It's Good For You

Vacation + Relaxation = Happy Campers

Who doesn't enjoy a great vacation? You can't wait for it to begin and wish it would never end...You return to your everyday routine feeling relaxed and happier...You bond with your spouse and family while away, growing closer...you return to work with a more motivated outlook. Research has proven these "feelings" to be truths: People who take regular vacations are healthier and happier.

In addition, RV trips add benefits like less stress because you are in control:

It's easy to pick up and go without having to pack luggage
There's no limit on the things you can and can't take in your luggage
You can follow special diets or eat your favorite foods when you have your own kitchen along
There are no worries about having to leave any family members behind, because even four-legged companions love to RV.
In research recently released by the U.S. Travel Association, travel has been proven to aid in wellness, strengthen relationships, and boost creativity - all good reasons to start planning your next adventure.

Health and Wellness

An annual vacation can cut a person's risk of heart attack by 50 percent.
Travelers rate their overall health one full point higher (on a scale of 1 to 5) while on vacation. They also get three times more deep sleep after their vacation.

Relationships

More than half of employed Americans say they come back feeling reconnected with their family after vacation (53%).
At least four out of ten travelers feel more romantic on vacation (42%), and nearly one-third admit to making love more often on vacation (31%).

Career Success/Productivity

Travelers experience a 25% increase in performance on vigilance tests after returning from vacation - travelers 45 or older show a 50% increase in performance.
There's a good chance the benefits of vacation will go straight to the bottom line. According to a study by American Express, more than a third of small-business owners say their best ideas - the ones that lead to business growth - come not at work, but during their downtime.
An inability to take a break can lead to stress, burnout, and a greater likelihood of feeling betrayed and angry when things do not go well at work.

Having It All

RV owners enjoy all these benefits of travel. RVers can travel more frequently, more economically and more conveniently than any other travelers. Enjoy spontaneity. Make a spur-of-the-moment weekend getaway a reality to escape the workweek. Most of all, surround yourself with those you love, reconnect on new levels, and create memories that will last long after returning to home and your day-to-day schedules.
