How to book a flight with RBC Avion Rewards points

One of the options for redeeming Avion Rewards credit cards is to use your points towards airfare anywhere in the world. Here’s how this works for a fixed-point exchange .

RBC Avion Rewards Points

There are several RBC Avion Rewards credit cards. The one used for this example is the RBC Visa Infinite Avion Card .

With this exceptional offer for the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card, you can earn up to 55,000 Avion points:

• 35,000 Avion points on approval
• 20,000 Avion bonus points when you spend $5,000 in your first 6 months

This offer expires on April 30, 2024, and will not be renewed. Take advantage of it before it’s too late !

You can use your Avion Rewards points for travel or redeem them with other loyalty programs such as :

• American Airlines AAdvantage
• British Airways Executive Club (and Qatar Airways Privilege Club)
• Cathay Pacific Asia Miles
• WestJet Rewards

For example, with the current welcome offer, you can get 55,000 British Airways Avios Points or 550 WestJet Dollars .

With the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card, you earn 1 point per dollar and 1.25 points for travel purchases.

And you’ll benefit from a wide range of insurance coverage: Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance, Out-of-Province/Country Emergency Medical Insurance, Rental Vehicle Collision/Loss Damage Insurance, Mobile Device Insurance.

RBC Avion Rewards points can be used to travel anywhere in the world with a round-trip ticket. A one-way trip requires half as many Avion points. Here is the airfare table for a round-trip flight:

On average this equals about 2 cents per Avion point .

How to Book an Airline Ticket with RBC Avion Rewards Points

With 35,000 Avion points, I could afford a plane ticket to Canada or the United States.

From your RBC Online Banking profile, click on the blue Avion Rewards button.

Then, on the Trips page, click on Book a Trip .

Avion Rewards acts like a travel agency. Generally, the prices are the same as the ones found on the sites of the carriers and tour operators.

Its search tool allows you to use RBC Avion Rewards points to book :

• A car rental
• Hotel stays
• Or Vacation Packages

After entering your desired dates and destinations, the results will be displayed. On the left, there is a filter for options.

In this example, the non-stop and no change fee options are selected.

35,000 points can be redeemed on a flight costing up to $750.

In this example, I have chosen a higher class. This exceeds the $750, the remaining balance is added to the taxes and fees.

In my case, the same flight cost about $1,000 on the Air Canada website. This equates to 2.14 cents per point , ($750 divided by 35,000 points) which is excellent!

On the checkout page, RBC shows the points required to book this airline ticket. Any remaining point balance can be used to reduce the tax and fee balance.

For example, 90 points were used to lower the balance by 90 cents. The rest is to be paid with a credit card.

Enter the traveler’s information and make the payment.

An email from RBC Avion Rewards will be sent moments later to confirm. A few minutes later (or a few hours for some), the airline will send confirmation in a separate email. All the details will be there, including the reservation number.

How to Manage an Airline Ticket Purchased with RBC Avion Rewards Points

The booked trip can be found in the My Trips section of the RBC Avion Rewards portal. A link redirects you to the airline’s website.

You will be able to link this reservation to your frequent flyer profile. Here I entered my Aeroplan membership number.

Since I had taken the Comfort fare on Air Canada, I was able to choose a Prefered seat at no charge. This must be done directly on the Air Canada website.

Please note that to change or cancel a flight purchased through the RBC Avion Rewards portal, you must call the RBC Travel Centre directly at 1-877-636-2870.

The airline will not be able to do anything on their end and they will refer you to RBC. Any changes have a cost of $25 for each ticket .

There is also the option to chat with a virtual agent on the RBC site in the Help section.

In addition, if you have eUpgrades with Air Canada, you have the option to apply them at check-in 24 hours prior to your flight.

When your flight is completed, points and qualifications are deposited into your account based on the fare booked.

For example, the Comfort rate booked through RBC gave :

• Aeroplan Points

This counts towards your Aeroplan Status .

Here are other ways to use RBC Avion points .

Another way to redeem RBC Avion Rewards points for travel

Occasionally, the Avion Rewards site may experience technical difficulties or your flight may not appear in the search results.

At that time, call Avion Rewards Customer Service at 1-800-769-2512.

• Get an authorization number to book the flight you want (mandatory);
• Book your own flight directly on the desired airline’s website;
• Send an e-mail to [email protected] with your authorization number obtained earlier from Customer Service, your name, the number of tickets reserved, proof of purchase and itinerary details.

Avion Rewards will then deduct the required points from your RBC Rewards points account to credit the cost of your airline tickets, according to their airfare table.

Best ways to redeem:.

RBC Avion points are an incredibly useful, transferrable reward currency for Canadians.

Its diverse suite of transfer partners and ease of earning make it a great program to include as part of your points-earning endeavours.

Before we go further, it’s important to distinguish between the different tiers of RBC Avion Rewards. There are subtypes of Avion points: Avion Select, Avion Premium, and Avion Elite.

