Tip 1: Choose a Terrific Vehicle
Don't drive a drab family car for your road trip. Instead, upgrade to a comfy campervan, designed for enjoyable long-distance journeys. Campervans are perfect for an active road trip since they provide the space and amenities you need on the road, such as a kitchen, fridge, and sleeping accommodations. If you prefer, opt for a rooftop sleeper for additional space.
Tip 2: Stay Flexible
Toss your overly-planned spreadsheet out the window and enjoy the thrill of exploration. Discovering intriguing attractions and detouring from your planned route will make your trip far more enjoyable. So, when something piques your interest, don't hesitate. Stop, explore, and make memories!
Tip 3: Create Your Own Playlist
You never know when you'll lose radio or internet reception on the open road. To keep the music going, load your phone with your favorite tunes and plug it in via AUX or Bluetooth. Before you hit the road, combine everyone's favorite artists and songs into one epic playlist. By planning your music right, you'll have the soundtrack to your dream vacation.
Tip 4: Sleep Under the Stars
There's something romantic about snuggling up under the stars after an evening spent roasting marshmallows near a crackling campfire. Whether you sleep in your comfy campervan bed or on a cozy bedroll beneath the night sky, spending a night under the stars is sure to refresh your spirit.
Tip 5: Snag Kitschy Souvenirs
Each stop on your road trip will probably have a local gift shop selling unique, memorable trinkets. Grab an interesting T-shirt, postcard, or other keepsake to commemorate your trip and add some personality to your belongings back home.
Tip 6: Cook On the Go
Preparing meals on your van's stove offers memorable cooking experiences and saves money compared to dining out every meal. If you've rented a campervan, you'll have a kitchen at your disposal complete with a sink, stove, and refrigerator. If not, roast up some hot dogs or s'mores over an open fire for a tasty roadside meal.
Tip 7: Ask Locals for Recommendations
When it's time to eat out, avoid chain restaurants and immerse yourself in the local culture. Instead of relying on reviews or GPS, ask friendly townspeople for their favorite places to dine. You'll appreciate the unique ambiance and delicious food found at hidden, off-the-beaten-path restaurants.
Tip 8: Prepare for Inclement Weather
Bad weather doesn't have to ruin your road trip. If you've rented a campervan, pass the time playing games or reading while the rain, snow, or wind passes. Keep about an hour's worth of indoor activities on hand for when Mother Nature doesn't cooperate.
