Recreational vehicles allow you to enjoy a trip and take your modern conveniences with you. Many US Public parks have campground locations available for setting up your RV in gorgeous locations. You may think that an RV vacation is an expensive way to go, but you should read this article: http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/rv-vacations-expensive-study-shows/. The authors point out that even with fuel and ownership costs, staying in an RV and cooking your own food is in most cases less expensive than taking a 10 to 14 day vacation staying in hotels and eating in restaurants. These RV ready campgrounds at US Parks provide pump stations, electrical and water hookups and often they have convenience stores near by. Availability, seasonal restrictions and other policies vary from park to park so check ahead. RV Tips and Ideas: - Make a schedule and determine your driving distances and times before the trip. Try not to rush too much and think about the spots you would like to spend more time at.
- Map out potential restaurants, fuel stations, pump stations and restroom locations.
- Make sure trailers have the correct signaling devices and light systems.
- Make sure you have a fully charged fire extinquisher
- Check the vehicle or trailer for leaks prior to your trip.
- Carry tools for making basic repairs and for emergency roadside repairs.
- Follow other vehicles from a safe distance and make sure your breaks are in good shape.
- Research the drive and know the climate, the climbs and the road conditions of where you will be travelling.
