Being a solo RVer has its advantages. I am an early riser and like to get on the road early. But on occasion, I've had someone with me who either likes to sleep late or is inexperienced for "RV moving day" (getting out of the campground and getting on the road).
Fortunately, Do It Yourself RV has some good tips on getting back on the road easier and stress-free. I usually pack many items the night before. (This is also one of their tips.)
They begin with:
There was a time when moving day for our family meant a frantic morning rush to get out of the campground in time. We are not morning people, and the fact that we had to be unhooked, hitched up, and out the gate by 10am or 11am was difficult to handle at first.
On top of that morning rush, we also found that the travel itself was often stressful. More than once we found ourselves on the side of the road with a tire blowout, and I can’t even begin to count the number of times we had to make bathroom stops only minutes after pulling out of the campground. All of this meant longer days and grumpy moods all around.
Fortunately with practice comes improvement, and we have gotten smarter (though certainly not perfect) about the whole ordeal. Below are our top tips for ensuring your RV travel days go smoothly.
