If you’re planning to rent a campervan, the planning can be overwhelming. Below are some tips to consider before your vacation.
Distance: Your destination will be affected by the time it takes to travel. If you are planning a weekend trip, your travel radius will be much smaller than a longer summer vacation or a trip to another country.
You should also consider how many kilometers you can cover in a day with your RV. Many experienced users recommend limiting your mileage to around 300-350 kilometers per day, or about 5 hours on the road. Driving a large RV can be more mentally taxing than driving a compact car, and the speeds are slower. We also recommend arriving at your destination before dark to make it easier to set up your RV.
You will definitely want to include a few rest days on your trip, so plan carefully. After a long day of driving, spend the day sightseeing, hiking, or taking a break from driving in other ways.
Caravan-friendly route: We recommend that you make sure that the roads you choose are passable by a caravan. Some winding roads or roads with low bridges or other obstacles may not be suitable. When planning your route, you can proactively drive through bottlenecks in a car or use Google Maps.
Consider your trip: If you’re planning a summer trip during the holidays, we recommend making reservations in advance at many places, which is less important for off-season travel. You’ll also want to be prepared for crowds and lines at popular attractions and RMK/recreation areas.
Gather inspiration
If you’re not sure where you want to go on your RV trip, you can start by thinking about what you want to do on your trip.
Beaches: Estonia is blessed with a long coastline, we have many beaches that you can easily reach with a caravan! Many of these beaches are accessible by caravan, so you can relax as if you are on the beach. You will wake up to the sound of the sea and relax in the evening watching the sunset.
Hiking trails: If you like hiking, you might want to focus your trip near hiking trails. In our opinion, the most convenient places are RMK sites, where there is a lake or river and hiking trails nearby. This ensures a pleasant stay in a specially designated place and the opportunity to meet other vacationers.
Events: You can also find inspiration for your trip based on the events that interest you. Various events such as festivals and car rallies are extremely popular among our customers. Or if you prefer to visit the many outdoor concerts and enchanting light shows in the Estonian dome landscape, a caravan is the best solution for ensuring a pleasant vacation and overnight stay.
National RMK recreation areas: Estonia is full of exciting public RMK sites with activities for several days nearby. Rent one of our comfortable caravans and spend your family holiday in South Estonia, Saaremaa, Hiiumaa or by Lake Peipsi. All these beautiful places to discover are within your reach, as you don’t have to worry about accommodation, restaurants, ferry times or the time of day.
