The Top 10 Tips For RV Camping In Summer

RV camping in the summer can be a lot of fun, but it’s important to be prepared for the heat.

Here are my top 10 tips for RV camping in the summer:

1. Choose the right campsite. When choosing a campsite for summer RV camping, look for one that has plenty of shade trees. You’ll also want to make sure the campsite has access to water and electricity.

2. Set up your RV in the shade. If possible, set up your RV in the shade of a tree or awning. This will help keep your RV cooler inside.

3. Use fans and air conditioners. If you have an air conditioner in your RV, use it! You can also use fans to circulate the air and make it feel cooler.

4. Stay hydrated. It’s important to stay hydrated when camping in the summer heat. Drink plenty of water and avoid sugary drinks.

5. Take breaks in the shade. If you’re spending time outdoors, take breaks in the shade to cool down.

6. Wear sunscreen and a hat. It’s important to protect yourself from the sun when camping in the summer. Wear sunscreen and a hat to avoid sunburn.

7. Cook and eat indoors. Cooking and eating indoors will help keep your RV cooler. If you do cook outdoors, try to cook in the early morning or evening when it’s cooler.

8. Take showers in the morning or evening. Taking showers in the morning or evening will help you stay cool during the day and avoid waking up in the middle of the night because you’re hot.

9. Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day. If you’re planning on doing any strenuous activity, such as hiking or biking, try to do it in the early morning or evening when it’s cooler.

10. Have fun! RV camping in the summer can be a lot of fun. Just be sure to take precautions against the heat and stay hydrated.

Personal tips from Steph

Here are a few personal tips for RV camping in the summer:

  • Bring a portable fan. A portable fan can be a lifesaver on hot days. You can use it to circulate the air in your RV or to cool yourself down while you’re outside.
  • Freeze water bottles. Freeze water bottles overnight and take them with you during the day. You can use them to stay hydrated or to cool yourself down by putting them on your wrists or neck.
  • Eat light meals. Eating light meals will help you stay cool and comfortable. Avoid heavy, fatty foods that can make you feel sluggish.
  • Take advantage of water activities. If you’re camping near a lake or river, take advantage of the water activities to cool down. Go for a swim, go kayaking, or go canoeing.
  • Enjoy the campfire! Just be sure to build your campfire in a safe location and extinguish it completely before going to bed.
