Many parents have already made plans for this summer. Some even have detailed itineraries outlining the basic summer agenda so there’s no confusion. Suzy might have dance on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Billy could have swimming every weekday morning at 7am and Nelson signed up for football and has a month long camp mid-way through the break. Mom and Dad both work and have limited times during which it would be appropriate to take time off work. This sort of summer schedule is becoming more and more common. It’s the reason that it’s also becoming more and more common for families to decide they don’t have time to take a summer vacation. They’re too busy. Keep it simple this summer with one of the popular fifth wheel trailers. Recreational vehicles are a great way to maximize a travel budget and to enjoy quality family time, but for many, the greatest advantage is spontaneity. The getaways don’t have to be weeks long anymore. More often than not, families are indulging in multiple day trips throughout the summer. The RV allows them to do so without wreaking havoc on their finances.

Tough schedules don’t only occur during the summer. It’s simply the most obvious time during the year for vacations and a jam-packed schedule doesn’t leave a lot of time for out of town trips. Parents feeling the pressure to provide the family vacation their kids are used to without causing any undue damage to any members of the family that have “important” activities scheduled on the home front are turning to fifth wheel trailers as a solution. The fifth wheel is one of the most versatile recreational vehicles because of its spacious interior, high passenger count accommodations, many available amenities, and ability to provide freedom for the tow car to travel locally free of the trailer.

The fifth wheel trailers also provide the opportunity for instant accommodations and transportation on a moment’s notice. It’s the single most important selling point for those who are having trouble finding time for summer travel. With fifth wheel trailers providing readymade sleeping quarters and the mode of travel to the chosen destinations, spontaneous day trips and short 2-3 day trips are becoming a new highlight of the summer for many families.

Fifth wheel trailers aren’t the only way to get away from home on a moment’s notice, but they are a well-rounded option. RVers who are considering indulging in shorter trips this summer are encouraged to consider nearby National and State Parks. They offer a wide array of activities and opportunities for outdoor recreation depending upon the location and season.
