Research campgrounds, festivals, activities and other sightseeing opportunities along your travel route. Plan plenty of options to keep all members of your travel party entertained will make the trip more pleasant for everyone.
Write a travel plan outlining your destinations, activities and length of stay. Determine approximate refueling stops, places to stop to eat and sightseeing opportunities between campgrounds.
Plan each meal, and list the cooking gear and food required. Pack only the items you need to leave space in the RV for storage.
Prep as many meals as you can ahead of time to reduce the time spent on this chore at camp. For example, if you are planning to make chili one evening, cook the meat at home to reduce prep time by 15 to 20 minutes.
Create a list of the supplies and gear you will require for the duration of the vacation. Knowing what adventures you have planned will help determine the gear you will need to pack. Utilize the list to keep your RV from becoming overcrowded.
Run down the checklist of food, gear and travel information the night before you leave. This will give you time for last-minute shopping or hunting for misplaced maps or missing flip flops.
