Quality Time
Campervan holidays are a brilliant way to spend quality time with your family. It can sometimes seem like everyone has a busy life independent from each other when living in the same household. Everyone has their own things going on which can sometimes make it hard to plan some things even as simple as sitting down to have dinner together with everyone present. With a campervan, in the most pleasant way possible, it forces you to enjoy each other’s company. It’s a brilliant way to find out what is going on in your children’s lives as they get more comfortable over the duration of the trip. If you don’t have younger children then it is the perfect way to re-kindle relationships and remember why you’re with your partner, spending quality time together.
Working 9-5?
Get out of the boring daily routine of working 5 extremely long days a week, and doing much of nothing on the weekend. With a campervan, every journey can be an adventure; there is no longer the need to leave at a certain time in order to reach your destination before dark, because you can locate a campervan friendly site and park up for rest, this often means you can make the most of a full day by travelling through the night. It means making time for more trips away, planning activities and cheaper travelling. When growing up we didn’t expect to have to work until we get ridiculously old before retiring and living out the rest of our lives doing not much else than waiting for a visit from a family member. Keep yourself active and enjoy your life whilst you can. If you work doing physical trade you would be surprised how beneficial a campervan can be to your work, being flexible with locations can open you up to more business and custom. Many people who opt to live the campervan lifestyle take their holidays from work in a large chunk together allowing for much more self development time and a real amount of time to enjoy life, it also benefits those with younger children and can minimise the cost of going on holidays through school breaks as airline prices always rise at these times.
Travel like never before
On any standard holiday you are limited to where you can go and what you can do with your time; campervans offer you a different way to enjoy your holiday being able to travel from one side of a country to the other – just because. The ability to tour a country on a whim, unbeknown of the destination, or where you will stop on the way is an exhilarating experience. All of those towns and obscure villages that have been untouched by the modern day are so much easier to view, witness and create memories around.
Relaxing on holiday
Of course most holidays have the relaxing factor, but camping holidays can be some of the most stress-free times of life; you could be in a peaceful campsite, on a serene cliff or parked up near a sandy beach lying on a lounger reading a book. With a campervan it eliminates the stress of booking a hotel, paying a security deposit, reading countless reviews only to find out when checking in that it was the worst decision of your life to book that awful hotel. There are no surprises with campervans, you already know exactly where you’re staying whether you’ve had a campervan converted specific to your needs, bought one as is or had a part conversion as an avid D-I-Yer.
Ultimately, owning a campervan makes such a difference to daily life and it really makes you appreciate how many things we see as essential are really unnecessary, it allows each person to relax and enjoy each other’s and their own company. Whether you opt to use it every weekend or for occasional holidays it is something which everyone should consider as a tool to get back to basics.
