When visiting Pontiac, Illinois, or anywhere in the vicinity, consider traveling in an RV as opposed to staying in a hotel room. According to GoRVing.com, "Only a family taking a vacation by personal car with hotel or renting a condo and cooking for themselves would spend less than a family taking a trip in a high-end motorhome." In addition, today's RVs have just as much space as a hotel room and a lot more comforts that you can appreciate when you return from a day of visiting Pontiac's swinging bridges and other tourist attractions.
