One of my team members at work frequently takes his family on vacation on a whim. He often asks me for travel advice, so I have become fairly privy to many of his plans. He books air travel and hotels in places like Puerta Vallarta and Palm Springs. He is aware that my family and I are avid RV travelers so he often asks me about it. He has suggested that he should rent a small RV for his family, but he is so accustomed to flying that he is wary of trying a new way of travel. I have had discussions with him regarding the price comparisons of RV travel vs. travelling by air.
