Using your RV as a Home Away from Home


Are you considering a trip with your family or friends? Traveling in an RV allows you to enjoy the open road at your own pace. Imagine stopping at different tourist destinations or journeying down backroads for scenic views. Enjoy each stop to the fullest, then return to the comfort of your RV - your home away from home.

What are Your Traveling Needs?
Finding the right RV to provide you home comforts requires you to ask yourself questions like:
  • What does your travel adventure mean to you?
  • What kind of comforts do you want on the road?
  • Do you want afull motorhome with every amenity imaginable or a simple popup camper to pull behind your vehicle?
  • How many people will be on the trip with you?
  • Do you plan to go on a weekend adventure or longer trip?
Every answer will help you make the right RV choice. Accommodating children, pets, or long-term adventures, every traveler has different needs. Finding the right fit for you may require a little research and touring various RVs at a reputable dealership. RVs have numerous amenities and come in a variety of sizes including:
  • Motorhomes: With three different classifications, motorhomes come equipped with showers, full bathrooms, washer/dryer options, microwave, complete kitchen, and multiple sleeping areas. Finding the right layout will depend on your need.
  • Travel Trailers: Great for pulling behind your existing vehicle, travel trailers come with various layout designs with bathrooms, kitchens, sleeping areas and other amenities for you to enjoy.
  • Fifth-Wheel Trailers: Requiring a special hitch for your truck, a fifth-wheel gives you the option of leaving the RV at a campground.
  • Popup Campers: The pull behind option allows you to enjoy camping to the fullest. Some come equipped with a small kitchen and toilet to meet your basic needs.
  • Toy Haulers: An added compartment allows you to store larger items including bicycles, dirt bikes, or other equipment to enjoy when you reach your destination.
  • Truck Campers: Fitting on the back of your truck, using this style allows you to travel with minimum restrictions.

Other RV Features to Provide Home Comforts
Depending on the style and size, some RVs come with multiple layout designs. Consider the different options to help make your RV more comfortable for you.
  • Solar Panels: Attaching solar panels to the top of your RV allows you to enjoy camping completely off grid. Purchasing a solar charger for your electrical devices is another way to stay connected.
  • RV GPS: While going off-grid may be your travel destination, a GPS can help you find the best routes, alert you to construction, and keep you safe.
  • Storage Space: Consider a place to store extra clothing, food, and other necessities.
  • Awnings: Sitting outdoors under an awning is the best way to enjoy a warm day.
  • Slide Outs: An outdoor kitchen or entertainment area provides you with added enjoyment.
