The Power of RVing
“ Every bump in the road , every obstacle you overcome , becomes a story to share with friends around a campfire and a lesson for the future .”

Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
@ shootingjohngunn via Twenty20
One of the best things about camping is that it can take you out of your comfort zone as you navigate unknown territory and explore new environments , both literally and figuratively . We all need to step outside of that zone , leave behind what ’ s familiar and safe , every once in a while . Because it ’ s when we challenge ourselves , when we push ourselves further than we thought we could go , that we grow . Being open to new experiences leads to learning and bigger knowledge of the world around us . If you ’ ve never gone camping before , just taking that first journey , no matter how near or far , can be exhilarating .
Undoubtedly , things will go wrong when you go camping . You get a flat tire or someone in your group gets injured . Believe it or not , all of this can be a good thing because it ’ s when things go wrong on the road and you rise to the challenge that you not only gain new life skills , but you also build your confidence and become a more capable human . You learn that zip ties and duct tape can be used for just about anything . You discover that breakdowns are an opportunity to spend a little more time enjoying the scenery at your current location . And every bump in the road , every obstacle you overcome , becomes a story to share with friends around a campfire and a lesson for the future . You draw on your experiences to make sure you don ’ t forget to pack your sleeping bag or you learn to identify poison oak before your next trip .
When you step outside of your comfort zone and embrace adventure , you are seizing life with both hands . You are stepping away from your ordinary to experience the extraordinary and this can be life changing . Camping has the power to transform us . Sound daunting ? Maybe a little , and that ’ s okay . You can ’ t experience all that life has to offer , or the benefits of camping , by staying where you are . So pack up your RV and head for the open road !