Avion Elite is the highest Avion Rewards tier, and has the most redemption flexibility. Both Avion Elite and Avion Premium points are earned through RBC credit cards, and can be transferred from one account to the other, if you hold a credit card that earns Avion Elite points.

Comparatively, Avion Select points are a recent addition to the RBC Avion program, and these aren’t nearly as valuable as the other two tiers.

Avion Select points are earned through applicable shopping activity, and can’t be combined with Avion Elite or Avion Premium points.

In this guide, we’ll be focusing on Avion Elite points, while exploring the possibilities of earning Avion Premium points for the sole purpose of converting the Premium points into Elite points.

Earning RBC Avion Points

The main way to earn RBC Avion points is through RBC credit cards. You can rack up Avion points through credit card welcome bonuses and through everyday spending.

Credit cards will earn either Avion Elite points or Avion Premium points.

The credit cards that earn Avion Elite points include all from the RBC Avion lineup.

Meanwhile, the cards that earn Avion Premium points are from the RBC ION lineup.

As long as you have at least one of the RBC Avion cards from the first list, you’ll be able to freely transfer Avion Premium points earned from the ION cards in the second list to your Avion Elite rewards account.

Transferring Avion points from Premium points to Elite points will give you a lot more redemption options.

Credit Card Welcome Bonuses

The best way to earn RBC Avion points is through welcome bonuses.

Welcome bonuses fluctuate depending on the current promotion. However, you can usually expect an RBC Avion card to come with a welcome bonus of 15,000–35,000 Avion points, with the bonus sometimes getting as high as 55,000 Avion points if you’re able to meet the associated spending requirements.

Despite having similar welcome bonuses, the Avion cards do all have slight differences in the benefits they offer, their earning rates, and their annual fees.

The RBC® Avion Visa Platinum†, RBC® Avion Visa Infinite†, and RBC® Avion Visa Business  all have an annual fee of $120 (all figures in CAD).

Meanwhile, the RBC® Avion Visa Infinite† Business has an annual fee of $175, and lastly, the RBC® Avion Visa Infinite Privilege† card has the highest annual fee at $399.

With the higher annual fees, you can usually expect to also see additional benefits, such as higher earning rates and access to airport lounges.

By comparison, the RBC ION cards seriously lag behind in terms of welcome bonuses offered, often ranging from 3,500–7,000 Avion Premium points.

However, the ION cards do have minimal annual fees, with the RBC® ION Visa having no annual fee, and the RBC® ION+ Visa charging a fee of only $4 per month.

Credit Card Spending

In addition to earning the welcome bonus, you’re also able to earn Avion points on your day-to-day purchases.

The RBC Avion-branded credit cards come with the following earning rates on daily spending:

RBC® Avion Visa Infinite†

• 1.25 Avion points per dollar spent on all travel purchases (flights, hotels, car rentals, etc.)
• 1 Avion point per dollar spent on all other qualifying purchases

RBC® Avion Visa Platinum†

• 1 Avion point per dollar spent on all qualifying purchases

RBC® Avion Visa Infinite Privilege†

• 1.25 Avion points per dollar spent on all qualifying purchases

RBC® Avion Visa Business

RBC® Avion Visa Infinite† Business

The RBC ION cards, earning Avion Premium points instead of Avion Elite points, have better earning rates than the cards above, despite fetching little to no annual fees.

Although the ION cards earn less valuable Avion Premium points, you can easily transfer the Avion Premium points earned through ION cards to Avion Elite points at a rate of 1:1, if you hold one of the Avion cards listed above.

The two cards through which you can earn Avion Premium points have the following earning rates:

RBC® ION Visa

• 1.5 Avion points per dollar spent on qualifying grocery, gas, rideshare, daily public transit, electric vehicle charging, streaming, digital gaming, and digital subscriptions

RBC® ION+ Visa

• 3 Avion points per dollar spent on qualifying grocery, dining, food delivery, gas, rideshare, daily public transit, electric vehicle charging, streaming, digital gaming, and digital subscriptions
• 1 Avion point per dollar spent spent on all other qualifying purchases

Avion Rewards

A relatively recent addition to the RBC Avion program is Avion Rewards, which is open for RBC clients and non-clients alike.

Since all points transactions are made under its platform, those with an Avion or ION card product have automatically been registered to Avion Rewards, while those with other RBC products may use their existing RBC credentials to enroll.

Under Avion Rewards, you may benefit from two types of offers: “save & earn” offers, and “shop now” offers.

The former lets you earn Avion points, discounts, and cash back when you use your eligible RBC card at participating online and in-store establishments. Meanwhile, the latter lets you earn cash back on online purchases, akin to the Aeroplan eStore and Rakuten.

Examples of save & earn Avion points offers are as follows:

• Earn 1,000 Avion points when you spend $300 or more at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels in Canada
• Earn 10x Avion points on Lyft rides
• Earn 2x Avion points on eligible Apple purchases

For save & earn offers, you must opt into each offer by logging into your Avion Rewards account.

