"The 2012 Winnebago Sightseer 30A is simply an amazing floorplan," said Winnebago Industries' Vice President of Sales and Marketing Roger Martin. "Amazing in that you won't believe the amount of space and features found in it. The 30A certainly lives much larger than its 31-foot length - seeing is believing in this case."

But travelers are also discovering that some campgrounds and RV parks have on-site restaurants where the food is so good it's worth the drive just to eat there.

"The campground industry is clearly evolving when it comes to food service," said Linda Profaizer, president and CEO of the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (www.gocampingamerica.com). "Some parks offer coffee and donuts or pancakes in the morning, while others offer basic food service items in the afternoons and evenings, such as hamburgers and hot dogs.
