What You Should be Doing Right Now to Prepare for a Summer RV Trip!
Even though summer may feel far away, it’ll be upon us before you know it. Whether lockdowns are lifted or not, RVing can be a great way to spend the warm months, so start thinking about what you should be doing right now to prepare. We here at Pete’s RV Center Indiana have provided some tips to get you started, but if you still need an RV for summer, check out what we have available at our location in Schererville. We also serve those from Indianapolis, as well as Champaign and Decatur, Illinois.
Choose Your Destination
The obvious first step to any camping adventure is choosing where you want to go this camping season! Having this basic information at your disposal can help you make many other decisions. Choose a place that’s a family favorite or travel somewhere new. Consider what you and your loved ones enjoy most whether it be hiking, fishing, or just relaxing in the great outdoors to help you make a more informed decision. Once you have a spot in mind, be sure to plan stops along the way too!
Make Campsite Reservations
This will be particularly important for popular locations. The sooner you can make your reservations, the easier it’ll be to find an opening in the area you want to visit. Keep in mind, there may be even fewer options if a campground is playing it safe and limiting the number of sites it rents out.
Pull Your Current RV Out of Storage
If you already have an RV and it’s been sitting in storage, you’ll want to start thinking about the right time to pull it out. You’ll probably need to undo some of the prep work you did for the winter, like purging the plumbing system of antifreeze and washing the exterior.
Give yourself a little bit of buffer time between preparing for the first trip and the actual first trip. The prep alone can take some time, at least a day, but you don’t want to find out last minute that your RV might need a maintenance check.
Start Looking for a New RV
If you don’t already have an RV, it’s time to start looking. It can take a while to find the right model and complete the buying process, and you don’t want that to eat into the camping season. Plus, if you act now, you can still take advantage of off-season deals and promotions before they disappear!
And that’s where Pete’s RV Center Indiana comes in. We have a wide range of RVs for every kind of camping party. We’re happy to help all those from Schererville and Indianapolis, as well as Champaign and Decatur, Illinois. Check out our online inventory and contact us about some of your favorites today!