Redeeming RBC Avion Points

The best feature of the RBC Avion program is the flexible nature of Avion points.

Avion Elite points can be transferred to airline loyalty programs, redeemed through RBC’s Air Travel Redemption Schedule , or cashed out through gift cards or statement credits.

Comparatively, Avion Premium points aren’t quite as valuable on their own.

Avion Premium points can only be transferred to WestJet Rewards , or they can be cashed out for statement credits and gift cards. Notably, Avion Premium points cannot be transferred to any other airline loyalty program and can’t be used to book travel through RBC’s Air Travel Redemption Schedule.

Given this, the best use of RBC Avion Premium points is simply to transfer them to RBC Avion Elite points, which you can easily do as long as  you have a Avion credit card.

Even if you don’t currently have an Avion credit card, it’s still best to save your Avion Premium points, and make plans to get an Avion credit card in the future.

For this reason, we’ll look exclusively at the redemption options for RBC Avion Elite points.

Transferring to Partner Programs

You can transfer your RBC Avion Elite points at a 1:1 ratio to British Airways Executive Club (Avios) and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, and to WestJet Rewards at a rate of 1 Avion point = $0.01 in WestJet Dollars (WSD).

You can also transfer Avion Elite points to American Airlines AAdvantage at a rate of 10 Avion points = 7 AAdvantage miles.

British Airways Executive Club is great for short-haul journeys, as well as long-haul trips in economy class.

One amazing sweet spot is transferring British Airways Avios to Qatar Airways Avios at a 1:1 ratio. From there, you can book Qatar Airways QSuites one-way from North America to Doha for only 70,000 Qatar Airways Avios.

It’s also worth noting that RBC regularly offers transfer bonus promotions from Avion to British Airways Executive Club. Historically, the most common promotional offer is a 30% bonus on point transfers.

Lastly, keep in mind that there are a few restrictions on the ability to transfer points to these partners. In particular, for British Airways Avios, American AAdvantage, and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles, you need to transfer a minimum of 10,000 Avion points at a time. However, there is no such restriction for transfers to WestJet Rewards.

RBC Air Travel Redemption Schedule

If you’re not interested in transferring your Avion points to an airline loyalty program, you can still get great value by redeeming points through the RBC Air Travel Redemption Schedule.

While you won’t be able to get outsized value for your points, you’ll still get more value through this avenue than if you redeemed Avion points for a statement credit or for gift cards.

Through the Air Travel Redemption Schedule, you’ll be able to redeem Avion Elite points at a fixed rate for the base fare of any flight booked through the Avion Rewards portal, powered by Expedia.

Each redemption option allows you to use the specified number of points towards a listed maximum base fare.

It’s important to note that you’ll be responsible to pay for any base fare amount that’s over the maximum base fare listed in each category, as well as for the taxes and additional fees.

If you wish to redeem Avion points for the additional costs, you can choose to do so, albeit at the lower redemption rate of 1 cent per Avion point.

When using RBC’s Air Travel Redemption Schedule to book a flight, you’ll get a value of up to 2.3 cents per Avion point, depending on the origin and destination of your trip and the cost of the base fare.

The maximum value of 2.3 cents per Avion point can be found in the “Quick Getaway” category when you redeem 15,000 Avion points for the maximum return-trip base fare of $350.

In all the other categories, the maximum value you’ll be able to extract is 2 cents per Avion point, when booking a round-trip for the maximum base fare amount.

As an example, if you were to redeem 100,000 Avion points for a round-trip flight from Toronto to Lima with a base fare cost of $1,700, you would receive a value of 1.7 cents per point.

Notably, with the Air Travel Redemption Schedule, the number of Avion points required for a redemption in each category doesn’t fluctuate with the cost of the base fare.

Using the above example of the round-trip flight between Toronto and Lima, even if the base fare was only $900, you would still need to redeem 100,000 Avion Elite points.

Based on this, to extract maximum value from your Avion points when using the Air Travel Redemption Schedule, you’ll want to aim to redeem for base fares that are as close to the category’s maximum base fare as possible.

For this reason, the fixed-rate redemption chart can be particularly valuable for bookings during busy times of year, such as holiday seasons, when travel costs are elevated.

This is because the fixed-rate nature of the Air Travel Redemption Chart allows you to book these more expensive dates of travel for the same number of points as a cheaper date of travel (assuming the base fare remains below the maximum threshold for the category).

Travel Credit

Another option for redeeming your Avion Elite points is for fixed-rate travel statement credits through the Avion Rewards platfo.

By booking through this avenue, most cardholders will receive a fixed rate of 1 cent per point, and if you hold the RBC® Avion Visa Infinite Privilege† or the RBC® Avion Visa Infinite† Business , you’ll have access to a fixed rate of 2 cents per point if you’re booking a business class or First Class flight.

When compared to the Air Travel Redemption Schedule , this may seem like a similar or even slightly worse valuation; however, it can actually prove to be better in certain scenarios.

