, crisp air, and scenic landscapes. On the latest episode of the Unscaled Travel Show, we sat down with Maddi Bourgerie, Senior Director of Communications for RVshare, to uncover why RV travel is booming and how it can offer a stress-free, memorable fall adventure.
Why RV Travel?
RVshare is an online marketplace connecting travelers with over 60,000 RV owners across the U.S. Maddi explained that RV travel offers the perfect balance between comfort and immersion in nature. Imagine waking up to breathtaking mountain views, roasting marshmallows under starry skies, and enjoying the flexibility of making your own schedule—all with the convenience of having a cozy bed, kitchen, and bathroom on wheels.
“You’re not sleeping on the ground in a tent, and you don’t have to deal with the hassle of flights, rental cars, and hotels,” Maddi shared. “Plus, RVs are incredibly pet-friendly, so your furry family members can come along for the adventure!”
A Solution to Travel Disruptions
With recent years marked by airline delays and cancellations, RVs offer the ultimate flexibility. “You’re in control of your schedule,” Maddi said. “No waiting around for flights or dealing with cancellations—just grab your RV and hit the road.”
RV travel also allows for spontaneous stops, scenic detours, and the chance to truly savor the journey. Whether it’s avoiding holiday traffic or creating your own itinerary, RV travel puts you in the driver’s seat—literally.
Girls’ Trip in an RV? Absolutely!
When it comes to fall girls’ trips, Maddi is a big advocate for RV travel. “RVshare offers delivery services, where owners can set up the RV at your destination. You don’t have to worry about driving or setting it up yourself,” she said.
Maddi highlighted some top fall destinations perfect for a girls’ trip:
- Arkansas’ Crowley’s Ridge Parkway: Scenic byways, small towns, and local wineries.
- Shenandoah National Park, Virginia: Stunning fall foliage and cozy campgrounds.
- Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee: Easy access to hikes, colors, and attractions.
- Texas Hill Country: Beautiful rivers, hiking trails, and a vibrant wine scene.
“Think campfires, hiking, and bonding with friends—it’s a unique way to create memories,” she added.
Tips for First-Time RVers
For those new to RV travel, Maddi offered these tips:
- Choose the Right RV: With over 3,000 options on RVshare, you can find the perfect size and type for your group.
- Ask the Experts: RV owners provide walkthroughs and tips to make your trip stress-free.
- Plan Ahead: Book campsites early, but don’t overlook private campgrounds for flexibility.
- Be Prepared: Watch videos or read manuals to familiarize yourself with the RV.
Perfect for Fall Adventures
Fall is a popular time for RV travel, especially for “leaf peepers” chasing the changing foliage. While state and national park campgrounds fill up quickly, Maddi suggested looking at private campgrounds or adjusting your dates to avoid peak crowds.
“You can also try boondocking—camping on public land with no hookups—for a more remote and peaceful experience,” she said.
Why You Should Give RV Travel a Try
Still on the fence? Maddi encouraged everyone to consider RV travel at least once. “It’s a bucket list experience that families and groups rave about,” she said. With 94% five-star reviews on RVshare, it’s clear this unique way of traveling leaves a lasting impression.
