If this is the first time you are going on a spring camping trip, you will likely need a few suggestions to make your outing successful. As your local camper dealer, we at Camping in Style know a few things about using your RV to make the most of the pleasant weather. That’s why we have created this guide for you to follow.
Perform Pre-Ride Checks
When preparing for your trip, the first thing you’ll need to do is de-winterize your camper.
Start by giving it a thorough wash and be careful of critters that may have tried to sneak into your rig to stay warm during the winter. You’ll also want to inspect your tires’ health condition and adjust the air pressure in them to your manufacturer’s recommendations. Next, you’ll want to top off any low-level liquids like oil and fuel and examine your appliances to see that they function smoothly. Finally, you’ll want to change out any burnt-out light bulbs and use an air freshener to make your camper smell nice and fresh.
Pack Up
When packing for your spring camping trip, remember that sometimes the sunshine can be deceiving. Pack enough layers to stay warm and comfortable and bring along waterproof clothing and boots just in case it rains. These pieces of gear will help you enjoy your trip and not feel cold and miserable.
Manage Common Problems
You’ll also want to prepare yourself to tackle a few seasonal problems prevalent around this time, such as mosquitoes and bugs. Make sure that you bring some mosquito-repellent solutions and itch-relief creams to prevent insect bites from ruining your camping experience.
Consider Trail Changes
More importantly, you’ll want to look up any latest information on trails that may have been re-routed due to snow and fallen leaves.
We hope these tips help you create fantastic memories of your spring camping trip. If you need more advice or are still in the market for a new camper, visit Camping in Style. Our dealership is in Whitby, ON, but we also serve Oshawa and Mississauga—so swing by today.
