Your Next RV Trip: Making Plans Or Making No Plans

Convenience is almost synonymous for RV. Owning a recreational vehicle is one of the most convenient things possible when it comes to travel and vacationing. It’s what people love most about RVs. It’s particularly advantageous for people who like to travel on the spur of the moment. With an RV you can indulge these whims frequently without paying extra for last minute accommodations or flights.

Spur of the moment travelers AND those who plan their RV trips meticulously often take advantage of national parks and recreational areas. (Top hotspots of California and Arizona were both discussed in a recent article). These areas are dispersed throughout the US. They offer a wide variety of beautiful scenery, fantastic peeks into the natural habitat of the area’s wildlife, and access to plenty of space and opportunity for outdoor recreation. Many are home to amazing natural wonders. Other RV travelers arrange their trips around group events like weddings or reunions. others arrange their trips around visiting family. They might start off with their Aunt Marge in Bethesda, MD and then hit their cousin Bernice’s, their Nephew George’s, their brother John’s and finish off the trip at their sister’s house.

But there’s one other option that is just perfect for RV travel. It’s fun and it’s zany. RV owners enjoy planning trips that are going to hit the not so exotic, unique destinations that make us smile, but are often overlooked when it comes to the official “vacation” like the world’s largest ball of twine or the factory that made the biggest sugar cookie ever created. Or another take on the zany trip is to create a trip based around the teeny holidays that you might not even know about until you take the time to look it up.

For instance in July there are tons of holidays. July 2nd is the halfway point of the year. That’s something to celebrate. July 4th is obviously Independence Day. And July 5th is Apple Turnover Day. (We suggest making sure there’s a nearby mom and pop diner that specializes in Apple Turnovers when you camp on July 5th).

July 18th is National Ice Cream Day. July 25th is National Lasagna Day.

And we can’t forget to point out that July is also both Family Golf Month and National Hot Dog Month so those two activities just have to be incorporated into the trip as well. So many things to celebrate! If you’re skeptical…try not to be until you’ve given this form of vacationing a try. It’s actually quite fun and relaxing. And you’ll find that after you build the “bones” of your trip around the little holidays that most people overlook you can fit in a surprising number of “normal” sites on the off days. It will probably introduce you to a few new areas and sites, too, since you’ll be doing things you wouldn’t have if you weren’t “celebrating.”

You’ll find you have an interesting trip after all is said and done. You definitely won’t be just repeating the same old trip that you do every year or the same old trip that your brother took last fall. You’ll have your own agenda with your own time line. You can zip here and there and everywhere of your own accord. There’s no tour guide. You’re the tour guide. If you want to be efficient you can be; if you don’t want to be…you don’t have to be!

RVs offer so many amazing opportunities! You get to enjoy the open road. You get to change your plans on the spur of the moment if you feel like it. You get to cater to your own tastes and preferences and your own schedule. But probably most important of all is that RVers can personally create a trip that caters to their own family group.
