Methods and apparatus for improved securing of recreational vehicle travel accomodations

Abstract

Automated reservation system for RV travelers that may act as a proxy for the RV traveler and make reservations for the RV traveler. RV accommodations are searched via a distributed network and identified as meeting traveler preference information. A traveler may leave standing instructions or communicate step by step instruction to reserve accommodations. Hosts proximate to the route may “bid” to host the traveler by making offers and highlighting relevant features of the accommodation. For example, if the traveler is driving an RV and needs water hookups, accommodations having space for an RV and having a water hookup may bid against each other to route the traveler to the winning accommodation. Additionally, a Sold-Out Search may be executed to allow a traveler to reserve a sold-out campground location upon a cancellation at that campground.
