6 ways to pass time on an RV road trip

From nostalgic audio books to capturing a photo diary, here’s how we like to pass time on an RV road trip.

1. Track your route on a printed map

Break out a map of your journey and mark it as you go — where you’ve been, the detours worth taking, and the roads nobody else is on.

2. Check out an audio book

Library memberships offer a wide array of free audio book rentals. A childhood favourite the whole family knows is a good place to start.

3. Research your destination

Put the co-pilot to work: bring a guide book, search Google, or watch videos on YouTube about where you’re heading.

4. Create a photo diary

The passing scenery, the landmarks and the pit stops as you document your journey — and give the kids a camera so you get their version too.

5. Download a few podcasts

Especially if you’re driving alone. Hobbies, true crime series, or something RV-specific.

6. Play mad libs

The books run from silly to scandalous, and they hold up for a surprisingly long stretch of highway.
