Temperature

Air conditioning becomes more necessary as the temperature drops.  Many RVers are able to dry camp without electricity for a few nights even without solar. Almost all RV fridges and stoves use propane. RVers can use vent fans and open windows to make the RV more comfortable on warm days. The fall is a great time to travel because it’s not too cold.RVers do not have to worry about their pipes freezing, or finding a water connection to fill up their tanks. It’s the perfect time to travel and visit all those places that can be too hot in the summer, or too cold during the winter.

Scenery

The beauty of autumn scenery is hard to dispute.The freedom to choose your destination is a major benefit of RV travel. You’re sure to capture some incredible photos and create some wonderful memories.

Fewer Crowded

Many RVers and families do not like to travel during busy times. Fall is a great time to visit popular attractions. It’s not as crowded. It can lead to cheaper entrance fees, more camping availability, or shorter lines.

The busy season is over

The fall is the off-season for theme parks, state and national parks, and many other attractions. Families rarely go on vacation in the months leading up to Thanksgiving because kids are back at school. It’s a great time to buy discounted off-season tickets or visit a popular theme park. You can still enjoy the fun activities of spring and summer, but the parks will be quieter.

Campgrounds less crowded

Many families with young children prefer to travel during the summer months, and avoid travel between early September and mid-November. Camping grounds near popular attractions like national parks can have openings during this time, as they are usually booked up in summer. In the fall, campgrounds are more available, which makes it easier to plan vacations.

Fewer bugs

For some people, insects can make it difficult to enjoy the outdoors. The fall weather brings fewer bugs. In the fall, insects like mosquitoes, flies and gnats are much less common. RVers who travel with pets often worry about heartworms infecting their dogs or cats from mosquitoes. The majority of destinations have significantly lower bug populations in the fall, but there are exceptions.

Tick season may peak during the fall, depending on your destination. Wear a hat and long sleeves and pants when you return from outdoor activities. If you are bringing your pet, make sure they also have the right tick prevention.

One Last Trip before Winter

Due to the difficulty of traveling in winter, many RVers choose to only travel during the summer. Pipes can freeze when temperatures are too low, and RVers may have difficulty finding water for their tanks. Fall can be a great time to take one final trip before you winterize your RV. Traveling in the fall is great for a last trip, especially when combined with the many other reasons listed above.
