Planning Your RV Trip
So many games, so many places—yeah, planning can get a little overwhelming. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your road trip:
Map Out Your Route
Start by listing the games you want to see and sketching out the best route. Keep an eye on distances and travel time between stadiums.
Don’t forget to include rest stops and overnight stays at RV-friendly campgrounds. It’s easy to overlook the basics when you’re excited.
Book Campgrounds Early
Popular games and bowl sites fill up fast, so book your campgrounds as early as you can. Look for spots with full hookups, Wi-Fi, and easy stadium access.
Prepare Your RV
Before you hit the road, give your RV a good once-over. Check the tires, engine, and all those little systems that can ruin a trip if they go wrong.
Stock up on food, water, and all your tailgating gear. You’d be surprised how fast you run out of snacks.
Embrace the Tailgating Experience
Honestly, tailgating might be the best part of the whole thing. Join the crowd in the parking lot for some pre-game fun.
Bring your grill, your favorite snacks, and plenty of team spirit. You’ll make memories—and maybe a few new friends—before kickoff even happens.
