I survived a travel day from rural back roads, to Interstate highways, and passing through congested downtown Chicago in June 2023.
Travel days can be stressful, anxiety filled, and no fun at all. However, following a few tips you could find it enjoyable and a journey full of discovery!
HERE IS HOW:
Go slow, you are RVing; there should be no hurry
Take breaks to stretch and walk
Eat and stay hydrated
Enjoy the scenery
Watch for Brown Road Signs to see a Point Of Interest
Play your fave music or audiobook
Keep snacking to a minimum
Locate cheap fuel; use Gas Buddy app
Stop driving at 300 miles or 3 hours, which ever comes first

ABOUT
Howdy! My name is Scott. In 2017, I was unhappy with a traditional house (aka, storage unit) and a long Chicago commute. In 2018, I reinvented my life which included buying a Winnebago Travato GL Camper Van. Now in my 5th year of full-time travel in my Class B RV, I help others achieve their RV travel dreams more quickly and more fully. Thanks for watching and being part of the Go Small. Live Large! Community.
