After researching around I discussed with my husband that we should give it a try and travel with our minivan. We see all the time people that actually live in those. Not that we are trying to take that "not so for everyone" step but I figured that traveling and camping in our minivan would beat the cost of travel fare, such as airlines and hotel cost.
We have already planned for this summer to take our camping tent, minivan and 3 kids and explore the outdoors. Not the woods or anything but a nice family friendly campground. Our plan include attaching a good quality icebox to our trunk, taking our camping gear, propane stove bbq ( Make sure to do your cooking in a well ventilated area) Meanwhile stock your icebox with fruits and sandwich along with other food and snacks that wont spoil easily. We will also add storage under the seats of our minivan and get a inverter for our cigarette lighter so we can watch a movie in our portable dvd/ charge cell phones and whatever else life throws in our way.
If you are gonna try the same with your family I suggest researching for a campground that offers, showers, bathrooms, water, sewer and electricity so your family doesnt feel deprivated of those while you are away. Start slow with a long weekend in case things dont go quite as you expect. The campground we are heading off to charges $30 a day for a spot that fits a camper and a tent. We will be parking our minivan and setting up the tent we have. That beats any hotel deal and we will be staying across the street from beach. Make sure to take lots of blankets for cushion in the tent and in case it get cold at night. And entertainment for the kids while they are in the car and once they get over there.
Good luck with your outings... Xoxo
