RV TRAVEL, THE SHORT TRIP
|
You don't have to travel cross country or spend several weeks in your RV to enjoy its benefits. A short RV trip can be just as enjoyable and much less expensive.

The short RV trip to a nearby campground or rv park can be a
rewarding and enjoyable experience. Whether you are on a limited
budget and the fuel costs have put a damper on the distances you would
like to travel or you are short on time and are only able to travel for a few
days, the short trip is just the ticket.
Chances are that there is a park campground or rv park close to where
you live. Though you are but a few miles away, you will have the feeling
of being far from home. A near by camping location gives you the
opportunity to visit it by car to see if it will meet your needs before
packing up for the stay. If you are new to rv camping, a close location
for your first time out is a good idea since you will more than likely forget
items you need, and if for some reason you don't like the camping
experience it will be easier to pack up and go back home.
A bad first experience can turn a first timer away from camping for good.
Make sure the weather will be nice when you go Campgrounds range
from the privately owned, to county, state, or national parks. State and
National parks are beautiful, and while they don't offer all the amenities
of a private park they do give you a feeling of being far from home and
usually have some very pretty sites. Photo opportunities abound at these
parks as well. Many of these parks do not offer full hook-ups for RVs
and may have length restrictions. Be sure to look into that before
driving there.
The most important thing is to have fun! Take the kids, the dogs, plenty
of food, and don't forget the pillows! For the veteran camper close to
home, short RV trips offer a relaxing getaway while saving you the time
and gas to drive a distance for camping. When time is an issue, you can
still get away for a relaxing weekend.
Tailgating at local and major sporting events can be fun also. Your motor
home can accommodate you and your friends in the RV parking lot of
any sporting event. You can enjoy your tailgate party with the family in
the parking lot as well as watch the event on tv using the generator in
your motor home.
IMPORTANT NOTICE Before you leave on your camping trip, we strongly suggest that you have a RV camping checklist.
