Travel Tips for RV Enthusiasts
RV trips give you more freedom than most ways to travel, but they’re not exactly “wing it and see.” Planning helps. Here’s what I’d keep in mind:
Plan Your Route
Don’t just trust your gut—use GPS or map apps to sort out the best way there. Game day traffic can get wild, so maybe have a backup plan if things go sideways.
Book Your Campsites Early
College towns fill up fast during big games. Secure your spot early, especially if you want hookups for water and power.
Check the Weather
November weather’s a wild card. Keep tabs on the forecast, and if you’re heading north, make sure your RV’s ready for the cold.
Tailgating Essentials
Tailgating’s half the fun, right? Here’s what you’ll want if you want to do it up right:
Food and Drinks
- Grill: It’s not a tailgate without one. Burgers, dogs, maybe some wings if you’re feeling ambitious.
- Coolers: You’ll need cold drinks and fresh food. Don’t skimp here.
- Snacks: Grab chips, dips, and whatever else you can eat with one hand.
Entertainment
- Portable Speakers: Music or pregame shows—either way, you need sound.
- Games: Cornhole, ladder toss, whatever gets people moving.
- TV Setup: If you’re going all out, bring a TV and satellite so you don’t miss the other games.
Comfort
- Seating: Foldable chairs and tables make a world of difference.
- Canopy: Shade if it’s sunny, shelter if it’s not. You’ll thank yourself.
- Heaters and Blankets: If it’s cold, you’ll want these. Trust me.
Safety First
Fun’s great, but don’t forget about safety. Here’s what I always keep in mind:
Stay Sober
If you’re driving, skip the drinks. The game and the vibe are enough.
Secure Your RV
Lock up before you leave. Wheel locks and a little caution go a long way.
Emergency Kit
Have some basics ready—first aid stuff, a flashlight, extra batteries, and a couple of tools. You never know when you’ll need them.
Conclusion
Week 13 in college football? It’s a wild ride for fans and RV travelers. There’s always a buzz in the air, and honestly, there’s nothing quite like it.
If you want a smooth trip, plan your route ahead of time. Book those campsites early—spots fill up fast. Don’t forget your tailgating gear, either. The right setup can make or break your day.
