As summer time gets closer and the weather starts to improve, RV owners tend to get a little bit antsy for their next trip. Summer time is the perfect weather to head out in your RV and explore beautiful North America. There are endless things to see and so many places to be explored all from the comfort of your RV. Here are some tips on how to make this year's RV trips even more epic and unforgettable. 

Eco Friendly Soaps

Consider using eco friendly soaps for your next RV trip. While this may seem like a small change that might not affect you as much, you could be happily surprised. Eco friendly soaps are not only better for the environment, but they also help to detract animals from your campsites. Regular harsh chemical soaps have odours that curious animals tend to want to check out. Eco friendly soaps do the exact opposite and therefore help to keep critters like racoons away from your family during your travels. They also help to keep your grey water as unpolluted as possible. This is helpful for the local wastewater treatment centres that your grey water gets sent to. It makes their treatment process faster and more effective which in turn is great for your local campgrounds. By taking care of your campground you can ensure that you can keep coming back there for years to come. 

More Windows

We all know just how important it is for us to get sunlight. There is no question that people are happier when they get more vitamin D from sunlight and being outdoors. A great thing to add to your RV if possible is more windows. Let more sunlight into your space and allow yourself to see the outdoors as much as possible. If privacy is a concern due to the amount of visibility, invest in some adjustable shades or awnings to help choose your amount of privacy at any given time. Another great option is skylights, which allow the sunlight in directly from above. Increasing the amount of sun let into your RV will dramatically increase your mood and overall vibe of your trips. 

One Pot Meals

This is another thing which may not seem like a drastic change but really can improve your overall trips. One pot meals are quick, easy and also use less water. Cutting down on your water usage is eco friendly and also great for you as travellers since you are leaving more water for other uses such as showering. Invest in a good pot that can be used inside your RV and also be used over the fire. This allows you the freedom to cook indoors or outdoors. One pot meals also lock in flavours and provide some of the tastiest food you will ever eat. It also cuts down on dishwashing time so you can enjoy more of your nights around the fire. 

Extra Storage

Giving yourself extra storage in your RV is always a great idea. An even better idea is adding that storage to your roof. This allows you to free up space inside your RV for a more roomy, and homey experience. Roof racks are available for most models of RV and make for a great place to store things that would otherwise take up space within. You can get soft or hardtop storage cases which provide great support and protection for all of your items. It is a great way to allow yourself more freedom with what to bring on your trips and means that you spend less time narrowing down what can come and what can’t. Increase your outdoor activities by bringing along kayaks, canoes, hiking gear, outdoor games or even just bringing extra water stores for those long journeys. 

Solar Panels

When looking for the next smart investment for your RV, look no further than solar panels. There are so many options for solar panels in your RV from permanently mounted panels to panels that you bring out only when you need them. They can store energy in batteries that will allow you to charge your equipment or even power the smaller electric items in your RV. They are a great option when camping in non services campgrounds or just for all around use. Not only are they a great start to being more eco friendly but they are generally just an all around smart idea. There are many options of solar panels that produce energy even on overcast days and will never leave you stranded without power. Knowing that you have the added security of constant electricity is a luxury that will really help to ease your mind and leave you more relaxed on your next vacation. 

Bring Your Toys

Extend your summer fun this year by beginning a whole new element to your travels. Equip your RV with a trailer hitch and trailer for the ability to bring along your favourite toys such as ATVs, jet skis, boats or anything else that can propel you through the weekend. Toys like these deserve to have tons of time spent with them, and what better time than during your RV adventures. You should not have to limit yourself between an RV weekend or an off road weekend. Combine your favourite activities and find a campground that will let you have both. There are many camping areas where you can park your RV and also explore the land on your all terrain vehicles. This will turn your RV weekend into an unforgettable adventure. 

When it comes down to it, we all know that having an RV trip is one of the best ways to spend time in nicer weather. There is no limit to the places you can go and activities you can get up to when you take out your RV. Maximize your fun, well being and adventure this year by trying out these tips. You never know where you can end up when you are making the most of your RV and its capabilities.
