RV season is just around the corner and while it is exciting to plan the beautiful destinations, must-see stops, and everything in between, proper preparation is essential to ensuring a successful journey. We’ve compiled a checklist that any RVer, seasoned and new, can use to make the most out of every adventure.

1. Inspect your RV

Before hitting the road, it’s important to get a sense of the current condition of your RV. Go through the ins and outs of your home on wheels and compile a list of things that need attention. The last thing you want is finding yourself on the side of the road due to a malfunction.

TIP: Some things you find may require immediate attention and some may not. When compiling your maintenance list, group your items into sections for monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually.

2. Pack for All Situations

Packing efficiently not only means traveling light, it also means traveling with clothes and gear that can be useful in any event on your adventure. Weather conditions can be unpredictable, especially when going long-distance, so ensure you’re prepared for anything. Also, think about the things that could be useful in a pinch when your RV encounters anything unexpected.

TIP: Think about each item you’re considering packing and assess whether it would be better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it.

3. Know Your Route

Whether your trip is within state lines or across the country, it’s always a good idea to have a well-planned route. Take some time to look at all your stops and points of interest to create a course that can allow for the best use of your time. Make sure you have a GPS navigation system that can help you reach your next destination without any second thought.

4. Think About Upgrades

As you go through your checkup, also note what can be upgraded. Could you use better tires? Did you wish you had more efficient LED lights last time? Did your internet connection frequently fail? There’s almost always an upgrade you can make that will make all the difference when living life on the road.

TIP: To avoid spotty internet on the road, the Flat High-Performance Starlink can keep users connected with powerful and seamless signals in remote locations and extreme weather conditions.

With the great adventures ahead at the top of mind, it’s easy to overlook preparation. With any journey, it’s expected to run into some complications. However, by following our checklist, you can mitigate your time on the side of the curb and maximize your adventure potential.
