RV with hairy kids, go on road trip.

20/kloc-set off from Beijing at the end of 0/9 and start a one-month tour of Yunguichuan RV in go on road trip ~

Many friends asked about the details of RV driving, the precautions for driving with pets, and which scenic spots can bring pets. ......

Later, I will tell you in detail the wonderful stories of the journey, the interesting and loving people I met, and how we three girls overcame many difficulties and walked 9476 kilometers with a dog, a cat and a hedgehog!

Li Duoduo (four-year-old, warm, lovely, white and fat, 60 kg Samoyed)

Super (bold and cold bag cat)

Lu (a cute little African hedgehog)

Three girls who love life, like making changes, like go on road trip.

I watched it for a long time before this trip. Because of the large population (three people+three cars), long time and a lot of luggage, I have been looking for a suitable car. When we arrived at the RV base and saw its pattern and function, we fell!

Every time I see an RV on the road, I can't help it.

This time, it was a dream of an RV. For me, this is a romantic home with wheels.

Usually I like to stay at home, Doby cats and dogs, water flowers, listen to music, cook and read books. If you go out to play, you can go to the ends of the earth and keep your home romantic and convenient.

The space and function of the RV can fully meet my needs:

Four beds for five people, six seats, separate bathroom with shower, small kitchen with refrigerator, sink and induction cooker, entertainment system for watching plays, multiple storage spaces and viewing windows connecting with the outside world.

By the way, recall how we used to travel by suv.

Before contacting the RV, there should be many friends who, like me, think that the threshold of the RV is too high. I must announce loudly to the world that we think too much!

1. The cost is not high: I thought I had to save enough money to buy a car, but now I know that the RV rental business can help us realize our dreams quickly! And the rent of the RV is not high. You can get a big discount at half price when you have activities! It's really cost-effective for several people to share equally, and it also saves accommodation!

2.C can drive: Although the RV is very big, it only needs a C driver's license, so as long as you can drive and have an ordinary driver's license, you can drive the RV;

3. Girls can also drive: this time, all three of us are girls, driving more than 9,000 kilometers, and one of us is a novice driver, who can hold on. It feels good to think about it! Ignorant and fearless spirit, driving a 3.5-ton RV for the first time, I am still very nervous.

I really regret contacting the RV, and I regret not contacting earlier!

Taking three hairy children to drive an RV for a month and driving by car is a big project! We all made these preparations before we left ~

The main destination this time is Yunnan. I have been there many times before, and I like the beautiful scenery there very much. I want to go in winter. First, it's warmer. Second, I want to take the little ones to experience the local scenery for the first time.

From Beijing to Yunnan and then back to Beijing, don't go back. Check out some interesting places along the way to bring pets in advance. Guizhou is a special stop. I have seen a documentary about dogs before, introducing two small towns with special dog culture.

Therefore, our general route is: Beijing-Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi-Hukou Waterfall-xi 'an Bell Tower in Shaanxi-Bipenggou in Sichuan-Dianchi Lake in Kunming, Yunnan-Tengchong Volcano Geopark-Shuangjing in Gaozhuang, Xishuangbanna-Wangtianshu in Xishuangbanna-Xiasiquan Town in Guizhou-Dog Yao in Guizhou-Zhangjiajie in Hunan-and return to Beijing.

How many kilometers do you plan to walk every day, but it's just a rough idea. There are many uncertainties in the trip, so you can reserve some buffer time. In the actual trip, I changed some places and gave up some scenic spots.

This is a huge workload, because there are many things for girls themselves and many things for children. Besides, there are too many things to take when traveling for a month. In order not to miss anything, I drew a mind map and prepared it according to the "basic necessities" of people and children.

Baggage of shovel carrier:

Dangdang, this trip will go through four seasons, so bring all the beautiful clothes you like!

Long-haired children's luggage:

I feel more than I do.

I also prepared some medical supplies and food.

Besides eating and drinking Lazarus every day, here are the most important things I think:

Focus on:

① Pet Locator: If you are away from home for a long time, once there is an accident that the hairy child can't run away, the locator can locate the pet with one button to speed up the search efficiency.

② Pet seat belt-the lifeline in the car.

Prevent long-haired children from running around: the RV has a large space, and long-haired children generally run around inside, so they must be fixed with seat belts when driving;

Prevent being thrown away on the way: every car owner has a seat belt when driving, and most shovel officers have no awareness of wearing a seat belt for their pets; Take precautions and protect children in sudden traffic accidents.

3 Disinfection and deodorization spray: pets will have some peculiar smell, so in the small space of the RV, they must be cleaned and deodorized every day.

(4) Although I have prepared the documents related to dog immunization every time, it seems that I haven't checked them, so I still take precautions.

Some digital devices:

I'm going to the RV rental center to get the RV today. I'm a little excited!

