Living the Life in an RV

Do you ever see those big, long, box-shaped, house-on-wheels type of things driving on the road passing you by without a care in the world? Kids waving at the windows with big smiles, the parents upfront in matching jumpers singing along to what can only be the jolliest of songs.

Where are they going you think to yourself? Or if you are like me, why are they wearing the same clothes but in different sizes? And if we’re twins, then you are pondering as to where can we get that soundtrack that is making them the happiest people on the road.

We won’t judge. What we do want to know is why you have chosen to take on the task of travelling around the globe in a large metal box? Have you become a member of a not so secret society and are now spreading the news of you becoming a travel nomad?

Travelling in RV’s are great. You have everything you need all in one place all the time. The family, never-ending beautiful scenery and a roof over your head, what more could you want? To make sure that everything goes smoothly, being prepared is key. To know more about this, you can visit sites like The RV Nomad or follow the tips below.

Five Tips for Travelling in an RV

• Full tank. Make sure you fill up for petrol often. The last thing you need or want is to be stuck on the side of a highway hoping someone will come past to rescue you and the family.
• Entertainment. Even that amazing road trip playlist is going to get tiresome at some point. Have a go-to list ready for those moments that everyone has had enough, and you need to change things up. From games to quizzes, a different focus for everyone will ease the tension of waiting to get to the next destination.

• Take a break and stretch those legs. Sitting in one position for hours on end cannot only encourage ugly veins to introduce themselves but soon you won’t be able to feel your gluteus maximus as well. Stopping and getting out will get the blood flowing freely again, and fresh air does everyone the world of good. Check here for some ideas you can do.
• Day time driving. I don’t enjoy driving at night, I think just because I don’t feel at my safest. Too many shadows. And if you’re in a new place, it is best to leave the traveling during the daytime when everyone can see everything. Besides, darkness brings on fatigue too as your mind prepares itself for relaxing and not concentrating.
• Food and water. Kids will soon make you aware that they are hungry or thirsty, and if either of these essentials has run out or on its last legs you can be sure you’re going to hear about it. And probably for the whole time it takes to get to the next pit stop. Stock up.

Speaking of kids, to make their experience even better, having unusual recipes at hand can be a real treat.

You can even get them involved in the preparations or cooking, make an event out of it.

Anything that allows the trip to be fun, stress-free and no-one is complaining is my kind of journey.

RV Apps to Help the Drive

Technology is certainly a massive priority in our lives at the moment, so of course, it makes sense to use it to our advantage. There are applications (apps) for anything you can think of and travelling in an RV is no different.

The two I’ve heard of most spoken about are Roadtrippers and Google Trips. Do some research and see what’s best for you. Or a good old paper map never hurt anyone, do they even still make those?

Camping Stayover

So, the app has worked, and you’ve arrived at a campsite, how does it all work? There are rules and courtesies, an unspoken understanding by fellow RVers.

You may choose to park and hook up in the main communal area and let the kids run wild with other kids that parents have let loose in need of a quick time out from the madness. Or you could decide on a more secluded, out the way spot where you can sit out at night in peace with a large wine.

Either way, everyone is there, for the most part, to relax and unwind.

Nomads have this as their daily lives, I bet they have some stories. Who am I talking about? Probably the only people to tick off most of their bucket list that’s who. Perhaps not for the exact reasons as in the past, but certainly for the memories.
