How to Make Sure This National Go RV'ing Day is the Coolest One Yet

In celebration of National Go RV'ing Day on June 10th, we want to share essential tips and tricks to help you plan an incredible vacation that genuinely embraces your "wildhood.!" 

An RV is more than just a place to lay your head; it's a way to explore the world. With the comfort of your own home with you, you can create your adventures and make memories that last a lifetime. 

So, you've decided to purchase or rent an RV and hit open the road to find your next adventure but are still trying to figure out how to plan a trip that will be one for the history books? View this excellent guide designed by Go RV'ing, and let us provide a few insights ourselves!

Learn From Experience

The key to embarking on your next incredible journey is finding the perfect destination for your group of travellers. With so many options across North America available, consider not only all the endpoint has to offer but also what sights and activities can be enjoyed while on your way! 

Allow online communities, blogs, reviews, and virtual maps to guide you as you plan each leg of your journey. By reading about someone else's experiences and joining in online conversations, you will soon be able to locate hidden gems, explore sights off the beaten path, and know which campsite offers the best amenities. 

Roadtrippers is an excellent source of information and can even help you plan your next trip. Enter your route, and it highlights potential stops along the way. Not just the most popular “where to go” destinations, but “off the beaten path” stops, too! Check out RV Road Trip Planner.

Understand and Plan

We've all seen those movies where one ecstatic family member plans what they believe to be a fantastic vacation but, through a comedy of errors, learns their family members are far from impressed. Don't let this happen to you! 

Ask the right questions to create a vacation that everyone will love:

• Where would you like to go?
• What activities are you most looking forward to?
• How can we outfit the RV to make you most comfortable?
• What would make this the perfect getaway? 

Once you understand what each family member needs, you can plan which route to take, where to stay, what to eat and the items you will need to outfit your RV to make it relaxing for everyone.

Vacationing in Comfort

An important question to ask, because “comfort” means different things to different people, is what does comfort mean to you? Is it sitting fireside with friends and family after reaching the next campsite? Or enjoying a delicious meal made with ingredients bought along the way? Or is it finding moments throughout your trip to rest and recharge on a hot day? Figuring out how much driving is too much, whether having “push” days, trying to make it to a farther destination or settling for something closer, are important details to sort out, and it may take days on the road to figure out what works best for you and your fellow travellers.

Keep Your Cool

Whatever RV living looks like for you, we promise you will never have to compromise on comfort! 

Years of ingenuity, design and craftsmanship have led us to create fans designed to take RV living to the next level. 

Sirocco II – the most popular fan in Australian Caravanning

The Sirocco II 12V/24V fan is designed to keep you cool during those hot summer days on the road while being compact, stylish, and easy to operate. Aussies know hot weather caravanning better than anyone on the planet, so when they make Sirocco II their go-to bit of kit (that's Aussie for "piece of equipment") for off-grid comfort, you know it's a product that can stand up to the test. With a long-life motor and low power draw, the Sirocco II fan will keep you cool and comfortable wherever you travel. The FingerSafe blades have a flexible edge, making an open-concept grill a viable solution for maximising airflow.

Ultimate 747/757 fans – the ultimate in versatility!

Ultimate fans come in 12V or 24V options. You can direct wire the fan or connect it with an auxiliary plug adapter and feel a cool breeze in moments. Whether you mount it where you know you will always need to circulate air or use the suction cup mount to move the fan throughout your RV, you can enjoy all the fan's power while it stays whisper quiet. Like the Sirocco II, FingerSafe blades on the Ultimate fans make a grill unnecessary, so this fan is easy to keep clean while providing unimpeded airflow.

This National Go RV'ing Day, take the time to celebrate the freedom and adventure that comes with RV living and ensure you have the essentials to make your journey more comfortable.