As we mentioned above, when redeeming Avion points through the Air Travel Redemption Schedule, you are required to redeem the set number of points regardless of the cost of the base fare, as long as it’s under the maximum amount.

Looking at the “Explore North America” category from the Air Travel Redemption Schedule, this means that even if the base fare ends up being less than the $750 maximum listed, you’ll still have to pay the full 35,000 Avion points.

Taking a deeper dive, based on the redemption rate of 1 Avion point = 1 cent, the 35,000 Avion points required for this booking is equal to $350.

This means that if you’re looking at redemptions using the Air Travel Redemption Schedule and you find a base fare within this category for less than $350, you’ll be better off booking the flight on your own and then redeeming your Avion points for a travel credit.

Other ways to Redeem Avion Points

Beyond what’s already been mentioned, RBC provides a number of additional options for redeeming Avion points through the Avion Rewards platform. However, these options are not particularly valuable.

For example, you can use points to send e-transfers, pay bills, add to your existing investments, make a mortgage payment, or even pay off your credit card.

For most of these financial redemption options, you’ll get a value of 0.83 cents per point, and if you want to pay your credit card directly, the value is only 0.58 cents per point.

You can access better value than this by redeeming Avion points for gift cards, with some options offering value as high as 1 cent per point (and occasionally higher during promotions), but the best value can still found by transferring Avion Elite points to partner airline loyalty programs.

One additional option is to redeem Avion points for merchandise, but similarly to the other non-travel redemption options, this doesn’t offer nearly as much value for your Avion points.

RBC Avion is an important rewards program that can help unlock some amazing sweet spots through transfers to partnered airline loyalty programs, such as British Airways Executive Club and Cathay Pacific Asia Miles.

Thanks to its unique set of transfer partners, the relative ease of accumulating points via RBC’s Avion- and ION-branded credit cards, and the frequency of transfer promotions, Avion points are extremely useful to collect as a way to supplement the other major Canadian points programs.

Can you tell me how is the Avion Visa Infinite Card better than say.. the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite? RBC Avion Visa Infinite – earn 1.25 points on travel, 1 point everywhere else – transfer points to Cathay/American Airlines/WestJet/British Airway RBC British Airways Visa Infinite -earn 3 points when buying British Airway tickets, 2 points on Dining/Grocery, 1 point everything else

Yes. The Visa Infinite appears to have better flexibility on paper, but since all of those airlines are part of the one-world alliance, you automatically have access to all those airlines anyways, does that “flexibility” even still matter? With the BA card you are very likely to earn much more points? The BA card does cost $45 more annualy, but as it earn more points I think that’s justifiable? not to mention the BA card also gives a free companion voucher every year?

Hi Jon, there a pros and cons to each card mentioned. As you said, one advantage of the Avion family of cards is the ability to transfer to more than one partner program. While British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and American Airlines are all One World airlines, each program has unique sweet spots that can be utilized. There are also occasional transfer bonuses when transferring Avion points to partner programs. You mentioned the British Airways card having a free companion voucher, however this voucher in only awarded after spending $30,000 in a calendar year. An underrated strategy with Avion cards is pairing an RBC ION+ card with an Avion, and taking advantage of the 3x earn rates in popular categories offered by the ION+. An Avion/ION+ combination would have annual feels of $168 ($120 + $48), just about equal to the British Airways Visa Infinite’s $165 annual fee. One other advantage to the Avion/ION+ cards is that you can apply for the Avion Platinum card if you do not meet the $60,000 income threshold of a Visa Infinite product.

I tried Transferring Avion Points to Qatar Airlines and it did not work. Apparently, Qatar Airlines requires to have at least 1000 points balance in order to transfer or purchase additional points 🙁 However, I had a great experience with British Airways – a great value for the tickets!

You can’t transfer directly from RBC Avions to Qatar Avios, only RBC Avions to BA Avios. And if your BA Avios is connected to QR Avios, then you can freely move the Avios between the 2 airlines program

i’ve held the RBC infinite priveledge card for over a year now and finally used it for a redemption at 2cpp (flight for myself & family from Tokyo to Manila this december 2023). I’m so impressed by the discount on the tickets I got via the points redemption that I’m eager to earn more avion points. I wish I could transfer points from my wife’s regular Visa infinite (RBC) avion to mine which gets 2cpp but as far as I can tell this isn’t allowed.

Hi Ricky, Does RBC qualify you back for a welcome bonus if you already received one ?

Generally yes

You never know! 😉

I sometime find booking though airlines is cheaper than using the RBC reward travel orbitz. Does RBC offer price matching?

Can I use my avion points to up grade at the AIRPORT the day of departure.

There’s no easy way to do this. Your best bet would be to bid-upgrade with cash.

can transfer my westjet dollars to avion

Can you redeem Avion points for statement credit.

I’m short 2000 points for a flight . Can you buy points?

Hi, Just wondering if you know when the next RBC avion to westjet dollar promotion is?

I don’t believe this conversion bonus is ever coming back.

