An RV gives you the freedom of the road, but in the rainy season, you need to be prepared for the weather. Just because there’s rain outdoors does not mean you can’t enjoy life in your RV. Here are a few RV hacks so you can prepare for wetter weather.
Check the Canopy
Many models of RV have a canopy that acts as a shelter. Be sure to check how waterproof it is so you can use it in lighter rain to stay outdoors with a bit more space. You can also add waterproofing to some fabrics to strengthen them.
A canopy gives you a dry space outside the RV to take boots off so you don’t bring wet clothes and dirt into the RV. Towels placed just inside the door give you quick access to dry off without getting the inside too wet.
Prepare an Entertainment Store
If the weather is so bad that you don’t want to leave your RV, have a store of wonderful books and games you can use for entertainment. Traditional board games come in travel sizes to take up less space and will keep everyone amused for hours.
Look out for book swaps on your travels so you can exchange your reading material and always have something new to read in the rainy season.
Keep the RV Cozy
When it’s cold and wet outside you most probably don’t want to move. Create a cozy environment inside the RV with a custom-designed mattress for the bed area, a warm duvet and just get under the covers.
A bespoke mattress is one of the best RV hacks for the rainy season. You’ll be able to rest and relax, perhaps watch a video or two, and wait for the storm to pass.
Enjoy the Rain
Just because it is raining doesn’t mean you can’t go out. Do pack your waterproofs, plan your journey around wet weather attractions- and be sure to do a few things. You most probably won’t do much hiking but you can head to a city or small town and check out the museums, a good cafe or a library. There are concerts, movie theatres, and bowling alleys, too.
By checking the forecast, you can plan for traveling in your RV during the rainy season. You will find a lot to do even though it is wet. And one of the best RV hacks of all is to ensure you have a cozy space inside your RV to chill out and let the rain pass.
