It’s not going to be long before the world opens up again and (hopefully) we will be able to get on with our travel itineraries. It seems like such a long time since any of us breathed the free air and indulged our wanderlust.
But in a post-lockdown world, what are vacations actually going to be like.
Sure as the sun rises, they’re not going to be the same as they were before. Even if the virus disappears, many outlets will probably continue operating some sort of social distancing policy, just to please their insurers.
In this kind of environment, campervan holidays seem like a stroke of genius. They’re an amazing way to see the world. Plus, they allow you to easily maintain social distancing between you and other people. You just roll up to a campsite, put up your awning and you’re done!
Getting ready for campervan holidays, however, can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you haven’t been on one before.
In this post, we explain what you need to do, even if you don’t own any kind of mobile accommodation.
Try The Airbnb Of Campervans
Imagine how convenient it would be if there was an Airbnb for campervans. You could just rent a vehicle when you need it and then give it back to the rental company after your holiday for somebody else to use. No massive expenses. No enormous piles of debt. Just a small payment for when you wanted it.
Well, it turns out that such Airbnb-style sites exist. And you can use them to borrow other people’s campers for a small fee. It’s the perfect way to hit the open road.
Combine Campervans With Camping
Campervans are also a great way to experience camping as well. You don’t actually have to stay with your vehicle. If you want to camp on the side of a mountain, you can just use your camper as a base and hike the rest of the way. Just use a camper trailer cover to keep everything dry and set off. The world is your oyster.
Decorate Your Camper With Artwork
The great thing about going off-grid is that you’re able to live your life how you like. Nobody is there telling you that you have to be a certain way. You can just venture forth on your own terms, living how you please.
That’s why so many camper enthusiasts are obsessed with adding quirky artwork to their vans. They want to do the things that they would never dare do at home. Campers are like sheds – pretty much anything goes. There are no social conventions. So it’s a chance to actually create the environment you want, not one that’s acceptable for entertaining guests.
Take Your Bikes With You
As mentioned earlier, campers are like a “base of operations.” But, unfortunately, they can’t go everywhere.
No worries: just pack your bikes. That way, if you want to cycle along a track to a waterfall or explore the outskirts of a beautiful lake, you can.