Hi Ricky, any idea if there’ll be another transfer bonus to Avios this year?

With it being mid-November already, it’s looking doubtful.

Hi, Can you use RBC Infinite Avion points to redeem PREMIUM Economy class of Air Canada. e.g. 100,000 points from Canada to Middle East. Or does RBC only allow to redeem Economy class?

Avion vs Airstream Compared: Which Trailer Is The Best?

• Latest Posts

For families fond of adventure, travel trailers are an investment worth making. They provide comfort and protection which tents can’t provide and help save the cost of booking hotels while on the move. Both Avion vs Airstream are designed to provide spacious and luxury living while on the road.

A travel trailer will generally tow on to the back of a truck and can be unlatched to your desired campsite making it easier for you to explore and enjoy the outdoors. It’s generally less expensive if you happen to travel a great deal and is more spacious being a whole home-compartment on its own.

That said, these towable RVs range from a simple tent on wheels to luxury homes fitting with all the furniture and equipment you’d need. With all the sizes, features and builds available on the market, making the right decision can be a little daunting.

For example, retro-style teardrop trailers may be fanciful to look at, but due to their usual small size, it might not be a suitable choice for families or groups. Given the price tag associated with each, it’s important to make sure the trailer you opt for is made for your specific use.

Airstream is one of the most popular lines of travel trailers. However, you might have noticed Avion RVs often mentioned along-side. The deeper you dive, the more confusing it can get. Therefore, let’s simplify things for you and figure out which style would suit you best.

Avion vs Airstream: What’s the Difference?

Avion is actually a defunct line of trailers by Fleetwood, whereas the Airstream is a more modern rendition. They have many similarities so much so the Avion is referred to as the Airstream’s second cousin. There are some significant differences between them, which are as follows:

• The Airstream has more modern fitting – Given Avion is no longer in production, its counterpart is basically fitted with more modern, smart controls.
• Avion has a better build quality – While not profound, Airstream’s aluminum exterior is lighter and slightly less durable than Avion.
• Airstream has less storage space – Cubby Holes and overhead bins found within the Avion line is significantly more spacious and offers a larger open outlet.
• Avion is less comparatively less expensive – Airstreams will be generally more expensive but has the virtue of being new. Avion models are usually revamped by sellers but will have a few years on them.

Their differences offer insight but in order to understand how either can enrich your life, you need to fully understand what each trailer offers. So, dive right in the details.

Avion Travel Trailers

Avion Trailers were first manufactured in 1956 by the now-defunct Fleetwood company. When searching for trailers, you’d like to look at the model with the seller’s information in order to know the exact features. Models of Avion Travel Trailers by its manufacture year include:

• The 50’s:  26′ Regal, 23′ Rover, and 20′ Rambler
• The 60’s : 30′ Imperial, 24′ Holiday and 21′ Tourist
• The 70’s : 31′ LaGrande, 31′ Imperial, 28′ Travelcader and 25′ Voyageur
• The 80’s: V-model, W-model, 28A-model, 30P-model, 34X-model,  32S-model, 35X-model, and Silver Anniversary Model
• 1989 : Dura-Brite aluminum painted models
• The 90s: 5th Wheel trailers

One of the prime reasons Avion holds a special space in the hearts of trailer enthusiasts is its aluminum build and its unique features.

The aluminum skin gave the trailer a modern-looking mirror finish while amping up its resistance factor.  The units are generally satin-finished Anodized Aluminium which prevents dents and scraps as well as reduces the appearance of scratches.

It also utilized heavy-duty steel to construct triple beams for added support. Avions generally lie in between the 20’ range but 31 ½’ trailers.

For a premium towing experience, the revolutionary MOR/Ryde suspension system was included and became standard equipment for travel trailers. It’s frame members are 6 inches deep and are constructed from Urethane foam called Thermo-X by the company for added insulation and rigidity. Plexiglas acrylic windows were used by the company up until 1972 as well.

Its interior furnishings were made from hardwood and were built to last. Overall, Avion Travel Trailers were made from some of the best materials and provided a home-like feel to its users.

Avion Trailer Specifications

• Anodized Aluminium Finish
• Hardwood Furnishing
• 6” deep Thermo-X frame
• Dual Furnace for Controlled Heating
• Triple Entry Steps
• Exterior Storage Compartments with Overhead options available
• MOR/Ryde Suspension System or Adjust-a-Ryde suspension variations
• Heavy-duty Build Quality – Given their present popularity, it should be no surprise that Avion trailers are built to last.
• Hardwood Furnishing – When it comes to comfort, the hardwood furnishing would keep you at ease of use. The bathrooms are also usually fitting with porcelain materials thereby adding to their longevity and comfort factors.
• Excellent Suspension Options –  Avions generally either use a MOR-Ryde suspension system or the Adjust-a-Ryde system; both of which are excellent and should be fairly easy to use.
• Superior Spacing for Storage – Despite resembling similar to an Airstream in its construction, the Avion uses its spacing well to provide a full layout with better storage facility.
• Not Easily Available – Unlike more modern options, Avions are sold by resellers and are not so readily available for purchase.
• May Require Renovations – Due to its age, your particular unit may require renovations which could bring up the costs significantly.
• Heavier Compared to Newer Models – Although it is considered to be much sturdier, it is heavier than your standard trailers which should be taken into account along-with your towing vehicles’ capacity.

