Tackle RV life like a pro!

RVs are a really awesome way to see the country! You can bring your amenities with you as you hit the road, without worrying about things such as booking a hotel. They are great for vacationing and full-time living. Today, we will look at full-time RV life and some important tips and tricks to help you RV like a pro. Let's get into it!

Bring Cash

These days we mostly pay with plastic, but cash still serves a purpose! This is especially true when it comes to RV living. For example, you may need to access toll roads or laundry mats that only take cash payments. You never know when you may need cash, so it's a good idea to have some on you in case something comes up.

Download Road Trip Apps

Modern technology has made it so that we can access a plethora of information right from our smartphones. There are apps out there for everything, including road trips. Roadtrippers, for example, offers tools such as trip guides, RV routing, and even fuel cost. There are even apps where you can rent an RV if you don't currently own one, which are great to try out before diving into full-time RV life.

Buy RV Antifreeze

If you're traveling year-round, you'll likely encounter some pretty cold weather. The antifreeze will help prevent your pipes from freezing. Be sure to buy RV-specific antifreeze, as it differs from automotive antifreeze.

Use Public Transportation

This tip is particularly relevant to bigger cities. Some areas may be more difficult to park an RV in, which makes public transit an incredibly useful tool. You can park your RV in an RV park, and then use a bus, train, or Uber to get into the city, saving you the stress.

Join RV Clubs

These clubs can help foster a community and get you discounts on campgrounds! Other members who have been living the RV life for longer will also have plenty of their own advice to share. Escapees RV Club and Passport America are two great options. Join your club before you start your journey, as you'll probably find a lot of useful information you can use pre-trip.

Document Your New Home

RV life can be very carefree, but that doesn't mean you can neglect responsibilities. Because you will be living in your RV full-time, you will want to have an insurance policy that covers it as both a home and a vehicle.

There are so many things to consider when making any sort of life change. Deciding to live in an RV full-time comes with many considerations, and it is always best to be as prepared as possible. These are just a few things to keep in mind before diving into the nomadic lifestyle.
