Travel RVing is way past ready-- are you? College football season is here. Are you ready to experience the ultimate sports week-end? There can be no equal to tailgating at your favorite school's game in an RV. Whatever your choice of RV --class A motorhome, travel trailer, 5th wheel, camper van, truck camper, teardrop trailer--you will be hosting an unforgettable event complete with all the modern conveniences. If you are a tailgater, you have surely noticed that tailgating events are becoming more organized and elaborate every year.
No doubt about it, tailgating has become an art form in its own right. It is as much an American pastime as the game that follows. In it's essence, tailgating is all about entertainment, stuffed full of all the simple things in life -- food, family, friends, fans, and fun.
Remember that tailgating parking spaces are not all created equal. Get there early for the best seat in the house. Heck, if the college allows it, get there a couple of days early. You won't be the only ones. This is one of the reasons why RVers have fallen so in love with the college football experience vs. the pro game. College tailgating starts earlier, lasts longer, and ends later than pro tailgating.
You absolutely MUST decorate your RV suitably for the occasion. Bring banners, flags, balloons and run them all around your RV. After all, you don't want there to be any doubt about who you're rootin' for! And decorate your body accordingly. Paint your face, wear outlandish team colors. Go a little crazy with school spirit. This is your tailgating extravaganza, so have it your way.
Food. Huge subject. The assortment found at tailgate events will be taste-bud boggling. You will usually find lots of regional foods at college tailgating parties. The grill (or smoker) is commonly the cooking equipment of choice. Variety is the key to success after heating up the grill. But, remember, you have an RV. You can use your RV galley to prepare some of the food, warm it in the microwave, and enjoy it outside in the parking lot. Tables should be filled with the 5 main food groups of tailgating fare. Grilled meats (from every animal, bird, and fish known to man), chips and dips, crock pot surprises, deep fried everythings, and liquid libations.
While the food is cooking, have some games and entertainment available to get everyone psyched up for the game. Toss around a football, make up new cheers for your team, play washer toss games. Bring along music and listen to inspiring songs like We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions by Queen. Music has a powerful effect on the body and the mind and evokes an emotional response from us within seconds.
Travel RVing urges you to get your RV in gear and go out and support your team. You will never regret it, always remember it, and probably be hooked for life. College football tailgating is addictive. You'll see...
Live your RVing lifestyle to the fullest!
