Wheels rolling, the open road, and the world as your oyster – yes, we’re talking about a road trip. In fact, a full-on RV road adventure. A trip like this can be an experience of a lifetime, but also requires preparation. Here are some tips to help you get started.  

Planning is Key

Choosing a destination is your first step. National parks or up and down the coast are all good options. Once you have a route, it’s important to think about booking your accommodations. RV parks in popular areas can get filled up a few months in advance. Also make sure the RV park has all the amenities you’ll need – water, electricity, dump stations, etc. 

RV Preparation

Make sure to do a thorough checkup on your RV, engine, brakes, tires, and all essential systems, before you hit the road. Top off fluids (engine oil, transmission, coolant) and stock up on essential supplies like spare parts, tools, and first aid kits.

Packing Essentials

The next step is thinking about packing. You’ll want kitchen supplies, Comfortable bedding, towels, and extra blankets for chilly nights. And don’t forget outdoor gear like chairs, tables, grills, and any sports or outdoor equipment.

Enjoy your next adventure!
