BEFORE YOU ROLL IN

Minnesota
trip-planning notes.

01

Match the site to the whole rig

Check total connected length, road width, turn radius, height limits and whether slides fit inside the designated pad.

02

Confirm seasonal access

Mountain, coastal and northern campgrounds may have limited seasons, weather closures or utility shutoffs.

03

Read the hookup details

“Electric” can mean 20, 30 or 50 amp. “Full hookup” should be verified for the specific site, not only the park.

04

Keep a backup stop

Save one alternate campground or overnight option along the route in case weather, traffic or mechanical delays change arrival time.
