Let’s Get Started!

This calculator estimates hypothetical trip costs based on national averages and the information you enter about your vacation. Answer these 6 easy questions to see how your vacation costs compare if you travel by RV or by more traditional methods like a plane or car.

Due to the expansive range of models and sizing for RVs, an average cost of an RV could not be accurately represented in this calculator.

step 1

Where are you headed?

*Destination must be accessible by car or RV.

step 2

How many people are coming?

step 3

How long will you be gone for?

step 4

Will you be flying or driving?

*Not sure if you want to fly, drive or take an RV? No worries, you'll be able to edit your answers and compare your options later in the calculator.

step 5

What do you plan on doing?

P.S. You can add custom activities once you've answered all the questions in the calculator.

step 6

How are you handling meals?

Making most meals

Cooking but also eating out
