You and your traveling companions have the option to participate in the hot, new trend of motorhome Class C RVing vacations. Volun-Tourism is a way to travel while giving back. You can take your motorhome Class C on the road and help others by providing volunteer services. This may be one vacation that you do not need another vacation tp recuperate from.

How to begin a motorhome Class C Volun-Tourism adventure

There are many different Volun-Tourism organizations located in the United States and around the world. If this is something that you would like to try with your motorhome Class C, then begin first by discussing causes that complement you and your family or other motorhome Class C traveling companions preferences. Establish a running list for you to take your motorhome Class C and family to participate in. Examples of popular causes range from arts to helping endangered species to feeding the homeless to providing inner city education activities. Begin researching to see what is available for your motorhome Class C trip.

Once you have selected a cause, what happens next?

Contact the selected organization directly and discuss possible volunteer opportunities with them. See if timelines match up and make sure the nonprofit is a legitimate organization. Check up on their mission statement and success rate of working with the particular cause. Ask if they have worked with other motorhome Class C families and Volun-Tourism efforts. Once you approve, begin any necessary application process for you and your RV.

What to expect as a volunteer in your motor home

You need to get specifics for your and your recreational vehicle prior to hitting the road. You will want to know what costs you will be responsible for. It is typical that the RV traveler pay for gas, any additional accommodations, food while traveling, etc. Discuss motorhome parking opportunities so that you will know where your RV will be when you are serving. You want to have safe place for your travel trailer or motor home. Ask about any other support materials from the organization that can help you in your travels.

Financial donations are a way to help, even if you cannot travel

Volunteering is an ideal way to spend a vacation in your new or used motor home. If there is a reason, such as health, that inhibits your opportunities to participate in such a trip, or if you do not have time at the moment, you can also donate financially. Most nonprofits will appreciate and value any dollar amount that you can give.

Jump on the volunteer tourism trend and help others while traveling and seeing the world in your RV. It is up to you to make such a difference.
