Why Families Are Choosing Membership
For decades, ownership was the goal. You bought the thing, stored it, maintained it, and hoped you used it enough to justify the cost.
But for modern families, that mindset is changing.
From streaming to rideshares to vacation homes, access is replacing ownership—and motorhome travel is no exception. Today, more families are discovering that owning an RV isn’t the only way (or even the best way) to enjoy the adventure.
Here’s why access over ownership is becoming the smarter choice.
Ownership Used to Mean Freedom. Now It Often Means Friction.
RV ownership used to make sense when:
Prices were lower
Storage was easier
Insurance was simpler
Families traveled more frequently
In today’s world, ownership often brings:
High upfront costs
Rapid depreciation
Ongoing maintenance
Storage headaches
Time-consuming cleanup
Instead of creating freedom, ownership can quietly add stress and responsibility.
Predictable Costs Matter More Than Ever
Families today prioritize financial clarity.
Ownership costs fluctuate:
Surprise repair bills
Rising insurance premiums
Storage fee increases
Seasonal maintenance
Membership provides:
Predictable monthly costs
Fewer surprise expenses
Easier budgeting
When families know what travel costs ahead of time, they travel more often.
Time Is More Valuable Than Stuff
Modern families are busier than ever.
Between work, school, sports, and activities, many people don’t want to:
Maintain a vehicle
Winterize systems
Clean tanks
Schedule repairs
Access removes the busywork and gives families something more valuable: time together.
Flexibility Beats Commitment
Ownership locks you into:
One vehicle type
One floorplan
One long-term decision
Access allows:
Trying different motorhomes
Scaling up or down as kids grow
Traveling when it fits your life—not when the RV “needs to be used”
Flexibility is freedom.
Access Still Feels Like Ownership—Without the Downsides
The best access models don’t feel like rentals.
They offer:
Well-maintained motorhomes
Clean, ready-to-go vehicles
Support when you need it
No pressure to “get your money’s worth”
Options like Blue Collar Country Club give families the ownership experience—without ownership responsibility.
