Outdoors & Adventure
RV Travel
Drive something you can sleep in, and stop wherever the night finds you
Rent one for a week before buying anything: ownership runs into serious money, and a single trip tells you whether you can live like that. The day-to-day is less about scenery than about fresh water, power, waste tanks and reversing something long down a narrow lane. Popular campgrounds in season book out months ahead.
First stepRent a small RV for a week, book campgrounds ahead, and learn to hook up water and power and to empty the black tank.
