Top RV Challenges for Couples
-
Challenge: Larger RVs are more comfortable but they can be tougher to navigate in small campgrounds, narrow parking spots, and on city streets.
Solution: Balance your space needs with driving ease; look at Class B or small Class C models if you plan to visit cities or undeveloped campgrounds. Worried about backing up? Plan ahead: Book drive-through camping sites.
-
Challenge: One of you likes a firm mattress, the other prefers soft. And that tiny bed? Not exactly what you’re used to at home.
Solution: Look for RVs with quality queen beds rather than convertible sofas. Some newer models even have adjustable firmness or memory foam options. Light sleeper? Look for layouts with semi-private sleeping areas.
-
Challenge: Nothing tests a relationship quite like sharing a tiny bathroom with limited privacy and water capacity.
Solution: Prioritize models with separate shower/toilet areas when possible. No bathroom in your campervan? Research campgrounds with good facilities.
-
Challenge: You both love cooking, but RV kitchens can feel impossibly small when two people try preparing a meal together.
Solution: Look for layouts with pull-out counter extensions and efficient storage. Foodies should prioritize refrigeration size and cooking capabilities. Need your morning coffee? Make sure there’s counter or table space for that essential appliance!
-
Challenge: You love each other dearly, but after three rainy days inside, even the strongest relationships need breathing room.
Solution: Find layouts with multiple seating areas, a pop-up sleep/lounge area, or outdoor-friendly designs with sun shades. Rainy day tip: RVs with swivel front seats make a bonus living space when parked.
-
Challenge: Your stuff expands to fill available space—and RVs offer precious little of it.
Solution: Look for layouts with under-bed storage, clever cabinet space, and exterior compartments. Pack light and bring versatile clothing.
-
Challenge: Eating on your lap gets old fast, especially when you're living on the road.
Solution: Choose RVs with stable dining tables that don't wobble with every elbow bump. Look for comfortable seating and tables that can double as living spaces for reading, card games, etc. And eat outdoors when weather permits!
