Motorhome camping is much different from tent camping, which means there are different ways to prepare and pack. And if you don’t follow some of the basic principles and best practices, you might find yourself underprepared and stressed out in unfamiliar situations. To avoid this, we’d like to share a few tips and tricks for stress-free motorhome camping, so read on to learn more!
Booking a Spot
Before beginning your journey, you need to figure out where you want to go. There are probably a few different places you want to visit, so try figuring one out a few months beforehand. But if there isn’t a specific place you have in mind, think of the activities that you would enjoy doing. Then, of course, book a campground in the general area, as motorhome campsites fill up fast during summer.
Planning Routes and Alternates
After you’ve got a campground reserved, you can start figuring out the route. There are many ways to do this, and it all depends on your personality type. If you like to rush through and spend as little time on the road as possible, direct highways are the obvious choice. But maybe you cherish the journey as much as the destination. In this case, get a map or look up alternate routes online that take you through some backroads.
Make Your Schedule
You don’t need to plan for every aspect of your vacation, but it’s still useful to get a general idea. Do you want to stop somewhere along the way? Are there any specific activities that need to be done on a certain day? Thinking about these beforehand will save you some frustration at the campsite, so try planning the most important parts beforehand.
Figure Out What to Pack
Finally, the last vital step in preparing for a vacation is packing. We recommend making a checklist for each, and once you’ve marked off every necessity, fit as much of the extra stuff as you can. This will save you from leaving behind something important, which will surely prevent a lot of stress while camping.
