Brrr……It’s getting cold! But, we’re still renting RVs! While the North East may not seem like the ideal place to take an RV, you can always take our RVs South in the winter! The winter months are a great time to visit places like Virginia, The Carolinas, Georgia, and more! You get the chance to enjoy more mild weather, typically reduced crowds, and you get to enjoy getting there in one of our RVs. In this post we’ll highlight a few of the “closer” areas to explore!
