(ARA) - For many Americans, along with retirement comes the luxury
of time to travel. After decades of working, seniors relish the
idea of hitting the road in their RV or travel trailer. Here are
some suggestions to help seniors have a more organized, safe, and
cost-efficient RV trip:
(Have you shopped your RV insurance lately? If you own a motorhome
or travel trailer, you should occasionally review your
recreational vehicle insurance policy. Why? Because you could be
over-paying for your RV insurance coverage, and not getting the
specialized coverage offered by companies that specialize in motor
home or travel trailer insurance. RV America specializes in RVs.
They can be reached at 800-400-0186. Call today and one of their
RV insurance specialists can help you find the right motorhome
insurance at the right price.)
Leave a Detailed RV Trip Itinerary -- Give a detailed travel
itinerary to a friend or family member including the names,
addresses, and telephone numbers of the people and places where
you will visit.
Pack Medications Properly -- Refill prescriptions before leaving
for your RV trip, and keep phone numbers for doctors and
pharmacies close at hand. Also, consider packing a note from your
doctor explaining why the medication is needed.
Carry Prepaid Phone Cards -- Include prepaid phone cards on your
RV travel checklist. According to the Independent Traveler, a
comprehensive online travel guide, prepaid phone cards are the
easiest, simplest, and cheapest way to make international calls.
"About one-third of vacationing Americans use prepaid phone cards
as their primary means of communicating while on the road," said
Brad Kropf, director, prepaid solutions at Sprint. "By offering
prepaid phone cards that are both convenient and affordable,
Sprint is helping seniors stay connected while traveling
throughout the country and abroad."
