RV trip

#rv#trip#camping#vacation#travel

An RV means a new bed, a new kitchen and a different view each morning, and for many children it is the unpredictability that grates. With the pictures below you can walk through the trip in advance, so the new already feels familiar when you set off.

About this visual support

On an RV holiday the bed changes address every night. The kitchen fits in a drawer, teeth get brushed in a new car park, and the morning light comes in from a different side than at home. For a child who leans on fixed points, that many loose threads at once can feel shaky.

Here it helps to make the trip visible before it happens. With visual support you can lay the day out in a row: drive, stop and eat, use the toilet at the rest area, make up the bed in the camper, brush teeth, sleep. Your child sees that an order exists even when the place keeps changing, and a known sequence makes an unknown spot easier to trust.

One concrete tip: take a photo of your actual sleeping spot in the RV and add it early, so the evening picture matches the real bed. In the Routined app you can build a travel routine that rides along in your phone and works as well at a lay-by as at the campsite.
