Exploring what nature has to offer is very enjoyable. This is what has made going to RV Parks very popular. Despite its various benefits, RVing has its own set of challenges such as wind, bugs, spiders, dark, heat and so on. However, the challenges should not stop you from enjoying what RVing has to offer. This article will give you tips for overcoming these challenges.
Bugs & Critters
-Use dryer sheets to repel bees by hiding unscented dryer sheets below your table cloths
-Mixing water with Pine-Sol in the ratio 50:50 in a spray bottle can help keep your tables, furniture, and patio clean and also repels flies.
-Sage is a good bug and mosquito repellent. So, to keep mosquitoes and bugs away, add it to your campfire.
-Applying a mixture of Listerine and household vinegar on your body is a good way to keep bugs away as the smell is repulsive to them.

Storage Solutions
