This may come as a surprise, but families all over America struggle with the same frustration you feel when planning your vacation. You want it to be memorable; you want the entire family to have the time of their lives; you want to actually go somewhere really great this time; and the kicker-you don't want to spend half of your salary doing it.

It's not like that question has gotten easier in a tough economy. By the time you book transportation and lodging for the entire family, your vacation budget can hardly cover food or anything fun to do. Cruises aren't known for being cheap; resorts cost an arm and a leg. What are your options?

What if you could drive to your destination with plenty of space instead of being crammed into a minivan? And what if you didn't even need lodging when you got there? What if you had your own motor home?

Before you scratch that idea because motor home's are absurdly expensive, there's something you don't know. You can rent an RV and it's yours for however long you need it! In fact, do you realize that in most cases, renting a motor home will be cheaper than making the trip in a car and staying at hotels?

Here's why: If you drive your own car, you have to pay gas anyway, not to mention the wear and tear and everything else involved with keeping a car going. When you arrive, you have to find a hotel with openings for a good price and good quality. And you still have to find good local restaurants with workable food, service and prices. All of that just means lots of money and lots of inconvenience.

By comparison, imagine driving to your favorite vacation spot in a motor home with plenty of space for everyone. When you arrive, you set up camp and lodging is immediately taken care of. Everything you brought from home is already in place and accessible. That means more family time, and money savings you can use in other ways. Meals are as simple as walking to the built-in kitchen and having things just the way you want them. You finish your vacation with great memories and even better savings.

And here's the best part. When you come back home, the motor home isn't your problem. No storage; no monthly payments; no maintenance. You return it to the rental company and they take care of it all.

Too many Americans will miss an opportunity this summer because they don't realize that they could rent a motor home. There's no reason to choose between a great vacation and low cost. You can have both along with a load of convenience. Rental motor homes are the way to make your entire vacation work out just the way you want it.
