5th Wheel Toy Hauler Tips

There are many people who choose to travel across the country in their 5th wheel toy hauler. This type of recreational vehicle is perfect for both a summer vacation and winter vacation. A 5th wheel toy hauler vacation can be fun for everyone in your RV party, and you will find that this type of recreational vehicle vacation is easy to plan.

Three Tips to Planning a 5th Wheel Toy Hauler Vacation

• The first thing you should think about as you plan your vacation with your 5th wheel toy hauler is the time of year that you will be traveling during. Figure out which season fits your 5th wheel toy hauler needs the best. You will be packing the 5th wheel travel trailer according to the time that you will be traveling, whether during the summer months or the winter months. If you will be traveling with your 5th wheel toy hauler during the summer months, you may think about hauling wave runners, water skis, bicycles, etc. If you travel over the winter months with your 5th wheel toy hauler, think about snow boards, snow mobiles, and skis. You will pack accordingly.

• After you know when you will travel, you should decide the route you should take. Look at different maps that have routes listed on them, especially ones that site RV camp sites on the way. It is necessary that you plan your trip where you can park your fifth wheel in ample space. Ask the camp ground where you plan on staying if they have space for your size of trailer (typically 60 x 36 feet). When you speak to various campsites, ask them about their RV amenities. See if there are the necessary hook ups for your fifth wheel camper, such as electric and water. You may also ask about wireless internet accessibility. Do this ahead of time so that you will be prepared for your time on the road.

• You should also think about those who will be traveling with you during your motor home vacation. For example, if you will have children with you, ask the campgrounds if they have any playgrounds or kid friendly amenities for you to enjoy while you stay there.

Camping With Other 5th Wheel Toy Haulers

Also, if you will be RVing with several motor homes or 5th wheel toy haulers, then check campgrounds to see if they have a group rate available. This way you and your RV companions can all park and camp near one another. Also, think about the near proximity of the campsite to your main reason to travel, meaning near the ski slope or lake front. Find out nearby restaurants, and even make reservations ahead of time to ease the burden once you arrive.

By taking head to these three easy steps, you will be sure to have a well planned RV vacation. You will have time to enjoy yourself once you arrive and while you drive because you did the due diligence prior to leaving. Have fun!

What To Do While Vacationing In An RV

Posted by Bob Baxter on April 22, 2011 under RV Articles | Be the First to Comment

A long RV vacation is something to look forward to all year. The sights and experiences thrill young and old alike and each destination promises wonderful memories. Unfortunately, long rides in between can make for some unhappy campers, resulting in less than fond memories. To combat this, make sure that the RV is well stocked with plenty of fun activities.

When working to stock the RV with fun activities, take into account everyone's normal hobbies. For instance, an artist would appreciate pencils, paper, and other supplies while a seamstress might enjoy some knitting needles and yarn. Remember that passengers will need several hours of entertainment during a typical ride.

Your own preferences along with your fellow passengers determine exactly what supplies you will need to keep stored in your RV for long trips. Below are a few ideas that may make the trip more entertaining.

Board games and card games are great fun for both single and multiple players. If you need extra game ideas, bring along a book of card games for hours of entertainment. To find interesting and inexpensive board games, visit a local thrift shop or some neighborhood garage sales.

Both children and adults can enjoy the pleasures of a good video game. For multiple players, wire the game console to the television so all can see and hear the game. For single players, hand held games are best, allowing others to enjoy quiet time or other activities. Bring along headphones for the hand held game if other passengers will be annoyed by the sound.

If your RV comes equipped with a television, make the most of it by bringing along a DVD player and renting plenty of movies. Television series on DVD can also be rented at many libraries. Strive to select movies that all will enjoy or bring along headphones if others may need quiet.

Consider bringing along a variety of books for yourself and others to read. Chapter books are best for long trips as they take more time to read and tend to contain more intricate plots that capture the readers attention.

These ideas are just a few of the wonderful activities that can be brought aboard your RV for your long trip. Bringing these entertainments along will help the time pass faster and keep passengers from getting antsy.

You can save money on an RV by first shopping around. Class A motorhome auctions, and class B motorhome auctions offer a way to buy an RV at a cheaper price.
