How An RV Trip Can Become The Best Family Adventure

The Go RVing PR team works with media outlets across the country to tell the real-life stories of RVers and introduce even more consumers to the RVing lifestyle. Recently, they worked with The Good Men Project, who have compiled a list of practical ways to make RV trips fun-filled adventures for the entire family.

RV travel is a fun way to adventure and spend quality time with your family. RVs provide comfort as they have a mini-home configuration that gives you access to essential amenities such as kitchen, washrooms, etc. They offer convenience in that you can go where you want and stop when you want.

Though a trip with a family is always a great idea, traveling can be somewhat stressful, and it takes careful planning to have fun. Below are tips to ensure that your RV trip becomes the best family adventure.

1. Choose the Right RV for Your Trip

You can either buy or rent an RV for your family trip. Each option has its pros and cons, and you should weigh in on both to determine what is most suitable for you.

Buying may be a great option if you intend to be Rving frequently. You can buy a new or used RV. It is expensive upfront but a worthwhile investment in the long term.

On the other hand, if you travel with your family occasionally, it is more affordable to rent rather than buy an RV. Besides, renting allows you to choose from a variety of recreational vehicles depending on your travel need for a given trip.

RV types range from small camper vans to luxurious motorhomes. Choose the most suitable RV type depending on the size of your family, duration of the trip preferred style and budget.

Whichever option you choose, do your due diligence to identify a reliable RV dealer or renting company. The most popular RV companies and brands include Camping World, Thor Industries, Inc., and Forest River Inc., among others.

Check these companies’ online reviews on RV forums and websites such as Pissedconsumer.com. For instance, Camping World reviews indicate issues such as poor RVs and RV parts quality, and unclear warranty terms. So, you’d want to look into the customers’ feedback before choosing an RV.

2. Plan Out Your Route

Although spontaneity adds adventure to your trip, it is best to have a clear sense of your route. You can drive cross-country or choose a shorter route.

Ensure that the route has accessible and safe roads for your RV size and type, and designated RV camping areas. If you are traveling during the high season, pre-book your spot at RV camps and resorts.

3. Plan Your Itinerary

Having a schedule for each day of your trip will make things easy. Outline the activities you would like to engage in and ensure to incorporate some fun ones, e.g., hiking, climbing, hanging out, playing family games, sightseeing, etc. However, do not be overambitious with the itinerary.
