RVing
Recreational vehicles, or RVs for short, allow people to experience the outdoors in a different way than tent camping, and tent campers often cross over to the RV lifestyle. (Sleeping in a warm bed during a rainstorm has its perks!)
Nevertheless, there is prep and planning that’s needed for an RV vacation, no matter how many times you have ‘RVed’ and whether you rent or own one. Safety should always come first when hitting the road, whether it’s a Class A model, camper van or if you’re pulling a fifth-wheel.
For many, RVing is a ‘home away from home’ and it’s an affordable way of vacationing. You can stock up on what you need, there’s on-board storage, perhaps a shower and microwave, and being on wheels (or having your own wheels nearby) gives campers a sense of freedom and flexibility. People are now working from their RVs – from offices with views – and the popularity of full-time RV life is increasing.
British Columbia campgrounds cater to RVers of all kinds, from those in search of rustic settings to glampers looking for full-service five-star RV resorts. Some RVers like to move around, while others prefer to stay put.
Haven’t tried it yet? What’s holding you back? Give the RV way of life a try!