Avion vs Airstream: What to Look Out For

When buying a travel trailer, there are a few decision swaying questions you want to have mentally answered. It gives you a layout for the type, model and features you need in your coach for comfortable living. Here are a few things you should consider:

How you intend to use your trailer is a fundamental question to answer. It relates to the type of traveling you intend to do, for what duration and in what climate. For example, the more vintage RVs may not have the insulation required for comfortable living in colder environments. It might be wise to opt for newer models which have been geared and tested in different weathers.

Future Compatibility

Regardless of the type of RV you choose, it’s going to cost you a pretty penny. These towable homes are built to last and therefore, are a worthwhile investment if you play your cards right. Take a moment to think a few years ahead.

To the requirements you have or the trips, you plan on taking. Would they be possible on the choice you make? Or, will you need to upgrade? This will help set up your budget while narrowing down a trailer which can feel like home.

Spacing Layout

From the kitchen to your bathroom, take a good look at the space you have available. Aside from your storage, your lounging and the relaxing area should be able to accommodate your living.

Kitchens, for example, are often overlooked and can be the reason for individuals wanting to change their trailer. Don’t try to fit within the trailer, instead opt for one which allows you to conduct yourself comfortably without making you compromise.

Used or New?

In the case of vintage trailers, used is most-like the only option, but you can buy used/renovated models of newer RVs as well. Take a look around or keep in touch with your local seller to know what types of listing they have around before making the choice for yourself.

If you do end up going the used route, it would be worthwhile to conduct a third-party inspection to ensure you’re getting value for your investment.

Resale value

Most RV owners end up changing their main trailer from time to time or they may buy one for a few years only; that’s when resale value comes in handy. While you won’t recover the full amount, the ideal coach would allow you to recover some of your investment through sale, if desired. For example, the Airstream would have a better resale than an Avion and for some, it would make the latter a less lucrative investment.

Renovations and Maintenance costs

Whether you buy new or used, you may wish to upgrade or change-up a few things within your trailer. Those costs should be taken into account, as well as any additional maintenance costs associated with either option.

To know about overtime costs, gauge the insulation, heating/cooling systems and any gas/electrical outputs you need to continually run your machine. You should also count in your own handyman skills to take care of any issues which may add in costs if repairs are to be made.

Always consider the warranty you’re receiving from your sellers. Most vintage trailers will not have any warranty but newer ones generally come with a 24-month warranty which help guard against issues which may occur.

Model Variations

Once you’ve selected the type of towable home you need, take a look at the models available for sizes and features unique to them. It will help you hone in on the exact trailer you need.

Always take your own budget into account when making a purchase. Trailers are an investment and should be made wisely. You can always upgrade once you do have the means to do so. Therefore, always make the most economical decision according to the aforementioned factors.

Personal Preference

Lastly, don’t discount your own personal preference. The hype regarding products comes and goes, but you should be comfortable during your journey in a home which is a utility to you. Take some time to clear your mind and make a choice according to what you think is best.

Avion vs Airstream: Which One Should You Get?

Once you have your trailer specifications figured out, you’ll have a much better idea of which model and brand you should go for. Our personal recommendation leans towards the Airstream .

While the Avion has a better build quality in its preserved state and is less expensive, its maintenance and repairs can pose challenges for beginners or casual RV users. The trailers in circulation are not currently manufactured and their parts are not readily available.

Many Avion owners have to conduct significant inspections and renovations which raises its overall price significantly. Those who have owned RVs and are capable of its upkeep will find the Avion to be a traveling home that lasts and feels traditionally luxurious.

Airstream would be a preference by the virtue of its maintenance and customer service. You’re covered under a warranty and will be able to buy parts and replacements, if necessary.

The trade-off between build quality is only comparative and the RV itself has earned its reputation has a great option as a towable home for a reason. You can customize the vehicle according to your need, preference, and style.

In order to make the right decision, you should always inspect each RV or use a third-party service. Get all the information you can beforehand so your ultimate decision is right for you and your journeys.

We love airstreams, but don't necessarily love the higher ticket cost. We personally use RVT.com to search for and compare local and regional Airstream inventory for the best deals (literally 1000s of models).

