If you’re new to the RV lifestyle, planning your first trip can be a bit overwhelming. Use the below tips to make the planning process easier.
Determine Your Preferences
As you start traveling with your RV, you will notice that there are different types of campgrounds available, such as public and private campsites. Federal, state, or local governments usually own public campgrounds. These places are large and have a limited amount of hookups and amenities.
Conversely, private campgrounds are usually owned by families or business enterprises. Mostly, these sites have full hookups and plenty of amenities.
Make a Reservation for a Pull-Thru Site
Learning to back up your RV quickly is a necessary skill that is not that difficult to master. However, reserving a pull-thru site for your first trip may be more convenient. With a pull-thru site, you can pull in with one road and pull out with another one. Although they may not be as attractive as back-in sites, you can navigate them easier.
Avoid Traveling at Night
If you are unfamiliar with driving or hauling an RV, give yourself time to feel comfortable. We often recommend our customers avoid night driving, especially beginners until they are more comfortable navigating in low light conditions. Daytime driving is easier, especially when pulling into a campground, so prioritize safety over everything else.
