Taking Your Advice: How DO I Like to RV?

SEATTLE, WA – I am still in the process of figuring out what my next rv will be and one of the pieces of advice I got from you all was, “think about how I like to RV.”

So, i’m going to take you through my RVlife, when I had one and how I did it. Essentially, taking a deep dive into how i like to travel in my RV.

So for me i really enjoyed two types of rving:

“Quick Trips”… Heading out after work on a Thursday or Friday night and then coming back home on a Sunday morning. Most of those trips were really just, short quick getaways nearby.
“Long Trips”… The second type of getaways i like are what I call, “long trips.” Usually a week long and like the “Quick Trips,” I’d leave after work on a Thursday or Friday and go to one location, usually a state park and stay through Monday. Then on Monday I’d pack up ad ravel to another location and stay until Wednesday. Then load up again and head to a third park, through Friday or Saturday morning and then come home. What I really love about a “Long Trip,” is that it really allowed me to see multiple parts of an area and enjoy three separate stops.

Whether it’s a “Quick Trip” or “Long Trip” I do these next steps, pretty much the same. The next thing for me to consider, is what I like to do when i get to a park?

When I arrive, I like to set up my rig. Make sure everything is all good and then do a quick little mini-hike if you will seeing what the campgrounds are like, cook dinner, watch some TV then hit the bed. nothing too fancy on the first night.

I don’t set any alarms o the road, so the next day, whenever my body tells me to get up, I usually start with a nice breakfast. I like to cook something fun and of course enjoy my French Press coffee… love my French Press in the morning.

The morning’s on the road a special, During breakfast i usually listen to NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” and ease into my day.

With breakfast over, it’s now time to get my hike on and this is really one of the best parts of my day. I love loading up my backpack and exploring a great park. I usually go on hike for about an 1 1/2 or 2 hours and really work up a sweat. This is where I do a lot of exploring and enjoying everything a park has to offer.

After the hike, it’s back home, where I’ll down some water and chill outside of the RV for a bit before, I hit my shower, which is one of the things I really love. I’ll also make sure to clean up the kitchen and then it’s on with the rest of the day.

After my shower, it’s usually time for me to do some work at my kitchen table. I love editing or working on the channel on the road. When the weather is warm, I have the windows wide open, enjoying the breeze and I can edit and do work for hours. Oh and occasionally… I’ll even take a nap!

Later in the day… that’s usually the time when I shoot some sit down content and or start to “Chef-It-Up!” No matter how long the trip is, every time out, I like to do a feature cooking segment. I’m constantly planning new dishes for trips and I love to live my motto which is an easy one…

“THERE’S NO NEED TO EAT POORLY ON THE ROAD!”

After dinner, this is one of my favorite things to do in my rig and that’s to clean up the kitchen and then settle in to watch a movie on DVD. Why DVD? Because I have a ton of them and still love watching them and the extras. I always put a Bluray DVD machine into my RV, to watch movies and it’s my down time before bed and I get to look back a great classic movies.

And then with the movie over, it’s time to snuggle up in bed and go to sleep to the sounds of the outdoors and dream.

So that’s how I basically like to RV. It works for me, and has in the past. Moving forward, I suspect it will be the same with some slight modifications depending on the rig and where I go.

So this was a good exercise, to put everything down and think about how I like to RV. Love the suggestion from so many of you. It also makes me wonder… how do YOU like to RV? Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear and who knows maybe even trying something your’e doing once I get my next RV and hit the road again!
