5 things to do in a campervan on a rainy day

A rainy day can turn a campervan adventure into a memorable experience if you're well prepared. Here are a few ideas for a fun and productive day, even when the weather's not cooperating. 

1. Cooking comfortable meals 

There's nothing like a hot meal to warm up a rainy day. Take advantage of your mobile kitchen to prepare comfort foods like homemade soup, chili or even cookies. It's also a great time to try out local Canadian recipes.

 2. Playing board games and cards 

Board games and cards are perfect for rainy days. Pack a few games like chess, checkers, or card games like Uno. They're perfect for passing the time and strengthening bonds with your fellow travelers. 

What's more, these games don't require an Internet connection, which is ideal for remote locations. What's more, the resulting laughter and friendly competition can create unforgettable memories and make any stay more enjoyable !

3. Read and write 

Take advantage of this time to immerse yourself in a good book or to write. Whether it's a travel diary, personal thoughts, or even starting that novel you've always wanted to write, a rainy day offers an excellent opportunity for reflection and creativity. The calm atmosphere and soothing sound of rain can stimulate inspiration and allow you to concentrate fully on your writing. If you love to read, it's the perfect time to discover new stories!

4.Watching films and series in your campervan 

If your campervan is equipped with a screen and a DVD player or an Internet connection, watch movies or series. It's a great way to relax and get away from it all, even when you're cooped up indoors in the rain. Make sure you have a good selection of downloaded movies if you don't have a stable connection
