Girl Camper

Hit the Road! It’s National Go RVing Day June 14


Listen Later

In the latest episode of the Girl Camper Podcast, host Lesa McDermott chats with Monika Geraci, Senior Director of Public Relations and Communications at the RV Industry Association, to talk all about National Go RVing Day, happening this year on June 14, 2025.

Created to encourage people to explore the RV lifestyle, Go RVing Day is the perfect excuse to hit the road, try something new, or finally take that weekend camping trip you’ve been dreaming about.

RVing Is for Everyone—No Big Truck Required

Monika debunks one of the biggest myths about RVing: that it’s only for retirees with giant trucks and big budgets. In fact, 85% of RVs on the road today are towables, many of which can be pulled by SUVs or smaller vehicles. With RV prices starting under $10,000 and rental platforms like Outdoorsy and RVshare, it’s easier than ever to try RVing—without a big investment.

First-Time RVer Tips from the Pros

Whether you’re heading out for your first trip or planning to rent an RV for the weekend, Monika and Lesa share practical advice to make your adventure stress-free:

  • Keep your first trip close to home
  • Arrive at your campsite well before dark
  • Practice towing ahead of time
  • Plan, but don’t rush—take your time and enjoy the journey
  • Girl Camper and Go RVing have tons of beginner towing tips and planning guides to help you feel confident on your first RV trip.

    Try Before You Buy

    Not ready to commit to RV ownership? No problem. Monika recommends visiting a dealership, attending an RV show, or renting a camper to explore different styles and layouts. Rental companies and peer-to-peer platforms offer a wide range of options—from teardrops to Class Cs—so you can find what fits your lifestyle.
