One of the most valuable steps you can take before hitting the road in your RV is planning your drive in detail. While spontaneity has its charm, a well-thought-out route reduces stress, minimizes unexpected roadblocks, and helps you make the most of every mile. This includes identifying rest stops, fuel stations, low-clearance warnings, and — perhaps most importantly — interesting places to stay or visit along the way.
That’s where services like Harvest Hosts shine. With a membership, you gain access to thousands of unique overnight stops at wineries, farms, museums, and more. Planning your route with Harvest Hosts locations in mind not only ensures you have safe, scenic places to rest, but also enriches your trip with local charm and memorable experiences that traditional campgrounds might not offer.
Before leaving, review your planned route with RV-friendly navigation tools to avoid roads unsuitable for your rig. Factor in your preferred driving time per day — most RVers find 4-5 hours ideal — and map out backup stops in case of delays. Layer in Harvest Hosts stays strategically to break up long stretches, making each leg of your journey something to look forward to rather than just a means to an end.
This level of planning transforms your trip from a simple drive to a curated adventure. With a Harvest Hosts membership, you're not just planning where you’ll go, but what you'll experience — ensuring that your journey is just as rewarding as the destination.
