Wet Pets and Dirt-Free RV Roadtripping

Much of RVing and camping are a learned experience. Every outing brings a new event to be cataloged in memory and used in the future – or hopefully, forgotten to the ether. It’s especially true when traveling with pets (dogs, really). We wrote previously about taking dogs on the road and to music festivals. After a year of weekends spent on the road with our dog, Stella, we’ve found a few tools to reduce our shared anxiety, keep the pets safe and rig clean, and help improve our shared adventures.

So, when we went looking for our own travel trailer, we sought that outdoor kitchen. Amazing how many sales reps said we couldn’t get an outdoor kitchen in a unit under 27 feet or so. We eventually found Cafe Nirvana in our Coachmen Freedom Express 249RBS.

Festival campsite with tapestries, a carpet, chairs, and a Kelty tarp

You know you’ve created a comfortable campsite when you find a stranger asleep in one of your hammocks at dawn. At least, we guess that’s a good sign. Whether chairs around the campfire, an outdoor carpet for a guest to lay out his bedroll, or hammocks hung between trees (regardless of whether stragglers catch Zs), camping culture calls for a welcoming encampment. What pieces are required to create a perfect campsite? We have a few suggestions below. We’ll dig into some product reviews down the road.
