- Know your RV travel routes
- Having an idea of where you want to go before you set sail could save you a lot of travel time. Plan out all the stops you need to make and places you want to see ahead of time to find the best RV routes for your trip. And in this modern age, you no longer need to tote around maps or printed out directions – your smartphone will lead the way! Try using navigation apps likeGoogle Maps, Waze, Apple Maps or Sygic GPS Navigation. Bonus: these apps also have features that allow you to search for nearby restaurants, gas stations, stores and rest stops.
- Schedule your trip
- There are two types of vacationers – the planners and the free spirits. No matter which kind you are, it’s always good to frame out a basic game plan for your trip. Deciding which RV campsites you want to stay at and the main activities you want to experience will ensure you won’t miss out on anything. Places can fill up quickly, so try to reserve your spot in advance.
- Research your RV sites
- If you’re traveling a long way, you don’t want to stay at sites with nothing to offer! Before you go, research all of the amenities the RV parks have to offer and take a look at the excursion opportunities and nearby cities.
