RVing with Kids: 3 Essential Features and 3 Perfect Motorhomes
RVing can be a fantastic family adventure, and bringing along kids or grandkids on your next outing can not only be fun for them, but you’ll enjoy the time you spend together. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that children can have more specific needs than adults. While you might be willing to forgo the comforts of modern living while you’re out in the wilderness, children may not be so eager to do the same. That’s why, if you’re still looking for the right RV, you’ll want to keep a few features and a few brand names in mind as the perfect choice for kids. To help you out, we’ve provided our thoughts on exactly what features and brands you should be looking for when you stop by Independence RV in Winter Garden, Florida. We welcome all those from Orlando and The Villages, so visit us today and let us know how we can help you!
Sleeping Quarters
Of course, the most important feature to consider is making sure you have enough sleeping arrangements for your entire camping party. This includes anyone you expect to regularly invite as a guest, so if you’re expecting children to join you, you’ll need more than just the master bedroom.
Motorhome beds can come in a variety of options, including fold-out furniture and bunks. Bunks can be a great option for children because they’ll enjoy the privacy and the feeling of having their own bed. You can even look for RVs with more than one private area so the kids can have their own separate space to sleep and entertain themselves.
Plenty of Space
Children have energy. A lot of it. At some point, you might find their energy keeps going when you’re ready for a nap. Giving kids space to run around is crucial. On nice days, this can easily be accomplished by heading outside the motorhome.
However, you’ll likely have some days where the weather makes it difficult to spend time outside. That’s why having that space available inside the RV is crucial. It could mean the difference between a peaceful day indoors and a challenging one.
Safety
Safety should always be a priority, but it’ll be even more important when there are kids on board. At the very least, if your kids are traveling in the motorhome with you, you’ll need to make sure they have a place to sit that comes with a seatbelt.
If you have particularly young children that require a car seat or booster, you might have to make some accommodations. Different states have different car seat laws, although it’s worth noting that Florida’s laws are a bit simpler. Nevertheless, their safety comes first. If you can’t safely secure the child in the RV, you might need to consider having a second driver travel with them in a commuter vehicle.
Newmar Bay Star Class A Motorhome
There are plenty of other features you might want specifically to appease kids, but eventually you’ll want to start looking for the perfect motorhome. Luckily for you, we’ve got plenty of them.
Let’s start with the Newmar Bay Star, which can reach up to 36 feet in length and offers a number of great features that the whole family will love. This includes a warm and modern interior design and a range of entertainment options to find the perfect combination of appliances to keep everyone happy. You’ll also appreciate the all-new soft close mechanisms for most draws in the 2020 Bay Star. No more worrying about younger children pinching their fingers with this new feature.
Newmar New Aire
The Newmar New Aire is the perfect choice when you’re looking for as much space as you can find in a motorhome. These diesel pushers come with multiple slideouts to help maximize the space you’re given, so even on those days when you can’t enjoy the outdoors, your family will still be able to have a wonderful time at the campground. Plus, you’ll get all the storage space you need for gear to feed and entertain a larger camping party.
Newmar Canyon Star
With the Newmar Canyon Star, you’ll be able to choose from 9 different floor plans, including models that are nearly 40 feet long. This means you’ll have the option of two full bathrooms and a cargo bay for powersports vehicles. These models are the peak of luxury, and while children aren’t always focused on luxury, it’s the details that can help them relax and feel like they’re at home on the road.
