What do you need to know before you go?

Always plan your trip ahead of time! Especially on your first time out, you will want to know what direction you’re heading in, where you will park your rig each night, and which road is the best route to get there.

Beginner RVers should also take some time to get familiar with their rental rig.

As for campgrounds, review the rules and regulations for your campsite. While the rules are generally similar across the board, some campgrounds might have unique restrictions.

What should you pack?

The best way to pack: bring a bit more than the basics. You don’t want to overpack, but you also want to feel prepared for any adventure that might come your way.

When preparing for your trip, be sure to consider factors like the weather and outdoor elements at your destination. Will there be bugs? Rain or shine? Should you throw a few extra blankets into the vehicle for that extra bit of warmth at night? Does your campground have a washing machine, or should you bring extra clothing just in case?

Also, think of what activities your family has planned. What sporting gear or equipment will you need to bring along for each activity?
