What RVers Wish They Had Known
The following are all the things our RV Lifestyle members wish they had known about RVing before getting on the road. Their mistakes and discoveries can help you be prepared if RVing is new to you!

1. FLUCTUATING GAS PRICES

The first item on our list is the fluctuating gas prices. Of course, this should no longer come as a surprise to most since we have all been hit hard by the soaring gas prices these past few months. 

Many RVers wished they had known How to Get Better Gas Mileage in Your RV.

Our RV Lifestyle member, Kari, was the first to comment on the thread. It was not that she mentioned fluctuating gas prices that stood out, but the large red exclamation point at the end. 

Gas is one of the largest ongoing RVing expenses you can incur depending on how far you are traveling and the type of rig you own. 

It can absolutely influence your travel plans because what once was an affordable destination for you may not be any longer. Many people will end up staying closer to home.
