Do you love to travel?
Does the wanderlust strike you early and often?
Are you someone who finds yourself constantly in a state of packing, unpacking, or being packed up and on the road?
If so, you know too well the effects that the global COVID-19 pandemic has had on folks like us – people who love travel and its myriad benefits.
One of the biggest lifestyle impacts COVID has had on many of us is the need to reassess our approach to travel. Since March 2020 here at Travel-Mor Trailer Sales in Ottawa, we’ve talked with countless people who came to the conclusion that RVs, trailers and campers represented a high-quality, enjoyable and viable means of travel.
Travel in the Era of COVID-19: Reassessing Priorities & Options
Since the outset of the global coronavirus pandemic, which has certainly made its impact here in Ottawa and across the Outaouais and Eastern Ontario, RVs and trailers have quickly become a great alternative to other means of travel.
Many of us liked to take cruises, go on all-inclusive resort holidays, take a European vacation or visit the many destinations within reach south of the border in the USA.
With COVID concerns, however, all of the above forms of travel became less attractive – some, such as cruises, have been rendered unviable.
So what’s an avid traveller to do?
Well, first things first, of course: We’ll keep our priorities straight and be thankful for what we have.
Many are less fortunate than us, especially those personally, directly or indirectly afflicted with COVID-19 health issues.
It’s been a wake-up call for many of us, an impetus or reinforcement of the “carpe diem” or “seize the day” concept.
RV & Trailer Travel: A Safer Option During COVID-19
With regard to travel, seizing the day means finding other means of journeys that are within our reach and viable in the COVID era. One needn’t look any further for a prime example of that than RV and trailer travel.
With a recreational vehicle (RV), trailer or camper, you get the benefit of being able to hit the open road at a moment’s notice – just gas ‘er up and you’re ready to roll.
Even better, when you set out on your RV travels, you’re taking with you a whole host of personal safety options in the battle to stay safe and healthy against COVID-19.
Your RV or trailer is your home away from home. No worries about checking into a hotel, dealing with the public, and having to sleep in a bed and use the room and hotel facilities in the hopes and trust that the staff and other customers have all done their part to keep COVID at bay.
A trailer or RV also serves as your personal kitchen and dining room. Again, concerns are alleviated with regard to restaurant safety and hygiene, eating around other people or even shutdowns due to COVID restrictions.
And an RV or trailer also enables you to have your personal lavatory facilities at your service at all times. No more searching for the nearest washroom or having the headache and legitimate concerns of whether the washroom has been sanitized and who else has been using it.
Those are all great reasons to opt for an RV or trailer as your travel option.
Which brings up the next question a lot of prospective buyers ask here at our Ottawa RV dealership.
