RV Travel with Kids



 
Anytime you travel with children it requires careful preparation and planning and a RV trip is no different.  A RV is a great way to bring your family together for a fun-filled vacation and is certainly more comfortable than sleeping in tents, and over-all may be less expensive than staying in hotels.


Tips from seasoned RV families include taking your time and don’t expect to put on as many miles per day as you did without the children along.  Stop frequently, and when you do, allow the kids to get out and run around.  Have toys on hand to use outside or find a playground where they can burn off some energy.  Do be sure to do a head count before you get back on the road. 


Inside the RV, have plenty to do to keep the kids occupied.  Purchase special toys and activities books to surprise them with when they are getting restless.  Tablets and DVD players are entertaining but be sure to bring headphones so not everyone has to listen.   Additionally don’t forget to engage in traditional road games as they are a great way to share time together and help to create memories for years to come.  


One big advantage to having your home on wheels is you do not have pack and repack over and over again as you would moving around from hotel room to hotel room or tent camping.  Try and stay organized inside the RV by having bins or baskets for each child to store their toys, books and clothes, and make sure they use them.

If you can, bring bikes for everyone.   They are a fun activity and can be used to get around the campground.  Do remind the children if they are old enough to ride around on their own, to watch out for traffic and wear a helmet.
