Xscapers Halloween Convergence 2023
Photo by Brandon Hatcher
Holidays are coming up!
Before you know it, Halloween will be here then the other autumn and winter holidays will be sneaking up on us soon after.
So, what's it like celebrating holidays in an RV? It can be as fun as you make it!
Many Escapees travel in their RV to see relatives for the holidays. Others get together with their Escapees family to share the fun and food wherever they decide to celebrate.
Plan to dress up for Halloween? 🎃 We're sure there are other Escapees willing to join you for some fun Halloween shenanigans! Don't have an RV oven big enough for a Thanksgiving turkey? 🍗 There's usually another SKP who can grill it up.
No matter how, when, or where you celebrate the holidays, we hope you have a wonderful time. Be sure to check out the upcoming events we have planned for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025!
Happy travels, Escapees!

RV Mattress Sizes Explained: Rest Easy With This RV Mattress Guide
When you live in your RV full-time or travel long distances in your RV, you’ll want to have a good mattress so you can get a good night’s sleep. RVers replace their mattresses for a variety of reasons. Some swap out a used RV’s mattress for new and others are simply replacing a worn out or uncomfortable mattress.
There are companies that can set you up with a new RV mattress when you decide to replace yours. You simply need to know the size of the space the new mattress will fit into. However, RV mattress sizes differ from mattresses you’d have in a house.
In this article, we’ll explain all the RV mattress sizes so you can decide which will work best in your RV.
