Road trip! You’ve decided to go on a road trip this summer. Here’s our guide to planning your perfect summer road trip in a luxury sprinter van.
Review Your Budget
An important first step in planning the perfect summer road trip is reviewing your budget. By having in mind how much you want to spend on this summer vacation, you will have a better idea of how far you can go on the road trip and where exactly you will want to go. This can also dictate what stops you make along the way. Will you choose to do free activities like hiking and exploring, or will you want to stop and do experiences that cost money?
Decide on Your Destination
If you’ve decided on a budget for your summer road trip, a good next step is deciding on where you are traveling to. Popular summer road trips include national parks like Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, or Grand Canyon National Park to name a few. Route 66 is a popular road trip where the drive is the destination. Perhaps you want to take the kids to Disneyland! Either way, deciding on a destination is a great next step in planning your perfect summer road trip.
Make an Itinerary
Many travelers like to plan out an itinerary so they have a general idea of what sights they’ll want to stop at on the way to their destination. By making an itinerary and researching hours or guides to these specific stops, you can best time and prepare for your trip to make sure to maximize all you get to see on this road trip. Making an itinerary can also be helpful in planning out where you are going to stay in advance, although this is not as necessary if you are traveling in a luxury sprinter van as you can sleep in your mode of transportation!
Time Your Road Trip
While deciding when you are going to start your road trip and when you are going to arrive back home is an important part of planning your summer road trip, the dates don’t have to be exact. By traveling in a luxury sprinter van, you have greater flexibility. If you see a site that you just can’t help but explore an extra day or the drive takes a little bit longer than you expected, extending your trip is easy in a luxury sprinter van. Our luxury sprinter vans have WiFi and fold down tables that are perfect for remote work if you are out of PTO but end up extending your road trip a day or two.
Do Your Research On Your Van
While you will want to research things like your route and your trip, there is also specific research you can do to make your experience in your luxury sprinter van even better. You can use the iOverlander app to find free camping sites along your route. Load the Gas Guru app on your phone to conveniently check on cheap gas near you to save money. Watch the rpms and find out what speed works best for your van. You may get better miles per gallon at a certain speed, and you may want to drive a certain speed if you are looking to save money.
