How To Maintain A Healthy Lifestyle While RV Living

Sep 29, 2020

Socially distanced travel has brought RVs back into the fold in a big way. Here's how you can make sure you stick to your health goals while traveling and living in an RV.

Picture this: You're cruising across Jackson Hole, Wyoming at dawn, best friend in the passenger seat, and pup snoring soundly on the backseat. Stretched behind you, a rented RV hauls your gear, sustenance, and sleeping abode for a rejuvenating week at the scenic campgrounds of Grand Teton National Park. You'll be grilling, paddleboarding in Jenny Lake, and hiking picturesque trails. Once you and your crew have had your fill, you'll be packing your bags (truck?) and heading North to Yellowstone to do it all over again. This is RV living.

As summer weaves into fall and socially distanced travel becomes the norm, RV road-tripping has increased in appeal for all wanderlust travelers out there. So much so, that in a recent survey of more than 19,000 current and prospective RV owners, nearly 50 percent of respondents are planning a trip in October, which is past typical RV season that usually ends about the end of September.

If the road is calling your name but you're worried that embarking on an RV road-tripping adventure will undermine your ability to work out, eat healthily, and sleep well, read on. Experienced RVers share how you can stay on track with your wellness and make your RV living experience just as healthy — if not more so — than your usual grind.
