Have you ever just hopped into your recreational vehicle and hit the road? Planning and preparation is essential to any camping trip. Top 6 RV travel time and money-saving tips.
1. Where are you going?
Before you decide on a destination, find and research the destination details through the city or the city's chamber of commerce. Most city's have their own web-page. The city's web-site pages are typically very useful for researching events happening in the city, contact and directions to the nearest medical and veterinary services, museums, shopping and more.
2. What's the weather forecast going to be during your travels?
Check the weather forecast for your entire travels. Utilize weather internet links and tools for an extended weather forecast as well. The utilization of weather forecast tools prior to departure will save you time, money and frustration. By checking these resources often, you can easily change your travel destination.
3. What will be the best route to take?
My recommendation is to first, map out the trip. There are several tools on the internet to map out the shortest route. Second, purchase a GPS electronic device. (GPS is a portable electronic device that you mount in the motor home or car that tracks your travel, keeps you going in the right direction, alerts you to an upcoming road closure or construction). Third, as a backup, always have an ATLAS US Map Guide on hand. We use all three of these tools on all of our trips.
4. Where are you going to RV Camp everyday?
Don't go camping and hope you find a spot. You need to locate a campground and have a reservation in place before you go. My favorite campground resource guide on the road is the trailer life directory by Good Sam. The trailer life directory guide has all of the details of campsites by state and city, cost of the site, applied discounts, contact information and includes a list of all of the campground amenities such as internet service, laundry facilities, pool, playgrounds, pet restrictions and more. This guide is also especially useful on the road when you are running into time constraints and need to change your original plans.
5. What are you planning to do while you are there?
If your plans include going to a major sports event, play or concert, shop around before you go for deep discounts on major event tickets and entrance fees.
6. What will you need to pack in your RV?
Start with writing a list. We load our recreational vehicle from our list!
List of suggestions could include:
Food, food menu by day, recipes
Clothing
Personal Care essentials
Extra towels, wash clothes, linens
Paper and cleaning products
BBQ - Propane Tank
Medication
First Aid Kit
Pet essentials, pet food, pet shot records, pet meds
Computer, computer accessories
Cell Phone, cell phone accessories
Books, DVD movies, games, cards
Satellite box, remote
Whether your dream camping trip is boon-docking (also known as dry camping), bird-watching, going to a favorite sports game, amusement park, or concert, mapping out and preparing all of the details of your trip before you go will save you time, money and frustration.
