At Nohr’s RV Center, RV travel is more than a weekend getaway - it is a way of life. When the holidays approach, bring your RV in for a full-service inspection, and then set out to enjoy a holiday adventure of a lifetime. To give you an idea of what is possible, we put together some popular tips and suggestions for happy holiday celebrations in your RV.
Easing Holiday Travel
An RV will greatly
simplify your holiday travel plans. In addition to providing you room for all
the gifts, your RV also gives you the freedom of making multiple stops along
the way. And why not pick up some seasonal favorites from their sources?
Cranberries from Washington or Maine, potatoes from Idaho, a turkey from
Minnesota, and cheeses from Wisconsin not only lend special meaning to the
feast, they are the perfect excuse to visit some obscure places.
“Fixing” the Feast
The hardest part of a
large holiday celebration in an RV is preparing the main meal. But even a Thanksgiving feast is possible with a little planning and creative cooking.
Some helpful ideas include:
·
Purchase
your turkey based on the size of your oven. Smaller groups or couples can
eliminate the big bird in favor of something like Cornish hens, or go with a
differently shaped entree such as lamb.
·
Pick
up disposable aluminum pans for the baking. The softer aluminum will bend
easily to conform to smaller ovens, and they reduce your clean-up time
substantially.
·
Cook
desserts and side dishes ahead of time.
·
Use
one or more slow cookers to reduce the stove-top usage.
Making Memories on the Road
Couples or families
who are traveling for the holidays may discover that the RV park they have
chosen is planning a holiday function, or you can initiate your own. Invite other campers to
attend, and ask the guests to bring a side dish. To really draw in the crowds,
use an outdoor smoker so the aroma has the whole RV park watering at the mouth and
visitors have a centralized outdoor space for mingling.
Holiday Getaways
Take a tour. See the
lights. Break from the same old routine and treat your family to a special
holiday season. Corn
mazes
and autumn festivals spring up all over the nation for Thanksgiving, and there
will be stellar light displays around Christmas. Any tour of Christmas displays
should include places like DeFuniak Springs, FL, and Lake Lanier’s Magical Nights of Lights in northern GA. Lake
Lanier has RV camping available, and the 7-mile display is designed for
vehicles to travel through while enjoying Christmas music piped over the radio.Whatever your holiday plans may be, an RV is a great way to put them into practice, and we can help.
