When people say they want to “visit Los Angeles” I realize most don't quite understand what they want to get out of it, and end up disappointed stuck in traffic trying to go from hiking the Hollywood sign in the morning to Malibu for dinner (don't do this!). There is SO much to see and experience, and LA is it's HUGE. If you're not from here, it's easy to get overwhelmed, because “visiting LA” could mean anywhere between Santa Barbara and Manhattan Beach. Some recommend picking one area and staying to enjoy all the pockets of unique neighborhoods, but if you're new to the area, chances are you want to explore. You can see a lot of it with some planning (which, yes, typically revolves around the traffic). As an LA local, I've put together an itinerary that gives you the best of both worlds, where I've taken my friends and family when they visit. It's a mix of city, nature, local faves and iconic must-sees. Pick and choose from this itinerary, that includes that majestic Channel Islands, Santa Monica, Venice, Hollywood, and Malibu. Prepare for a weekend that’s equal parts coastal escape and urban excitement, crafted perfectly for you.Please note, some of my links contain affiliate links, meaning if you click on it and make a purchase through it, I receive a commission at no extra cost to you.

After helping hundreds of families plan safer RV trips, I've learned which safety gear actually matters and which factory equipment needs upgrading immediately. Most RVs come with bare-minimum safety items that won't protect you in real emergencies. This list covers fire safety, tire monitoring, gas detection, electrical protection, and roadside essentials that give you peace of mind on the road. Whether you're renting your first RV, just bought a used trailer, or upgrading your rig after years of travel, these are the non-negotiables. I've tested these products ourselves and wouldn't hit the road without them. Your family's safety is worth the investment. Start here.
RVP lists may contain affiliate links that could earn RVP a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you. This will allow RVP to continue its support of the RV community.
