Hundreds of RVs are on display at the Austin Convention Center this weekend. They can range from 30 feet long and to 130 feet. The bigger RVs with all the bells and whistles can cost you up to $150,000.

Enthusiasts say it's worth the investment.

"A lot of short trips, that's what a lot of people are doing. They just go every weekend go to a state park, take their kids and have a lot of fun. Two-hundred a month compared to $200-a-night hotel. People can get out and see the world." RV Outlet Mall Amy Pennington said.

The expo runs through Sunday. Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for children and seniors.
