Approximately 40.5 million people go camping each year — and many do it by RV for extra comfort.
Consider Your Equipment
Make sure your tow vehicle (if needed) is properly sized and equipped. Bring essentials like a jack and leveling blocks so you can set up safely at your site.
Perform the Maintenance It Needs
Before you leave, handle routine maintenance: oil changes, lights, brakes, and tire checks. Preventing breakdowns keeps your trip on track.
Choose Your Destination
Pick a destination based on location, amenities, and recommendations. Decide how far you want to travel and whether you prefer modern hookups or a more primitive stay.
Book Your Site
Reserve online when possible, choose your dates, and expect to use a credit card to hold your spot.
Plan Your Activities
Look up local attractions and park amenities, then create a flexible itinerary so you can make the most of your time.
Pack for the Trip
- Clothing and toiletries (for the climate and trip length)
- Cooking equipment and food (for campfire meals)
- Water gear (life jackets, fishing poles, etc.)
Use a Checklist for Your RV Trip
