Top Tips For The Perfect RV Holiday

If you’re not the kind of person who wants to spend their vacations lounging by the pool, then planning an RV trip is a great alternative. After all, this allows you to spend every day somewhere new, and you can participate in a wide range of activities, including hiking.

With that in mind, here are some top tips for planning the perfect RV holiday!

Plan Your Route Carefully

Whether traveling through Europe or staying a little closer to home, planning out your route carefully ahead of time will ensure you’re in for an easy ride. After all, it means that you can book ahead to reserve your place at the best RV parks, while also allowing you to spend your time wisely as possible. For example, you can plan your route to avoid congested or overly crowded areas, in favor of hidden gems that are a little further off the beaten path, which is every RV owner's dream.

Give Yourself Some Days Off

While the idea of visiting a new destination every single day is exciting, you should avoid spending hours behind the wheel each day. You deserve to relax while on vacation, which can be achieved by staying put and giving yourself the chance to breathe and relax. You can always find something new and exciting to do nearby that does not require you to hop into your car. For example, you could explore a local nature trail or simply soak up the sunshine from your campground. Alternatively, you could stop by a local city, such as Copenhagen.

Be Prepare For Bad Weather And Good Weather

Unfortunately, the weather is not nearly as predictable as we would like it to be, especially if you’re visiting areas that are miles and miles apart from each other. This means that you need to be as savvy as possible when packing, ensuring that you’ve got everything you need, come rain or shine. For example, you will likely need to bring raincoats, sweaters and suncream!

Pack Plenty Of Snacks

If you’re going to be behind the wheel for hours on end, having easy access to snacks and drinks is essential. It's also a great way to keep your kids (or any grumpy grown-up passengers) quiet so you don’t have to field any complaints while navigating your way from A to B.

Know When To Refuel

You should also make sure that you know roughly when you’ll need to refuel, so that you’re able to plan for this pit stop ahead of time. After all, the last thing you want to deal with on vacation is a broken-down RV, especially if you are in an area you’re not all that familiar with. That being said, it is also worthwhile to note down emergency contact numbers in case you find yourself in such a scenario.

Final thoughts. In short, there are plenty of steps that you can take in order to ensure that you’re planning the perfect RV vacation, whether you’re hitting the open road solo or with a larger group.
