5 Rainy Day RV Activities
Rain can put a damper on your RV trip — when everyone is stuck inside, even the biggest motorhome can start to feel cramped. When you're prepared with a few fun rainy day activities, you can turn a wet day into a fun opportunity for family bonding. To learn more, call our team at Carolina Coach & Camper, or visit our location in Claremont, North Carolina, serving Charlotte and Winston-Salem.
1. Movie Marathon
A rainy day is the perfect excuse to have a movie marathon. Stock your RV with a stack of films or TV shows you're excited to watch. Don't have a DVD player? Don't plan to rely on streaming services — campground Wi-Fi is notoriously slow. Instead, download a bunch of shows to your laptop or tablet before you head out. Then, grab snacks and cozy blankets and enjoy a relaxing day. This is also a great way to recover from a busy vacation or rest up for a big hike.
2. Prepare an Elaborate Meal
Camping meals tend to be fast and casual. If you love to cook, make the most of a rainy afternoon by preparing a special meal. Enlist the whole family in shopping, chopping, and stirring. If you have an awning, enjoy your feast outside while you watch the rain.
3. Game Day
An RV is a great place to play board games; you don't need much space. Gather everyone around the table, and allow each person to pick their favorite game. Play one round of every game — this strategy keeps things moving, so no one gets bored.
4. Visit an Indoor Attraction
Is your group too big to be comfortable in the RV all day? Head out to a nearby indoor attraction. Check out the science museum, try the local roller rink or bowling alley, visit a shopping mall. If you're in a small town, head to the movie theater and splurge on snacks.
5. Tackle Interior RV Projects
When the weather is nice, it's hard to find the motivation to repair a leak or fix the cabinet door. Save it for a rainy day — you won't mind being inside, and you'll feel accomplished when the sun comes out again. Other great projects include cleaning the windows and floors, organizing cupboards, restocking supplies, or putting your closet in order.
Whether you're a full-time RVer or an occasional camper, a rainy day doesn't have to bring down the trip. By looking at the weather as an opportunity, you can have a fun or productive day.
