The RV vacation experience

You can go on vacation on a motorhome at a convenient time. He won’t go without you and will wait as long as it takes. Perhaps the only thing that can rush you is the start and end dates of your vacation. Everything else inside these numbers will be at your mercy. You don’t have to worry about missing your flight, checking in, or checking out of the hotel. You can change your route, replay, flip, change your mind, or reschedule your schedule according to new circumstances. You can stay longer where you like, or vice versa, go somewhere, for example, where the weather will be better and the neighbors will be quieter and more pleasant. Remember how many people have had their holidays ruined by inadequate neighbors.

You don’t have to drive with a motorhome, struggling with sleep with the last of your strength to make it to the hotel. Any large gas station parking lot is your overnight parking lot to sleep, gain strength and drive on.

Special parking lots for motorhomes

Usually the campgrounds are free, but there is such a time as high season. During this period, even travelers with motorhomes are forced to book parking in advance in order to stand comfortably. There are still few campsites in Russia, so they can be packed to capacity, especially in good places by the sea. But you don’t have to stand in a special parking lot.

Travelers with motorhomes actively share points where you can get up with a motorhome for free and even have nearby amenities in the form of a water source, etc. A list of popular applications with parking for car travelers awaits you at the end of the article.

Luggage

You can’t take a lot of things on a plane or a passenger car, and you can’t even carry a heavy suitcase. There are a lot of things in the motorhome, necessary and unnecessary. You can and should take your favorite pillows and blankets from home. And do not worry about the volume of purchases on vacation, that they will have to be squeezed into a suitcase, and then pay for the excess at the airport. If you rent a motorhome in your city, then you won’t need any suitcases at all. You just move things from home to a motorhome and continue to live with your comfort, but already on a journey.

Comfort and maintenance of a motorhome

While relaxing in a hotel, you don’t think about where to fill the water and where the contents of the toilet bowl go. And with a motorhome, you’ll have to set aside 15−20 minutes a day to refuel the water, drain the sewer system, and dry the toilet. It’s good if all this can be done nearby, but it happens that you have to roll the motorhome to the service area for all these manipulations. You can find out more about the maintenance of a motorhome on a trip in our next articles. The main thing is not to be afraid of these moments. Everything in motorhomes is thought out in this regard so that you can handle it as simply as possible.

After restoring the resources, you can make a move from one place to another, but this will not work with the hotel. We’ll have to check out of the room, carry our suitcases to the car, then to the airport, and so on…

Traveling with family and children

Children love motorhomes and you should be prepared that after traveling, they will not want to rest otherwise. Adults are also getting used to how easy it is to solve many family travel issues. Movement, food, rest, hygiene… all this is easy when traveling with a motorhome. You will not be tied to the hotel in order to eat on time and properly, the refrigerator and kitchen with everything you need are always with you, the main thing is to sometimes stop by the supermarket and replenish supplies. Children can take the road better in a motorhome. Even when strapped in, they can sit at a table, play games, and watch TV. Well, it is also important that motorhomes always have their own toilet, which you do not have to urgently look for on the way.

Finance

There are different calculations. If you rent a motorhome for two, then it is not very profitable, but if you take a model for 5−6 people, then you can be in a big plus for money. Train/plane tickets, hotel accommodations, taxis, cafes and restaurants, all this is difficult to plan and you can easily fly out of the budget. By renting a motorhome for a vacation, you provide yourself with housing, transfers, and living facilities for the entire term. All that remains is to buy food, refuel and maintain the motorhome. All of this is amenable to planning and will help you avoid spending too much on unforeseen expenses.

Conclusions

Relaxing is always better than working, and how to relax is a matter of taste. Someone prefers maximum comfort, service, service, and someone is ready to sacrifice all this for the sake of adventure. Traveling with a motorhome is always about adventures, unusual parking lots, views, and meeting fellow travelers on motorhomes. You won’t feel like you’re in an aquarium, where the same excursions, entertainment, and routes are designed for tourists. Relaxing with a motorhome is completely in your hands.