I almost got so excited that I forgot to bring the necessary information for renting a car. The driver himself must:

① Original driver's license

C is ok! More than 3 years driving experience is required.

② Original ID card

Second generation ID card or passport

③ Credit card

Credit card with a limit exceeding 10000 yuan.

We took a taxi to Fangshan's RV rental center, and the little classmates who docked with us laughed like a spring breeze. Car rental procedures are particularly fast. It takes less than five minutes to hand in the information (ID card, driver's license), fill in the form and brush the deposit.

There are thousands of roads, and safety comes first. After choosing our RV, it was followed by a half-hour RV safety training. Xiao Zhi immediately turned into a rigorous academic teacher and took us to the car to train the function and usage of the RV:

RV size:

Our model is 20 18-RV80C RV with 6 seats and 5 bedrooms!

The car is about 3.2 meters high, 2.3 meters wide and 6 meters long. What a big guy! Be sure to pay attention to the height limit! Height limit! Height limit! Pay attention to crossing overpasses and height limiting poles. Besides, you can't go to all the underground garages! (It's too difficult to drive)

Cockpit:

The cockpit is similar to an ordinary car, with automatic gear and manual gear, but there is no P gear and only N gear. When parking, pull the N hand brake. At the beginning, support the formula taught by the teacher, put N gear-brake-ignition.

Driving on the road:

Everyone (including cats and dogs) needs to wear a seat belt when the RV is driving!

Don't think that you can lie in bed, cook and walk while driving just because the RV has a large space. These can only be done when parking.

During driving, except the cockpit window, other side windows, bathroom windows and skylights need to be closed.

The car is bigger and starts slowly. Leave enough turning space and keep the distance between cars.

Awning:

The awning is the most anticipated design. Be sure to go to the RV camp and eat hot pot under the awning! The operation method is waiting for you to explore it yourself!

Just find a graphic printing agency to do it. Publish on the same day and get it the next day! It's just a little expensive, because it's too big, and it took a lot of effort to bargain with the boss, and finally it cost more than 800 yuan (heart ached), but considering that the car sticker can accompany us for a month and there are envious eyes on the road at any time, we think it's still worth it (it's really a vanity shovel hall)

We wanted to operate the car stickers ourselves, but when we really stood in front of the RV, we were scared ... because the car stickers were too big and the RV was too high, we girls couldn't handle it at all.

Enthusiastically praised the teacher of the RV rental center, and he also called the staff to help us post it.

Boys are still struggling to stand on the ladder, so we can only help, do some manual work and pass on materials.

Ps: There is a spray. Spray it before pasting, and leave no glue when peeling.

At this point, Li Duoduo has been sitting in the warm cockpit to supervise. ......

I didn't expect them to post so professionally and with such good skills! Teacher Zhi laughed and said that he had been a professional filmmaker for 30 years. I think I'm starting to believe it. ...

In the cold wind, the car sticker tossed back and forth for almost two hours.

Thank you very much to the teacher in the RV rental center. Out of five stars, we play 100 stars! If Teacher Zhi doesn't have a girlfriend, we'd like to introduce her to one.

A happy and knowledgeable day, after learning the safety knowledge and repairing the car sticker, it was getting late, and we drove home in an oversized RV with trepidation!

We didn't set off immediately the next day when we mentioned the RV, because loading the car was really a super big project.

There are too many luggage. There are five big boxes and small boxes, and the scattered small suits are all in the shopping cart. It takes 7-8 cars to push them.

It took nearly 4 hours to load the luggage, but it was refreshing after loading, and all the items were neatly placed in the right place. The RV that was originally full of things has taken on a new look!

We went to Baipu Temple around Beijing, where there is a famous "Car Temple". It is said that motorcyclists and many friends from go on road trip will go to worship before leaving.

Baipu Temple is located in a village in the mountainous area of Mentougou in Beijing. The mountain road takes nearly 2 hours to get there.

We went in for a walk, which was really spectacular. No wonder it has become a new punching place for Beijing Net Red.

In winter in Beijing, it gets dark quickly. Before we set off, our RV took a photo in front of the Che Temple. Thank you for keeping us safe throughout the journey.

On the first day of the trip, we set off at dawn!

Driving such a big car will make you feel uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to it when you drive it. The official suggested that the safe speed should be controlled within 100. After driving for more than 2 hours, we decided to have a rest in the service area. When we were driving into the parking space in the service area, we heard a bang on the roof and suddenly remembered the teacher's emphasis on "Pay attention to the height limit!" , ah! I forgot, according to my usual habit, I drove directly into the parking area of the bus and hit the 2.8-meter height limit pole. Fortunately, the height limiting rod is movable and the collision is not serious. We're done, and we're off again!

The three of us had a lingering fear and a little remorse. We thought it was not a good start, but when we thought about it later, it was not bad either. A small problem appeared on the first day, reminding us not to take it lightly, and let us pay more attention to safety in the future.

