Every so often we share with you a tip, trick, life hack, or fact we’ve learned over the years to make traveling, RVing, or making memories with your family just a little bit easier.

Camping Life Hack - When planning meals for travel days in your RV prepare lunch ahead of time, usually while making dinner the night before. Have plenty of pre-washed fresh fruit and veggies on hand for snacks and get everyone’s water bottles full and in the fridge to get cold.

Traveling by RV can be a great way to explore new places and make memories with loved ones, but one challenge that many RVers face is how to feed everyone on the go. Between the demands of driving, navigating, and sightseeing, it can be tough to find the time and energy to prepare and enjoy a healthy lunch. But with a little bit of preparation and planning, you can make your travel days much more enjoyable and stress-free. Here are some tips to help you get started.

Prepare Lunch Ahead of Time

One of the best ways to save time and energy on travel days is to prepare your lunch ahead of time. This can be as simple as making a few sandwiches the night before or putting together a charcuterie board in the morning before hitting the road. Having your lunch ready to go will save you time and energy and help you avoid the stress of trying to find a quick and healthy meal on the road.

Stock Up on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

Another key to a successful road trip is to have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables on hand for snacks and meals. These healthy options will give you and your family the energy and nutrients you need to power through the day. Plus, they are easy to pack and won't take up much room in your RV.

Get Everyone's Water Bottles Filled

Staying hydrated is essential on any road trip, and this is especially true in an RV. Make sure everyone has a refillable water bottle and fill them up before you hit the road. Having cold water readily available will help everyone stay refreshed and hydrated throughout the day.

Consider Using Leftovers

If you're feeling creative, consider using dinner leftovers to make your lunch the next day. A delicious pasta dish or a hearty stir fry can easily be rewarmed and enjoyed on the road. This is a great way to save time and make the most of your meals.

In the end, with a little bit of preparation and planning, you can enjoy delicious, nutritious meals on the road, no matter where your RV travels take you. Whether you prefer to make sandwiches, enjoy fresh fruits and veggies, or rewarm dinner leftovers, the most important thing is to have a plan in place that works for you and your family.

Happy travels!
