Limited storage space and life in an RV doesn\u2019t mean you have to think small when it comes to a Halloween costume while you\u2019re on the road. Make a big impression at the campground Halloween party with a knock-out, last-minute costume.<\/p>\n
Go deep woods, Hollywood, or old school using a few simple props and clothes that are likely in your RV \u2013 or easy and inexpensive to find \u2013 then finish off your costume with a big swath of humor and imagination.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Channel Monty Python and be \u201cOkay\u201d as a lumber jack. Combine a plaid flannel shirt, hiking boots, and jeans with a knit hat. Add suspenders if you have them. Rummage through the camp tools for your hatchet \u2013 or hit the local dollar store for a plastic axe.\u00a0 Complete your look with a few smears of campground dirt and some springs of pine tucked in here and there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Every campground needs a zombie as a reminder of all the trips that have gone awry.\u00a0 A simple layer of white and grey make-up with dark-ringed eyes starts the \u201cWalking Dead\u201d look. Throw on the mismatched clothes scavenged the campground \u201clost and found\u201d bin from the old camp tee shirt to the broken flip flop. Then, add all the killer props that scream \u201cCamping Trip from Hell\u201d from a section of broken sewer hose, to flickering flash-light, snapped tent poles, useless fly swatters, soggy maps, and wet matches.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve seen them: those newbies at the camp ground with everything bright, shiny, and new. Now, be the tourists at the campground. Pull out your mom jeans, black socks and river sandals for the campiest tourist costume ever. Throw some binoculars and cameras around your neck, clip on a compass and GPS, rub on the zinc oxide, carry your bug spray, and wildlife identification cards to complete the look.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For every newbie at the camp ground, there\u2019s a professional with every widget and gadget ever sold.\u00a0 Pull out all your fishing gear \u2013 and borrow some more — and head out for Halloween as the World\u2019s Greatest Fisherman.\u00a0 If a fly-festooned hat, gear-heavy vest, bait bucket, and a collection of rods and reels isn\u2019t enough, stop at the dollar store for a few rubber fish.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pull together a quick costume and be warm and comfortable in the process.\u00a0 An inexpensive, over-sized brown or black, basic sweat suit makes the perfect foundation for a simple bear costume.\u00a0 Cut some simple ears from scraps of felt, foam or fur and draw on some whiskers for a Halloween costume that barely takes any effort.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When the family vacation corresponds with Halloween, celebrate the most misguided vacation family ever: the Griswolds. Dress the family in 1980s style in short-shorts, white sneakers and carry a map to \u201cWally World\u201d to recreate the magic of the National Lampoon series of Vacation movies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fellow RVers will appreciate the homage to the early days of RVing, when you go 50s style in a nod to Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in the 1954 movie, \u201cThe Long, Long Trailer.\u201d Pull together your best 50s style \u2013 and some famous red hair, if you can — and celebrate Halloween as the honeymooners Nicky and Tacy traveling in their 1953 36-foot Redman “New Moon” trailer.<\/p>\n

Get S\u2019more Halloween spirit dressed as every campfire\u2019s best friend:\u00a0 A S\u2019more.\u00a0 If the campground\u2019s general store has just received a shipment, grab a couple cardboard packing boxes.\u00a0 Cut two big rectangles from the boxes. Use a permanent marker to \u00a0score your \u201cgraham crackers\u201d with a dotted line. Attach ribbon, rope or string on the top two sides so the \u201cgraham crackers\u201d can hang over your shoulders.\u00a0 Pull on a brown tee shirt or turtle neck, strap a white pillow to your chest and tummy then top with your cardboard crackers to have the sweetest, and easiest, Halloween costume at the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
