RV Tailgating Tips

Tailgating is a uniquely American tradition. Experiencing it in a motor home is a unique venture.  With so many festivals and sporting events coming up this year, a good tailgating experience takes the cake. Here are our favorite tailgating tips.

Tailgating Tips:

The food – Likely the most important part of tailgating. Hot dogs and burgers simply won’t do! So bring out those BBQs and smokers and let your imagination roam. Here are some great recipes to get you started and you’ll be bringing in a crowd from the smell alone. You never know, maybe you’ll be entering into one of those high-class BBQ competitions before you know it.

If you’re looking for something simple, according to the Tailgate Party Planner, “Jim’s Tail Gate Beer” is the most important recipe:

1 – Cooler
3 – Bags of Ice
1 – Case of Beer

It’s not difficult to make, but it’s a mandatory dish. The same goes for water. Pack more then you think you’ll need. Hydration is key.
Parking – If you’re hoping for a prime spot, get there early! Sweet and simple.

Pick a side – Make sure there’s no confusion about what team you’re supporting and decorate your RV accordingly. Balloons, banners, and lots of colors. You can even bring a satellite and TV to run the pre-game show or play old iconic games of your team. And don’t forget the face paint and team flags, although I’m fairly certain that those are a given.

The luxury of an RV – The best part about tailgating in an RV is that you have all of your essentials on board for any weather condition or any issue that may arise. It’s all right there, packed up in your RV, including your bed to ensure that no drinking and driving occurs.

Meet your neighbors – Don’t be shy, go say hi to your neighbors. Everyone is friendly and there for the same reasons you are. It’s like creating a neighborhood. Bring extra food, be friendly, be respectful of opposing fans, and have fun!

Pack out what you bring in – Respect your team and the stadium by picking up after yourself.

Denver Attractions

One Mile Above Sea Level Step

Denver, also known as the Mile High City, is a city of outdoor activities and world-class museums. Here are 5 things not to miss when in Denver.

Denver Botanic Gardens

Denver Botanic Gardens Fountain

A nice place to stroll and see the diverse collection of flora. Wear sunscreen as some of the exhibits are outside.

Mount Evans & Scenic Byway

Mount Evans & Scenic Byway Mountains
Mount Evans & Summit Lake

Contrasted to the easier trails around Chicago Lake, Mount Evans has a rugged beauty which is part of being in the Rocky Mountains. Drive all the way to the top for a great lookout and possibly some snow!

Denver City Park

Denver City Park Garden

Denver City Park includes the Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature and Science within its borders as well as ponds, walkways, and a boathouse.

Denver Art Museum

The DAM is especially good for families of all ages with its interactive explanatory ‘living rooms’ on each floor.

Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Arts

The Kirkland Museum offers a broad range of pieces demonstrating decorative art in all styles.

The fascinating thing about Denver is how short its history is; legend says there was not a soul living in the Denver metro area before 1958, the year it was founded as a Gold Mining town. This industry provided Denver with the people and resources to grow drastically over the next 2 years, reaching a population of 100,000. Nowadays Denver is the place to be for US skiing in the Rockies, river rafting, hiking, and other fun outdoor activities. The downtown core is one of the friendliest to pedestrians and its skyline is dappled with skyscrapers against scenic mountains.

Chicago RV Rentals – Top 5 Activities

Chicago, also known as the Windy City or Chi-town, received the Travellers’ Choice award from Trip Advisor. This city has plenty to do and is in a great location to start your North America RV trip as it gives you close access to the US and Canada. Don’t forget to discover Chi-town before continuing on your road trip. These are our five favorite things to do in the Windy City:

SkyDeck

If you arrive in Chicago on a clear day, this should be your first experience. The tallest building in the western hemisphere offers views from the 103rd floor. What’s unique about this is the glass cubicles that you walk out onto and you can see the four states around Lake Michigan. This is a guaranteed way to conquer your fear of heights and should not be missed.

Museum of Science and Industry

Museum of Science and Industry outside Chicago

MSI Is the biggest science museum in the western hemisphere and there is plenty to see and experience! One of the most favored exhibits here is a German submarine that was captured during WW2. There is also a model railroad, a life-size coal mine replica, and Apollo 8. With over 2,000 exhibits, at least one full day is required here to do it justice.

North Avenue Beach

North Avenue Beach, Chicago

North Avenue Beach is on Lake Michigan. If you want a break from sight-seeing and city driving, enjoy a picnic here and people-watch until your heart’s content. Rent a bike to take along the riding paths, or join in a game of beach volleyball.

Michigan Avenue

Catch a trolley to Michigan Avenue after spending the morning at a nearby attraction such as Lake Michigan or Navy Pier then stretch your legs while taking in all Michigan Avenue has to offer. Cross the Chicago River, window-shop, pass landmark buildings and dine.  Make sure to get a picture by the river on Michigan Avenue when it starts getting dark for a beautiful backdrop of lit-up skyscrapers reflecting on the water.

Grant Park

Grant Park is Chicago’s version of Central Park, and is known as Chicago’s ‘front-yard’. The Park is huge and offers many attractions such as Buckingham Fountain. One of the world’s largest fountains that has delightful water shows and nightly light shows from April-October. The second largest art museum in the country, the Art Institute of Chicago is also in Grant Park.

Millennium Park is about 25 square acres on the northwest side of Grant Park, it contains a music pavilion and a Ferris Wheel and was constructed to celebrate the second millennium. This section of Grant Park is known for being extremely well laid out with a Play Garden for kids and art structures to entertain the grown-ups. Cloud Gate, a famous art structure, is in Millennium Park.

You may have heard that Chicago has a fierce rivalry with the Big Apple for best pizza but Chicago is also known for its variety of ethnic foods. As a ‘city of neighbourhoods’, each neighbourhood has different specialties to tease your taste buds! Besides the food, Chi-city has very approachable locals and with museums to beaches to parks to events, the city has lots to keep you entertained.
