How to Prepare for Hunting in Your RV

When you’re planning to use your recreational vehicle for hunting, there are some key factors to consider before you head out. For starters, you need to be sure that your RV is suitable for hunting. More importantly, there’s some essential stuff every hunter should carry along with them. In order to properly prepare for your RV hunting trip, you should start by scouting the location in advance. Regardless of the activity, it’s crucial to keep yourself and passengers safe.

Perks of RV Hunting

A recreational vehicle can make your hunting trip even better! You’ll be able to go out during the day to explore the wilderness around you, then retreat to your camper for a filling meal, a hot shower, and a good night’s sleep before you greet the next day’s adventures. And there’s even space onboard for guests, so you can bring more people along with you to join in on the fun!

Choose the Right RV

It’s important to make sure that your camper is cut out for hunting. After all, there are several different models and each is geared toward a specific use. For example, if you have powersports vehicles, you want a toy hauler that can give you a place to store your machines when you’re not using them or you’re transporting them. If sleeping arrangements and other amenities are a priority, you should look into a travel trailer or a fifth wheel, which has larger living quarters. However, maybe you just need the basics like a pop-up camper.

Packing for the Trip

In addition to having the right rig for hunting, make sure that you have got the right gear, too. A gun and bow rack is a worthwhile accessory to consider so that you have quick access to your weapons when you need them. There are racks that come with built-in cushions and locks to keep your items secure.

You’ll also want to pack for the weather. Sturdy hiking boots are generally a good idea as hunting grounds can take you all over different types of terrain, but if you’re going somewhere where you can expect it to be warm, then lighter clothes are probably going to be the best choice for you. We still recommend long sleeves and long pants, but they don’t need to be made of heavy material. Don't forget to look up the chance of rain and bring waterproof outerwear if needed. Finally, be sure that you wear reflective gear so that other hunters can easily see you.

Hunting with your RV can be incredibly exciting and can open up your hunting experience in a new way. If your camper needs any repairs or if you’re looking for RVs for sale near Massachusetts, visit Rte. 125 RV & Marine. We are located in Rochester, NH, where we serve all those in Maine.
