Lifestyle

Maybe you need a little extra space for the family. Or maybe you’re planning on bringing a few close friends on your next camping trip. Either way, sometimes your RV just doesn’t have enough sleeping space for your needs. Fortunately, there are a lot of great solutions for adding space to your existing camper! Keep reading to learn more about the options available to you.

Murphy Beds

You’ve probably heard about Murphy beds. These beds fold up and away into the wall for more floor space during the day, so they are a great solution for adding sleeping space in your camper. Make sure to check the dimensions of your RV before installing a unit.

A benefit of this additional sleeping option is you can basically get any size of bed depending on how much room you have. If you’re worried about an eyesore, a Murphy bed is a great way to keep a bed out of sight.

Hammocks

Camping hammocks aren’t just for the great outdoors! You can use a hammock as an extra sleeping space inside of your camper. Hang it up indoors and you instantly have another bed. It’s easy to take down and put back up, so you won’t need to worry about it getting in the way or being an eyesore. You can string your hammock across the living area or kitchen. Make sure it is well supported and secure. You definitely don’t want anyone falling out of it during the night!

Cab Bed

If your RV has some extra overhead space above the cab seating, you can easily transform this place into another sleeping area! It can be as simple as putting a sleeping bag up there, or you can break out your DIY skills and build a cot. You can even potentially fit a small mattress in that space. Make sure to measure the space so you know how much room you actually have.

This option is generally for smaller passengers or for those who don’t mind being in tight spaces. A lot of people have gone with a cab bed, so you’ll be able to find great resources and advice for making your own!

When you travel by RV, you might stick to close-at-hand places for weekend getaways much of the time. But what if you want to take a big cross-country road trip? It’s important to be prepared for all the issues the open road can bring when you’re traveling for hundreds or thousands of miles at a stretch, especially if you’ve got kids who can become easily bored over long days of driving. Here are some ways you can make sure you and your family are ready for your next RV adventure.

Ready Your RV

Examining your RV and making any adjustments or performing maintenance tasks is crucial to ensure your safety on the road. Failing to check your lights, tires, brakes, oil, and fuel before you leave can result in a breakdown on the highway, which can be dangerous in addition to causing you to lose valuable time. Don’t be shy about contacting the R’nR RV Center service department if you’d like us to look over your RV before you leave to address any issues you’re having.

Be Prepared For Emergencies

Make sure you pack gear to deal with emergencies that may arise, including:

• Functional fire extinguishers
• Additional food and water
• Blankets
• First-aid kit
• Axe or hatchet
• Rope
• Duct Tape
• Spare fuses
• Tire repair kit
• Emergency radio

Bring Some Entertainment

You and any fellow drivers can become bored on the road after hours of driving across dull interstate highways. Your passengers can also grow bored and restless, especially if they’re children. Make sure that everyone stays entertained by:

• Packing favorite coloring books and journals for children to use.
• Downloading educational apps or games for kids to play with on tablets.
• Creating travel playlists where everyone in the family contributes their favorite music.
• Downloading audiobooks, especially of favorite children’s series, will surely take away the hours.
• Searching for recordings of stand-up comedy routines by your favorite comedians.
• Playing some road-trip games, such as “I Spy.”
