Obviously, the best thing about owning an RV is the ability to travel. Not only can you travel freely, you can do it on a budget, meaning it’s fairly easy to get up and go whenever you please. However, many RVers prefer not to pack up and go on a whim. These travelers much prefer to plan their adventures in advance.
Of course, there are pros and cons to both spontaneous and planned travel. For this reason, my family finds that we enjoy both types of travel, and we will go back and forth between the two depending on our moods or the destination we have in mind.
Wondering what the pros and cons of each might be? Consider these:

Wondering what the pros and cons of each might be? Consider these:
Money
Thinking about your budget and planning what you will spend before leaving on a trip could potentially save you quite a bit of money. The ability to book RV parks in advance will likely mean lower rates overall, and thinking about food and stocking up beforehand will result in spending less at restaurants.
Mood
On the other hand, spontaneous travel gives you the opportunity to hit the road whenever the mood strikes. The same cannot be said of pre-planned travel. In fact, travel that has been planned could even be scheduled for a time when your mood is less adventurous, meaning you’re stuck moving on before you’re ready.
Comfort
Comfort is another thing to consider. While having your house with you wherever you go certainly helps keep you comfortable, it’s also important to consider things like electricity, water, and temperature. Planned travel makes it easier to ensure you have hookups for your RV every night.
That said, traveling on a whim means you can move with the weather without any kind of schedule to hold you back.

Mishaps
When you live a traveling lifestyle, you are bound to run into a problem or two from time to time.
Pre-planning your trips can help you avoid many of the potential annoying mishaps out there. After all, knowing where you’re going, where you will sleep, and having a contingency plan can really go a long way.
With that in mind, you might also consider the freedom that spontaneous travel allows. This is great when mishaps do occur, as it means there is no set schedule that must be adhered to.

Adventure
Most people set out in an RV in search of adventure. Some of the very best adventures are found when you least expect to find them, meaning unplanned travel is the perfect way to find unusual adventures. Still, there is something to be said for planned travel, which allows you to research things to do in any given area and pick and choose the things that best suit your family, budget, and schedule.
So which way is the best way to travel? Personally, I like to use each type, switching between them as I see fit. However, you might find that one is much better for you. Whichever way you decide to lean, you are sure to have an amazing time
