Tips for RV Travel with Kids

Your RV is the perfect way to go on a camping trip with your family, but you probably know it can be challenging to travel with kids. However, it’s also worth it, because you’ll be able to create amazing memories and spend valuable time with your children. Here are some ways you can ensure that the kids are happy, healthy, and safe on your journey.

Give Them Something to Do

RV trips can feel tedious and long when you’re young. To avoid your kids playing on their phones or complaining, you should pack some good entertainment options for them. Travel board games are a fun diversion, as well as books and movies to play on a laptop. Let the kids help you assemble an upbeat playlist for the drive, too. Craft projects like friendship bracelets are great for the road since they don’t take much to do.

Pack Snacks and Drinks

Kids will get hungry and thirsty on the road, and they may start screaming if you don’t have some options available. A cooler filled with juice boxes, bottled water, freshly cut fruits, crackers, cheese, sandwiches, and yogurt will give the kids something to snack on, which will tide them over until you reach your destination and you can pull out the grill.

Make Their Beds Cozy

Sleeping away from home can be hard enough for adults, but even more difficult for children. A new place with strange noises outside can make it hard to fall asleep. Bring your kids’ favorite plush toys and blankets and make their beds up with the same sheets you’d use at home so that the space feels as natural as possible. A nightlight and a white noise machine can also help create a cozy vibe. Make sure the area is warm or cool enough to allow them to fall asleep fast.
