All sorts of things: RV camping trips, full-service tailgating, a great way to follow NASCAR races, extended vacations, a seasonal home, fulltime RV living...and the list goes on.
In fact, there is no list. Your RV lifestyle is what you want it to be.
And that's really the point of this website. Simple steps on how to get the most out of RVing - in a style that fits you.
We had been preparing for our RV lifestyle - long before we made the dramatic move. We knew what we wanted. We had spent plenty of time churning through lots of information. Trying to figure out where to start (and equally important, when to stop "trying to figure it all out"). So we offer our lessons learned and suggestions - whether you are just starting out, are back in the market for a new or used RV, or are a seasoned RVer looking for other perspectives on how to get the most out of your RV lifestyle. When you're ready to focus on some sort of decision or change, here's a little memory jogger to help you get your "ACT" together: A = Ask Yourself What You Want And always remember the Who! Who else is in this with you? What's important to them? Let's say you're thinking about buying a camper for affordable RV vacations. Enjoying the great outdoors. Bringing the family closer together. Fishing in peaceful solitude. Old-fashioned good times. Before you get too carried away... make sure the rest of the family is on the same wavelength Continue that mental picture in your mind. The specific questions you ask yourself will depend on your circumstances. What are you going to use an RV for? How often? To go where? For how long? Will you stay in one place awhile or move every couple days? When do you want to do this? What time of year, at what point in the future, does it matter? Where are you going to keep the RV? Where do you want to go? How does this fit with other hobbies and interests you have or want to explore? Do you need to take golf clubs, bicycles, or fishing gear with you? How are you going to afford it? Why are you thinking of RVing? As your everyday lifestyle, or a family vacation, or a way to winter in warmer climates? Is this for retirement, for now, or a bit of both? Is the RV to make your NASCAR passion or tailgating more enjoyable? Is it to try something new and see if you like it? This is not a test. There are no right and wrong answers. Heck, you don't even need answers at this point. But Asking yourself some questions starts momentum. It triggers possibilities. It gets ideas rolling around in your brain. Some conversations held with the people who are in this with you. Asking tells you what you don't know... so you can ... C- Check Things Out. Learn. You have probably heard the expression "Getting there is Half the Fun". A perfect theme for the RV lifestyle itself. Well, it's also appropriate in the context of checking things out. The learning about RVing, the anticipation - is truly half the fun. There is plenty to explore, none of it boring. Browse around this website for information and suggestions. Key areas to check out: Types of RVs, Campgrounds, Timeshares, RV Buying, New vs. Used, Memberships, RV Lifestyles like Fulltiming, RV Costs, or our Top Ten. That's a start! Another aspect that many would-be RVers want to consider is working on the road. Check out these free ebooks that explore how to do business on the road. Even just browsing types of RVing gear available through Camping World Whenever you can find a way to try something out, do so. It really helps you visualize the RV Lifestyle and it's fun! Ways to get hands-on learning: RV Shows, RV Rentals, RV Clubs, RV products for you and your rig. Really try it! By the way, don't think you have to figure it all out. When we bought our motorhome, we sure didn't know everything under the sun about how RVs worked or how we would live. But we had done our reading and tried things and talked things out. We were comfortable that we had our act together to make some key decisions. And now, we learn as we go - it's part of RV living. And it all started when we took action. So, go ahead and ACT and enjoy your RV lifestyle. Have a Motorhome? Join FMCA How did we build this site? Your RV Lifestyle Blog
It happened fast! Friends, family and co-workers were politely aghast.
But it didn't really happen in a flash. We didn't just wake up one day and throw all caution to the wind.
C = Check Things Out
T = Try It on for SizeA - Ask Yourself What You Want
We're not talking about any in-depth evaluation of inner motives here. Just a little time thinking about what you want out of your RVing experiences. Try the drill of "Who, What, When, Where, How & Why?"
If you're changing to a new RV, what do you want to be different? What has to be the same?
(Be sure to check out our RV Classifieds where you can sell your old RV and search for a new one!)
Are you looking for a change in rig or RV lifestyle?
Are you considering upgrades or accessories (solar panel, awnings, RV furniture, camping supplies)? What features are important to you? will get you thinking.