Travel Trailer Safety Tips

Owing a towable home requires some precautions to be taken while you’re out on the road. These include:

• You Need to Know How to Drive with Your RV – It might seem simple enough to drive with an attachment to your truck, but you should always practice beforehand and familiarize yourself with the feel of driving your new trailer. Likewise, take a moment to look into the laws and recommended driving precautions of driving RVs before embarking on your journey.
• Get Insured – Accidents can happen any time and with the best of measures; therefore, to keep yourself secured look into getting insurance which specifically covers RVs.
• Confirm Your Campground Space – In order to not get stranded out of your campground and having to find another spot, which may or may not is safe, confirm your booking before arriving at the location.
• Prepare for the External Factors – Road conditions, constructions or weather changes should all be taken into account and you should be prepared to tackle the challenges to avoid any issues.
• Inspect Your Truck and Trailer Beforehand – Dedicate some time to rundown all the necessary inspections required to ensure your vehicle and trailer are fit to conduct your trip to and from your location.
• Be Wary of Your Electrical Output – On the road, keep yourself aware of the electrical power you have and all the outlets which are using it. You wouldn’t want to overload the output and have a calculated understanding of the power you’re using on a day-to-day basis.
• Take Weight into Account – Your tow truck should be able to accommodate for the weight of your trailer and the additional baggage add-in. Given it affects your ability to drive and navigate, you should ensure the weight is distributed evenly.
• Keep Yourself Accessible – In order to keep yourself open to help, keep in touch with people. Investing in WIFI or 4G plans can help ensure you’re accessible throughout your journey.

The Andersen Hitches Review That You’ll Love

One of the key questions I had to answer when deciding to travel full-time was, “What type of RV am I going to buy?” This is important for several reasons because it dictates your choice of vehicle. If you get a motorhome, you can tow it and get a small sedan or SUV.

If you go with a travel trailer, you can probably get by with a smaller truck like a Ford F150. But if you choose a fifth wheel, you have to have something capable of pulling it. Not only that, but you have to have a hitch that can handle the payload.

Most people choose to go with a standard fifth wheel hitch. This involves backing up the vehicle until the fifth wheel’s tongue snaps into place inside the receiver. But Andersen Hitch has changed the way people think about pulling the fifth wheel.

Is an Andersen hitch right for everyone? Probably not. But this innovative company has created a hitch that redefines the way RV travelers pull their campers. Keep reading t

This answer depends largely on your child's age.

• If your child is under 2 years old and you are purchasing the Deluxe Package or a TravelCare ® Package, then your child receives emergency medical coverage at no extra cost.
• If your child is 2 or older , you'll need to purchase emergency medical coverage for him or her.
• No matter how old your child is , if you've purchased an airline ticket or made a separate trip deposit for him or her, consider buying a travel insurance package or trip cancellation and interruption insurance .

The right coverage for your trip depends on several factors, including (but not limited to) where you're travelling to, how long you’ll be gone, the kind of transportation you'll be using and, in some instances, your overall health. View all of our travel insurance products now.

An accident, illness or medical emergency can happen anywhere, anytime. If you need medical care or treatment in another country, your government health plan may cover only a portion of the costs. Travel insurance starts where these plans leave off.

Plus, with our emergency medical coverage, you have access to the multilingual representatives of Allianz Global Assistance.

Because our representatives are multilingual and have 24-hour access to real-time translation services, we can provide the help you need in your own language—and also have someone to communicate on your behalf with medical personnel who may speak a different language.

Whenever possible, Allianz Global Assistance will also request for the medical service provider within the network to bill the covered medical expenses directly to us instead of you—reducing your stress and hassle.

Yes, if you are travelling outside your home province or territory. There are several reasons why it's important to get travel medical insurance when you're travelling within Canada. One reason is that accidents can happen anywhere. Another is that government health insurance plans do have limits on reimbursement of emergency medical expenses incurred while you are in another province. For example, the ambulance, emergency dental treatment and prescription drugs might not be covered by some government health insurance plans.

You may extend your coverage if you extend your trip, subject to certain conditions of your certificate of insurance.

If you've purchased a single trip plan, the following conditions apply:

• If you have not had a medical condition Definition opens in new window during your trip or while covered under your policy, you can request an extension by contacting us at 1-800-565-3129 before your original policy’s expiry date.
• If you have had a medical condition Definition opens in new window during your trip and while covered under your certificate of insurance, you must request the extension by contacting Allianz Global Assistance. Your extension is subject to the approval of Allianz Global Assistance.
• You must pay the required additional premium before your original insurance expiry date.
• If we are unable to extend your particular coverage due to the trip duration limits of your certificate, you may be able to enroll in a new certificate from us.

If you've purchased a multi-trip annual plan, the following conditions apply:

You may purchase a top-up coverage for the additional number of days beyond the duration covered by your multi-trip annual plan as follows:

• Before your effective date, you may contact us at 1-800-565-3129 to enroll in top-up coverage.
• After your effective date and if you have not had a medical condition Definition opens in new window during your trip, you must contact us at 1-800-565-3129 before your original expiry date to purchase top-up coverage.
• After your effective date and if you have had a medical condition Definition opens in new window during your trip, you must contact Allianz Global Assistance before your original expiry date to request approval for and to enroll in top-up coverage.
• The terms, conditions and exclusions of the new top-up certificate apply to you.
• You must pay the required top-up premium on or before the effective date of the top-up period.

