Q: Dear April Masini,

My wife and I are trying to think of a different type of vacation to take our three kids on this summer. We hate to fly with everyone because of the expense and hassle. Do you have any ideas?

Sincerely,

Summer Vacationer

Dear Summer Vacationer,

This summer, how about trying a high-end recreational vehicle (RV) for your vacation? Here's why they're so popular:

*Families are taking more vacations in more varied combinations than ever before. Step-parents, step-siblings, "Glamparents" who are young and fit take their grandchildren so the parents can escape for a week or two during the summer, and the combinations include other extended family members these days. Few are the days when a family packs up the car to go to the beach for a week. Luxury RVs provide a great way for groups of people to vacation together. 
*More people are taking more kinds of vacations. Volunteer vacations, educational vacations and multi-generational family vacations are just some of the variations on the traditional summer vacation that are being taken and parents are looking for more different kinds of vacations. High end RV vacations fit that bill. 

*Terrorism has changed the way we travel, and many people are still affected by the terrorism of 9/11 and since then. They are loathe to put their families on planes and are more interested in driving vacations. High end RV vacations provide another option for a growing market of the vacation population. 

*Flexibility. The high-end RV allows families flexibility to leave when they want and not have to scramble to get through security lines at airports and become victims of airline departure delays while not giving up The Four Seasons affect of luxury by having a high-end RV.
