8 Signs you are totally ready to try an RV Adventure

The best RVers are usually a bit of a contradiction. They’re as well the most wonderful, kind-hearted — and without doubt, slightly whacky people you’ll ever meet. But have you ever wondered if you have the qualities for an RV road trip? Most likely, if you’re this interested in the RV lifestyle, you’re well on the road to taking the plunge.

Here are eight signs you’re really ready to take on those RV trips you’re musing about.

You like meeting new people.

Getting new connections is one of the finest parts of rving — RVers are an amazing group of people. And when you start your journey in your rig, you’re inevitably part of the club; you’ll always get the opportunity to meet new friendly faces, just by virtue of exploring a new destination.

You’re fascinated by cultures that are unlike yours.

Even if you stay right in America, you’re guaranteed to come across some new ways of thinking, including some that might challenge your own. That’s an integral part living in such a big and diverse nation.

So when you stop in Austin, ensure you try the barbecue. And if you’re up in Vancouver, don’t forget the salmon, even if it’s not your best fish. Try talking to someone whose outfits is different from yours or someone who speaks in a different way than you do? You would possibly learn a lot of new things — not just about the other person, but about yourself.

You’re great at organizing and planning…

The most successful travelers have at least a touch of natural planner in them, from routing unique itineraries to working out the number of nights to stay in each destination.

 You don’t freak out when things don’t go just as you’d planned.

It’s essentially the first rule of traveling: Not everything will go as planned. The happiest campers anticipate that and have no problem rolling with the punches — after all, if you needed predictability, you could have just stayed home.

You want to travel at your own pace.

Even though it’s indisputable that a plane can get you to your destination quickly but whenever you travel in an RV, you set the schedule —  you  are not subjected to some airline’s delay or undependable bus schedule. You choose whether you want to stop early for the day. Your bed’s already made up and set! All you need to do is locate a good place to pull off and set up camp.

There are some stuff you just don’t want to part with.

Traveling always suggests surrendering a bit in the way of possessions and creature comforts, and RVing is definitely not an exception. Even a 40 foot diesel pusher has very limited room!

However if you wish to hang onto your books, clothes, or special kitchen equipment while you’re out travelling the world, it’s quite easier to tote along your must-haves in a motorhome than on an airplane.

You’re not scared of getting a bit dirty.

While most people worry about possibly-nasty RVing must-dos like draining the wastewater tanks, it’s actually not that bad. Camping is really about getting closer to nature, and yes, at times you might find yourself with some dirt underneath your nails. So as long as you’re an intrepid enough traveler to deal with that — or bring along a scrub brush — you’re golden.
