Tips for RV Camping With Your Kids

Teach Your Kids the Rules

RV safety is everyone’s responsibility, and your children will always appreciate being involved in the process. Teach them the habit of buckling up as soon as their little fingers can work the seat belts, and give them the power to hold you and your spouse accountable in case you forget to set a good example. Everyone needs to remain seated while the RV is in motion, and the driver should never be distracted. Children are easier to keep quiet and entertained on the road in the era of the smartphone, but be patient with them when they get fussy.

Lock Everything Down

You already have enough experience driving to know that anything that’s not secured in a vehicle can turn into a weapon when you come to a sudden stop. That’s even truer in a large RV full of people and gear. Your RV already has cabinets designed to remain secure while the vehicle is in motion, but you should line the shelves with anti-skid lining. You should also be careful when you open cabinets after you stop. Cords, cables, and anything that dangles should be secured, and you should always look around for anything loose before you get back on the road. Make sure that your emergency escape window is clear and that the red handle is visible and operational.
