RV Camping: Planning your trip
April 12, 2023 at 5:32 p.m.
When planning to travel with an RV, there are several factors that should be considered to ensure the best experiences. These include choosing the right destinations, mapping out unique routes, the costs for the trip, and the various places to stop overnight.
All of these are incredibly easy to work with.
Beginning with choosing a destination, this one is the easiest if you are planning on taking a short trip across the state, to a park, or even to another city entirely. With RV's, shorter trips do not require much other than a good GPS, the planned stopping and rest points, and a well-stocked camper. Afterall, it’s as simple as driving or flying to another destination for a small vacation.
If you are looking for a more adventurous, elongated traveling plan full of stops at various high-points, tourist spots, and several weeks’ worth of exploring, then mapping out a route is a fantastic option.
When mapping out a route, you have the freedom to plan your entire trip. This means you can continue your travels all over the country if you have the designated rest stops and RV campgrounds labeled on your route. So, if you want to spend a summer traveling across the US, then the RV provides the comfort and lenience to do so. The campgrounds are spacious and you're able to camp for several nights if it's near any tourist destinations. Or you can hang out and talk with fellow travelers and make some new friends.
When choosing the campgrounds, you want to ensure that you have flexibility. If you are traveling with kids, it's great to locate campgrounds or rest stops that have playgrounds, a pool, or designated children's areas. These allow the kids to run around after a long day in the RV, and the adults to wind down and rest. Some even provide a movie night in the center of the campgrounds for an enhanced camping experience. All campgrounds have pumps, public bathrooms, and grilling spaces for dinner. The rest you can get from your current home on wheels.
RV traveling is gaining so much popularity so when choosing these campgrounds along your route, be sure to read reviews. These can be beneficial to know if your traveling needs are being met and if they list availability.
Once you have decided how you plan on traveling, you next want to figure out the fuel costs for the trips and handle any maintenance that may need to be done before heading out. The best way to accomplish this is by researching fuel prices along your route and compare them. You should also make a note of any auto shops along the route for any potential issues you have. Both are important to ensure you have the best travel possible.
So, choose your destination and plan it down to the very detail. Map out a route with designated stops and wing the whole trip. RV traveling offers plenty of variety for vacationing, traveling, camping, and much more. The planning stage can be a fun part as it also allows you to get some insight on great sites and places along your route to check out.
