How have the higher gas prices affected the way you use your RV?

“I don’t run my fridge off gas, just off electric, so that helps.”

ERIKA BROWN, HOLDEN

“It didn’t affect us, because we bought a bigger camper last year anyway. But we’re going to try not to go very far this year.”

ANDRE DOIRON, FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK

“Our gas in Canada is a lot more expensive. It’s about $1.19 a liter, which is about $4.75 in gallons. So we actually save some money coming to the U.S.”

DALE GILBEY, FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK

“It hasn’t really, only because my Dodge Sprinter gets the best mileage for a vehicle of its size. I was willing to spend $8,000 more for a diesel engine that gets between 22 and 26 miles per gallon.”

KATE JUDY, DEDHAM

“I own a campground, and while in the campground industry there’s been a lot of talk, our business is actually way up this summer. … People are staying closer and longer.”

ALAN BROWN, HOLDEN

“We’re still going places, but we bought a lightweight trailer. If we keep small, we can still go.”

MAXINE GILBEY, FREDERICTON, NEW BRUNSWICK