After driving nearly 600 kilometers, it got dark early in winter, and we stopped at Pingyao ancient city, hungry and tired.

I inquired about the most popular restaurant in the ancient city, and I can also take my dog to the phone for consultation, so I went straight to the restaurant. The restaurant is in the ancient city and the car is parked in the parking lot of the visitor center. After getting off the bus, take a bus to Chedukou and enter the ancient city.

There are not many people in the ancient city. Passing by a light show of "Look at Pingyao again", the enthusiastic staff actually took the initiative to tell us that we could go in and have a look, because it was almost over and would not accept our tickets. There are still about 10 minutes before the end, which is quite shocking.

Go straight to the restaurant for dinner. This restaurant has local characteristics. Diners and waiters are very friendly and tolerant. We all laughed when we looked at the dog. Some waiters even come to see a lot. Dinner was great, too 2-3 people's meals are innocent. They ate all the local specialties (check which ones), and the boss specially sent us an oil tea soup. The only thing they are not used to is drinking vinegar as a drink. At first they thought it was apple vinegar, but after drinking it, they found it was really vinegar! ! ! The concentration is similar to that of vinegar used in cooking.

After dinner, I strolled back to the car and passed several shops to let the dog in. I have a very good impression here, an ancient city with a history. I feel that everyone is carefully maintaining the culture here and is very friendly to tourists and pets, which has drawn a satisfactory end for our first day's trip.

Today is the first day to spend the night in the RV. Dodo and Qian Chao have been reluctant to sleep, sitting in the passenger seat together, cuddling up and looking out of the window. Haha, the little guys are also full of expectations and longings for this trip.

Let's start at dawn! Although I am sleepy, the earlier I leave, the more time I spend at the scenic spots. Today's destination is hukou Waterfall. Hukou Waterfall is very interesting. One side of the Yellow River is Shaanxi and the other side is Shanxi.

Check in advance, only from the entrance of the scenic spot here in Jixian County, Linfen, Shanxi Province, can you bring a dog! If you take your dog to play, be sure to pay attention to the entrance.

After driving about 270 kilometers, we were hungry and arrived near the scenic spot. There are many farmhouse meals along the road near the scenic spot. We checked a very popular restaurant, which was delicious and cost-effective, and the boss's service was great. This restaurant is highly recommended. We went there again in the evening, and we will give you a detailed introduction later.

I also added some energy to the children, so I set off for the scenic spot with a lot of money and banknotes! Scenic spot tickets 120 yuan/person (including shuttle bus). Dogs are allowed to enter the scenic spot, but large and medium-sized dogs on the car ferry can't sit with their owners, only in the luggage compartment. I feel particularly distressed when I see many people squeezing into the luggage compartment. After the communication with the staff failed, I almost wanted to give up, but I still walked all the way. I checked, the suitcase is very big, and there is no luggage. It's only a few minutes away, so I want to try it more. Li Duoduo is really a dog who has seen the world and can bend and stretch. It doesn't seem to care. It jumped up and down, arrived at its destination in a few minutes, got off the bus again, and then went to play.

There is still a little distance from the best viewing point when you get off the bus. On the way, we met many grandfathers dressed in Shanxi's special clothes, each holding a donkey for tourists to take pictures. At this time, Li Duoduo couldn't bear it. He never saw a donkey, barked at it, and even wanted to rush to fight. The Yellow River is full of potholes, and he feels that he is falling apart.

Finally arrived at the best scenic spot. I usually only watch it on TV, but I have to admire what I saw with my own eyes. Really shocking! I remembered the song The Yellow River Cantata. If I start playing music at this time, I think I will be moved to tears.

Walking around the waterfall with a lot of money and banknotes to take pictures, everyone looked at us with curious and friendly eyes, and people who like hairy children would come and touch us.

We are in Shanxi, across the river is Shaanxi, and we can also see tourists from the opposite scenic spot. It's really interesting.

If it weren't for the cold weather, I think I could sit by the river all day. Li Duoduo will probably quarrel with the little black man of the Yellow River for a day, and we plan to go back when the sun goes down.

In the evening, I decided to stay around here. After discussion, I parked my RV in front of the restaurant at noon. The boss is really nice. He not only provided us with an RV to charge, but also specially found an empty room and turned on the heating and water heater to facilitate our washing.

The food here is also very local. All fresh ingredients from the Yellow River. The boss also sent big apples for free and made fish head soup. If I go here in the future, I strongly recommend coming here-Yangji Miscellaneous Grains Fish House.

After washing, go back to the RV to sort out the materials for the day. Meow has been playing by the computer at night. The dining table of the RV can be used not only as a desk, but also as a bed at night. In a trance, I feel at home. # Take it home and start for the better #
