Camping with Kids? Flexibility is Required!


The art of flexibility is the single most important  principle to remember when camping with children. There is a 99.9% chance that everything will not go as planned and that's your opportunity to improvise. Try to remain calm and stay in the moment of the experience. Show your children the beauty of the outdoors and give them your undivided attention. You set the pace for a fun and memorable experience.
Be flexible when camping with kids. Odds are your outing probably isn't going to go exactly how you planned it. Maybe someone in your group just isn't good at getting going in the morning, or an afternoon rainstorm disrupts your plans. Roll with it. Nature is often unpredictable. The point is not to stress out about putting a check mark next to every single thing on your wish list, but to enjoy being outdoors with your kids. If you're not enjoying the experience, it will be hard for them to.

A Survival Guide for Camping With Kids


Having small children shouldn't prevent you from camping. Their presence certainly makes planning and preparation more difficult but the memories you'll make are worth every minute. This article shares creative ideas for organizing your next family camping adventure and salvaging a little sanity in the process. You can still go camping with small kids! Learn how here...
Of course, packing up the car and heading into the woods today is certainly not as difficult as it was even 10 years ago. Mobile phones make emergencies much less frightening and gear concepts like child backpacks and portable pack n' play cribs make corralling the little ones a little less stressful. Lori Schilling-Davis, a flight attendant with American Airlines, has been camping with her two children since they were 3 years and 10 months old. Logan is now 7, Delaney is 4, and she says she's just reserved their favorite Lake Tahoe, NV, campsite for Logan's camping birthday party (his idea). Schilling-Davis says the hardest age for her was when the kids were crawling. "Take a pack n' play," she advises. "Otherwise it's just dirt - they're eating dirt, sniffing dirt up their noses." She says the pack n' play serves 2 purposes: a bed for sleeping and a playpen where they can watch what's going on around camp.

Should You Cover Your RV in the Winter?


The care and maintenance of your RV varies based on the weather conditions of your specific area of residence.  Many owners often wonder how their RV should be stored in colder climates to preserve its best state. Forest River Inc tackles this question and many more frequently asked questions for motor home lovers around the world.
Storing your RV under a roof type cover or within a building when the RV will not be used for an extended period of time is always a good idea when this option is available to you. When you must store your RV outdoors during periods of non-use you also have the option of using a temporary cover that is draped over the RV, then fastened onto the RV tightly. Many of these covers have a DuPont TTY® top or roof panel and polypropylene side panels. Many RV owners prefer to cover their RV’s with the drape-over style covers to protect the surfaces and finish from UV breakdown, dirt, leaves, birds and other airborne contaminates. On the other hand, many RV owners feel that to cover an RV with the drape-over style covers may lead to chafing and that chafing can lead to rubbing the decals off and other finishes.

Cooking Without an RV Generator


Cooking in your RV can present a few challenges but cooking in an RV without a generator can be even more difficult. There are several factors to consider when planning and preparing your meals. Read this article for great tips on how to create awesome meals in your RV with or without a generator.
If you don't have an RV generator, don't despair. You can still do quite a bit of cooking in your RV kitchen. Many RV stoves and ovens run on propane, so you can still use them to prepare a wide variety of meals. If you do have an RV generator, then you can use all the appliances in your kitchen, as long as your RV generator doesn't run out of fuel. Make sure your RV generator is full when you leave for your trip, and top it off along the way just to make sure. Dry camping without an RV generator or hook-ups takes a little more planning, but you can still prepare good, hearty meals. Use the fire pit at your campsite for grilling and roasting, and use ready-made foods, such as cereals, fruit and crackers for breakfast and lunch. Be sure to plan your meals ahead so that you know what foods to bring along and what campgrounds may not provide hookups. Or, if you just can't resist having fancy meals no matter the occasion, invest in a large RV generator to ensure you can cook gourmet meals wherever your vacation may take you!

This is a simple yet effective way to secure the small stuff. Shutting the door to falling objects.

Trailer Towing Safety


RV road trips can be big fun but safety guidelines must be in place so that your getaways are safe and secure. Knowing the proper way to attach your trailers can make the difference in life threatening situations. This article highlights great safety procedures to help keep you and your family safe this summer. 
People who tow trailers share the same safety concerns as other RV drivers. However, a tow vehicle and a trailer form an articulated (hinged) vehicle which presents an additional set of concerns. The weight considerations described on pages 30 and 31 are very important to safe towing. The tow vehicle must be a proper match for the trailer. If the trailer is properly equipped, it can perform safely under a variety of driving conditions. The tow vehicle should also have enough power to climb mountain grades without excessive loss of speed.
