Once winter hits and your RV is stored away, it’s time to plan for the next season of RV travel! You can use this downtime to plan your upcoming adventures as winter is the ideal time to prepare for the journeys ahead. Think about what worked well for you this past camping season, what you’d do differently, and what new experiences you’d like to check off your bucket list! Continue reading for helpful tips and suggestions to plan your next season of RV adventures.
Pick your Destinations or Routes
As you prepare for the next camping season, start by mapping out your destinations and routes that match your travel style. Create a bucket list of places you’d like to go. Consider the experiences you’re most excited for – whether it’s exploring scenic national parks, cruising coastal highways, or discovering hidden gems off the beaten path.
When and How Long
Once you’ve picked out your top destinations, you’ll want to consider when you plan to travel to these locations, and for how long you’ll be gone. Consider how far you’d like to travel each day and build in extra time for any extra stops or detours along the way. Don’t forget to plan for fuel stops, grocery runs, and rest breaks!
You’ll want to also consider the best time of year to visit different regions, factoring in any weather, crowds, and campground availability. With a little extra planning ahead of time, you will set yourself up for a smooth, stress-free journey.
Book Early!
Popular RV parks and resorts fill up fast – don’t wait too long to reserve your favorite spots! Booking early not only gives you peace of mind as you plan but ensures you get the best spots and might also save you money. Campgrounds may offer discounts for booking early and Winnebago owners, make sure you’ve signed up for the Winnebago GoLife Perks Program to receive exclusive discounts on popular RV camping memberships. The GoLife Perks Program also gives you access to campground memberships at discounted rates from 20% to 100% off! Savings add up quickly and help you to stretch your travel budget!
Stock up on any Gear and Accessories
Before hitting the road next season, take some time to review your current RV gear and accessories. Stock up on all of the essentials – everything from kitchen utensils and cookware to outdoor chairs, grills, and camping tools. Inspect your current items for any wear or damage and replace them now so you’re ready in the Spring to hit the open road.
This can also be a great time to consider upgrades! Are there any accessories that could make your RV trips even more comfortable and convenient?

Create a list of what you need to do to prep your RV
Create a list of what you’ll need to do to your RV when you’re ready to bring it out of storage so you can hit the road and aren’t sidelined by any unexpected issues. Start the list with inspecting your RV for any signs of damage or pests. Check all tires, fluid levels, batteries, and propane. This is also the time to dewinterize your RV! Test all lights, appliances, and chassis signals to ensure everything is functioning properly. Give your RV a good wash and wipe down the interior to remove dust, cobwebs, and debris. Once you’ve completed checking things off the list and it’s clean, it’s time to restock your essentials. Don’t forget things like toilet paper, paper towels, and cleaning products. Now it’s time to enjoy your next adventure.
With thoughtful preparation – from mapping out your routes and booking campsites early to refreshing your gear and prepping your RV – you’ll be ready to hit the road with confidence this Spring.
