Bringing the Home Field Advantage to the Road
Tailgating in an RV is the pinnacle of the college football experience. With Go RVing promoting the ultimate tailgate lifestyle, more fans are realizing that having a kitchen, bathroom, and lounge on wheels beats a cramped parking spot any day.
Whether you are a seasoned pro or a first-time renter, the key to a successful weekend is preparation. You want to focus on the game, not troubleshooting your power hookups or hunting for supplies.
Essential Gear for Game Day Comfort
Don't let a dead battery or a lack of seating ruin the vibe. Your RV setup should be optimized for both hosting and relaxation.
- Portable Satellite Dish: Don't miss the pre-game coverage just because you are in a remote lot.
- Heavy-Duty Patio Mat: Protect your RV interior from the grass, mud, and spilled drinks that come with heavy foot traffic.
- Outdoor Power Strips: Keep multiple devices charged so your guests can stay connected to the scoreboards.
Strategic Parking and Safety Tips
When you are heading to a major game, arrival time is everything. Many stadiums and campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis for premium spots.
Always check the specific guidelines for your destination's parking policies. Be mindful of generator usage hours, as many venues have strict noise ordinances during quiet hours to ensure everyone gets a good night's sleep before the big kickoff.
Hosting Like a Pro
The secret to a great tailgate is the menu. Keep it simple with slow-cooker recipes that can run on your RV's battery or shore power during the game.
Designate a 'cool zone' inside the RV for people to escape the heat or rain. Always have a dedicated trash bin outside to keep your site tidy and welcoming for neighboring fans.