If you do NOT top-up your coverage for a trip, you will not be covered for any claims you make outside the period of insurance for that trip. If the top-up coverage you are purchasing requires you to complete health questions, you must complete the health questions.

Please see the insurance documents for complete coverage details regarding trip extensions.

It may, but not always. We recommend that you carefully review the travel insurance coverage provided by your credit card, as well as any special conditions or stipulations.

Do you have an RBC Royal Bank ® credit card?

Review the travel insurance coverage that comes with your RBC Royal Bank credit card .

We recommend that you carefully review your government health plan coverage. Government plans may not cover all emergency medical expenses once you leave your home province/territory and typically cover only a limited portion once you leave the country. In fact, the Canadian Government (Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada) urges Canadians to purchase supplemental health insurance when leaving the country. They say:

Do not rely on your provincial or territorial health plan to cover costs if you get sick or are injured while abroad. Out-of-country health care can be costly, and your health plan may not cover any medical expenses abroad. It is your responsibility to seek information from your provincial or territorial health authority and to obtain supplementary travel insurance and understand the terms of your policy. 3

Plus, government health insurance plans don't guarantee coverage for special care (air ambulance or emergency dental services, for instance).

Unlike government health insurance plans, our insurance offers you:

• Unlimited coverage for eligible medical expenses 2
• Up-front payment of eligible medical expenses whenever possible
• 24-hour, multilingual emergency medical assistance—one toll-free phone call puts you in touch with a multilingual professional who will refer you to a local doctor or facility in order for you to receive the care you need

Government health insurance plans also don't provide coverage for situations such as lost, damaged or delayed baggage or trip cancellation and interruption. Our travel insurance can provide these coverages and more.

Yes, you do need travel insurance to protect yourself against the unexpected, even if you are going to the United States for a few days. An illness or accident can happen at any time, whether you're on the road for a few days, or a few months. And remember, the cost of health care is very expensive in the United States and very little of this cost would be covered by your government health insurance plan, credit card or company benefits plan. For a short trip, the cost of travel insurance is minimal, and it gives you the protection you need.

If you purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance, it will help pay for your expenses to return home in the event of a covered emergency. There are a number of circumstances that qualify as an emergency (for example, the death or serious illness of a family member). The cost of cancelling a trip prior to departure can be very expensive, as most trips are non-refundable and/or non-transferable, especially if you have to cancel just before leaving on your trip. Having to return early from a trip can also be very expensive. Either way, trip cancellation and interruption insurance is very important to protect your travel investment.

You must purchase coverage before departing on your trip. You may benefit from purchasing coverage as soon as you make your initial trip deposit, especially if you are purchasing trip cancellation and interruption insurance —either as stand-alone coverage or as part of one of our insurance packages .

If you were to book your trip 6 months in advance, consider the unexpected situations that could occur in that time.

If you purchase travel insurance from us, we will pay the eligible bills directly to the hospital or physician whenever possible.

There are a number of sports that are not covered during your trip. For more details, see the Exclusions section of the certificate of insurance document.

You may purchase a top-up policy for the extra number of days beyond the duration covered by your multi-trip annual plan. Here are the conditions:

• After your effective date and if you have had a medical condition Definition opens in new window during your trip, you must contact Allianz Global Assistance before your original expiry date to request approval for and enroll in top-up coverage.
• The terms, conditions and exclusions of the new top-up insurance apply to you.

If you do NOT top-up your coverage for a trip, you will not be covered for any claims you make outside the period of insurance for that trip. If the top-up insurance you are purchasing requires you to complete health questions, you must complete the health questions.

Please see the certificate of insurance document for complete coverage details regarding top-up coverage.

If you purchase one of our travel medical insurance plans—either Classic Medical or TravelCare ® Medical—you can, subject to certain conditions:

• If you are travelling for more than 183 days, you may purchase single trip coverage for up to 365 days provided that you are covered under your government health plan for the full duration of your trip.
• If you are 40-74 years of age , you must also answer a few health questions, which will determine whether you are eligible to purchase coverage for trips beyond 183 days.

Yes, if you are travelling with your spouse/partner and children or other family members, you could save money with our family plan pricing.

The cost of a trip can be a significant financial investment. A lot can also happen in the time between booking your trip and departing—if a medical emergency or other unexpected event prevents you from going on your trip, you could potentially lose some (or possibly all) of the money you paid.

With trip cancellation and interruption insurance, you're protected when certain situations prevent you from travelling as planned. Examples include:

• You can't travel due to an illness, job loss or immediate family member's medical emergency
• You need to return home earlier than scheduled because of a family emergency or medical condition Definition opens in new window

Note : We strongly recommend that you purchase trip cancellation and interruption insurance at the time you pay your initial travel deposit. Please see the certificate of insurance document for complete coverage details, including terms and conditions.

We strongly recommend you do. Your certificate of insurance is a valuable source of information and contains provisions that may limit or exclude coverage. Please read it before you go, keep it in a safe place and carry it with you when you travel.
