 The great American road trip remains intact Reuters Share     No longer just popular among college students and retirees, the RV road trip we believe is set for a big comeback with the introduction of the 2011 Eddie Bauer Airstream. While more popular with all age groups in countries like Australia, RVing hasn't quite caught on with younger travelers in America.

Wall-to-wall motor homes, travel trailers, boats, golf carts and all-terrain vehicles recently filled the Peoria Civic Center for the 29th annual Central Illinois Recreational Show. "We're pretty proud of covering the entire umbrella of outdoor shows, and we pride ourselves on being a family show," said Denny Johnston, show coordinator for Events Ltd. "As the economy has gotten tighter, this business just keeps opening up. A guy doesn't want to spend all his money at a hotel.

RVing today is not your grandfather's RVing. While you can do a budget trip — since rental costs and gas prices may not make RVing much cheaper than hotel/drive vacations — you can just as easily surround yourself in luxury. From the RVs themselves, to the campgrounds created for them, upscale amenities are being added all the time. More
