RV Parks And Campground Money Saving Tips

Fees for RV parks and campgrounds can vary widely depending on location, amenities and the time of year (whether the area is “in season” or “out of season” for popular tourist destinations).   Our article at RV Parks And Campground Money Saving Tips provides some specific ways to save money on your RV Park and Campground fees.

RV Propane Consumption Money Saving Tips

Propane provides fuel for the RV oven, stove, hot water heater and furnace. Some RVs have electric hot water heaters and also heat pumps relying on the furnace only when it is too cold for the heat pumps to keep up. Propane also keeps the RV refrigerator running when not on electric power.  Since electricity usage at most RV parks is included in the site rental fee, you can save money on propane consumption by using the RV park’s electricity whenever possible instead of using the propane in your RV.  For more specific examples, click on RV Propane Consumption Money Saving Tips to read the entire article.

RV Sightseeing And Entertainment Money Saving Tips

Sightseeing and entertainment costs can vary greatly depending on the type of RV destinations and activities you and your family enjoy.   We plan most of our RV travels to national parks as we enjoy nature and the great outdoors.   We seldom visit large cities or  amusement parks.  We do eat at locally owned restaurants often as we like to sample the local cuisine.    Click on RV Sightseeing And Entertainment Money Saving Tips for our article on how you can save some moolah!

Other Ways To Save Money While RVing

 RV Filtered Water vs Bottled Water

If you have water filters in your RV, don’t waste money on individual bottled water as this expense adds up and your RV has already filtered your water.  We like using an insulated water bottle or re-use emptied bottle water bottles.  We fill empty bottled water bottles with water and put in the freezer so you have cold water later in the day as the frozen water melts.  Great tip if you are sightseeing in the summer heat and need a cold refreshing water mid-afternoon! If your RV does not have a water filter, you may want to install an external water filter like the Culligan Recreational Vehicle External Water Filter System to filter all water entering your RV.
