Travelers Are Skipping Challenging Drives With RV Delivery

Recreational vehicles sit in a lot waiting for delivery at Horizon Transport in Wakarusa, Ind. on July 15, 2014. RV delivery is a growing trend that allows travelers to enjoy all of the conveniences of staying in an RV without actually having to drive it. Several companies offer delivery services for customers who rent, which can not only be more convenient, but also more affordable. (James Buck/The Elkhart Truth via AP)

(AP) -- San Diego-based mom of two Audrey Patterson frequently vacations in an RV with her family. But she’s actually only driven an RV once — a brief stretch near Burbank, California — en route to Yosemite National Park for their 2021 summer vacation.

“I was super overwhelmed, and I just felt bad for everyone — especially my husband,” Patterson says.
