Make sure your RV has a reliable internet setup. That way, you can stream the games and check out real-time scores and highlights.
Maybe invest in a mobile hotspot or satellite internet if you really want to avoid missing out.
Join the Community
One of the coolest things about RV trips is meeting other travelers. Talk football with fans at your campground or RV park.
Some places even throw viewing parties or host little events, so keep an eye out for those.
Safety First
Amid all the excitement, don’t forget to stay safe:
Follow Traffic Rules
Know the local traffic rules, especially if you’re driving to or from the bowl sites. Plan your route early and give yourself extra time for any delays.
Fire Safety
If you’re grilling or using a fire pit, stick to safety guidelines. Keep a fire extinguisher handy, and never leave a fire unattended. Better safe than sorry, right?
