The year is drawing to a close and its time to make those dreaded New Year’s Resolutions. Instead of the usual “start exercising” or “eat healthier”, why not resolve to be a better RVer? By making a few tweaks to your RVing personality, the coming year will be more enjoyable for you and those around you. Take a look at our RVers list of New Year’s resolutions below for some suggestions.
1. Book 'Em
Take short weekend trips more often. Sit down at the first of January and start booking. If the trips are booked and paid for, you’re less likely to back out of using them. It’s so easy to get busy and put off traveling, but the busier you are, the more you need to relax and unwind. Think of it as taking a much-needed weekend break from all the things that stress you through the week.
2. Explore New Places
Vow to see new things—even in old places. So you go to the same places everytime you camp. That’s ok. There is always something new to see! When we are away for the weekend, we always try to see three new things or visit three new places we’ve never seen before. If you’re the type of camper that never leaves the campground, you can still accomplish this by hiking down paths you’ve never hiked before or by visiting parts of the campground that you’ve never visited.
3. Fire Time
Spend more time socializing around a campfire. Time spent relaxing around a campfire is not time wasted. There is nothing better than a group of friends sitting around, roasting marshmallows, chatting and laughing about just whatever.
4. Maintenance
Take better care of your equipment. Remember the old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”? Same goes for your RV! A cover, tire covers, windshield covers, roof covers, and other types of protective covers will help keep your RV in tip-top shape and ready to use for years and years to come. Making sure to keep the RV clean and waxed will also help protect the exterior.
5. Camping Therapy
Take better care of YOU! Let’s face it…life flies by at a million miles an hour it seems. Purposefully slowing down and enjoying time with family and friends can certainly make life more enjoyable. Take a walk and spend some time communing with nature. Just think of your camping trips as therapy, because that’s truly what they are!
