Are You Old Enough?

Most all of us are on the lookout for a bargain but especially is that true for full time RVers.  Since RV travel can be expensive, saving a few dollars here and there can help. Add to that the factor of a fixed income and these discounts can be downright handy.

We often don't like to admit to being seniors but this is one of the few advantages so, by golly, let's take advantage.  As you'll notice, many of these discounts are good beginning at age 50!  Imagine.  You're only a babe at 50.  TeeHee.

A little research turned up these discounts but I'm sure there are many more.  Always verify discounts before assuming since these establishments could change their policy at any time.  And if you visit somewhere not on the list, remember it never hurts to ask if they have a senior discount. 

Many RV Parks, (including Hidden Valley-10% off entire stay for 55+) and hotels/motels give a senior discount also.  The best time to get lodging discounts is when reserving in advance.
