Even if you’re tired of hearing things like “these are unprecedented times”, it’s true. Schools across the state, and country, have been put on hold. Sports, music lessons, and all the other extra-curricular activities were canceled right along with it. And on top of that, everyone who can is now working from home. That’s a lot of time together at home.
Families are used to spending every minute together when on vacation. But when the kids are trapped at home with little to do, it doesn’t take long for everyone to get bored. However, these “unprecedented times” also provide RVers with the opportunity to pack up and get away from home. While many state park campgrounds have shut down, there are still places where you can park your RV while practicing social distancing.
With an RV, it doesn’t matter that restaurants and hotels are closed. You and your family have everything you need right in your RV—a place to sleep, a place to cook, and your own bathroom. There are plenty of places in nature that can be enjoyed right now. And, with few people out and about, it’s easy to keep your distance while having fun.
Since we aren’t sure exactly when this quarantine will end, it’s the perfect time to buy an RV and practice social distancing with your family. Here are some models to check out:
Jayco Jay Flight
Right now, you can pick up this Jayco Jay Flight for less than $100/month. It’s a lightweight travel trailer that makes it easy to tow while still providing you with the necessities for self-quarantining on the road. You have a place to sleep for the night. The kitchen has a sink, two-burner stove and microwave. And, you still have a bathroom with a toilet and shower. It’s a great fit if you’re RVing solo or with your partner.
Starcraft Autumn Ridge
If you have a larger family and want an RV that everyone can be comfortable in, this Starcraft Autumn Ridge is a great option. And, right now you can get it for less than $150/month.
This travel trailer can sleep up to 10! And, it even includes a bunkhouse that can let the kids have some of their own space when you’re all spending time in the RV together. The kitchen includes a mid-sized refrigerator, three burner stovetop, and a double-sided sink to make cooking a breeze.
Keystone Cougar
This Keystone Cougar is RVing at its finest all for less than $250/month. The travel trailer can sleep six while providing plenty of living space to enjoy while using your RV to self-quarantine, including a fireplace. With a spacious dinette, plenty of room to cook, and comfy chairs to sit in while you watch your favorite show or movie, you’ll start to feel the pressure of this pandemic melting away.
The RV even has an outdoor cook space so you can enjoy the indoors and the outdoors while social distancing.
Make the most of this time
There are a lot of things that are out of our control right now. We don’t have a say when our kids go back to school or when the majority of people can return to work as we previously knew it. But, that doesn’t mean we have to just sit at home and binge on Netflix.
There’s an amazing world and it’s good for our physical and mental health to get out in nature. Use this time to build positive memories as a family instead of sitting in your house with anxiety and stress building up.
