RVing with an Infant

My wife and I have RV'd for a few years with our three boys. We recently found out that we had a new one on the way. Has anyone had experience RVing with an infant and have any thoughts / recommendations to offer?

  • I agree. Go for it. When our youngest was just about 1/2 year old, we took along a Graco porta-pack and set it up in our very small Wilderness trailer to Southern Illinois to the Hot Air Balloon festival. We also had our 4 year old daughter along. So 4 of us and the Graco portacrib in the trailer. It was very hot (we had no air conditioning unit) so we went out to Walmart and bought a couple of fans. The cicadas were in full voice (like a roar). We had a great time, the 4 year old LOVED the hot air balloons, especially the shaped ones, and the baby did just fine.
  • We did it... First trip our oldest was 3 weeks old. He didn't know difference between the TT and home. He slept as soundly in his car seat as he did in the crib. Kids are 15 months apart. We traveled with them all the time. The result, our kids could make themselves comfortable anywhere and knew how to play and entertain themselves and us. Numerous experiences made them well rounded, friendly, adaptable, resilient adults. Have fun! And congratulations!!!
  • What a great time to break them in early!!!!
    You can change a diaper in an RV as easy as at home.
    Whats the problem?
