Now winter camping trips in a camper don’t count. You have to sleep in a tent or a sleeping bag on the ground. A camper is cheating in my book, but if you do plan a winter camping trip in your motor home, make sure you got some good rv insurance. Some of the steep roads going to campground areas can be a nightmare in the winter time and especially if a little rain or snow starts to form ice on the roadways. It can quickly become a dangerous situation and don’t think the heavy weight of an RV will keep you from sliding off the road. You see the big 18 wheeler trucks wrecking all the time and no vehicle is prone to icy roads. Save your big fancy camper for the summer time and leave the winter camping to those that brave nature’s cold nights in tents.

One luxury item is allowed for a camping trip and the radio without earphones is your one luxury item. If you start allowing too many luxury items, it spoils what a camping trip is meant for. I know everyone has their own definition, but the more rugged it is, the better you will appreciate the modern things we get to use everyday. That pillow on your bed and your soft mattress gets taken for granted daily. Now try sleeping without them for one night and you will understand how lucky we are to have beds and pillows. Now go get with your friends and plan out a camping trip for this December or January. Be safe out there and make sure to pack more than you would for a summer camping trip.
