Class Sessions

Introduction

1:25

In this class, you’ll receive daytrip planning advice based on the length of your stay. Whether you plan long weekends, vacation stays, or extended trips, you’ll be able to research, select, and plan outings your whole family will enjoy.

Things to Consider

15:50

Before you begin planning, this class gives you some items to consider. You should consider family preferences, which explore the types of activities that your family likes to do. Consider the abilities of your family. If you’re traveling with toddlers or seniors, for example, that may alter your options. Budget should also play a role in your planning process.

Defining Stays

4:15

The class breaks daytrip planning into three categories: Long-weekends, vacation stays, and extended trips. The activities you plan during an RV stay are often dictated by how long you’ll be in one location. Shorter stays, or long weekends are 3-4 nights. Vacation stays are 7-10 nights, and extended trips are 10+ nights.

Long Weekends

12:57

With such a short window of time, your list of activities will be fairly short. Consider taking trips that keep you close to the RV, averaging 30 minutes away. Look for local or regional spots to explore. Consider family game nights, check out local trails, or take advantage of on-site amenities to fill your days as well.

Vacation Stays

11:20

With 7-10 nights at your disposal, you have more flexibility in your day trips. You can plan longer trips and still factor in days to rest in between. You can venture one, or even two hours, from your RV for day trips. Consider touring local cities, visiting a theme park, and explore a calendar of events to see if there are regional activities to add to your itinerary.

Extended Stays

14:04

Extended stays give your family the ultimate ability to plan. With 10+ nights in your trip, you can take your pick of adventures. Consider looking for national or state parks to explore, find walkable cities to discover, search for fun places to eat, research live music venues, or plan a multi-day visit to a theme park.
