Suggestions For RVing

In many ways, a RV is much more like a moving house than it is a big car. If you are considering the investment in one, there is much you should probably know. If you are just renting, the same is true.

1. Securing Your RV – If you are going to be leaving your RV to go exploring, make sure you secure all the entries. Most people do this for windows and such, but remember any openings on the roof.

2. RV Rush Hour Driving – You may be tempted to keep trucking along even if you are a big city during rush hour. I highly advise against this. Frustrated drivers can be vicious. You will also put a lot of wear and tear on your RV.

3. Bad RV Campgrounds – Most parks and campgrounds are excellent places to spend the night if they are designated for motor homes. That being said, there are some that are home to lowlifes. Don’t hesitate to leave these. The fee you pay isn’t worth it.

4. RV Travel Trailers – RV Travel Trailers are essentially a motorhome without the engine. They have all the amenities of an RV, but are towed behind your truck. Prices range from $6,000 to $80,000 depending on what you want.

5. Spare Tire Problems – Every RV should have a mounted spare tire. Check it before you go on trips. If it is exposed to the sun, it can over inflate and crack as it heats up and cools off.

6. RV Clearance and Bridges – Before you get out on the road, know the clearance of your RV. This particularly true if you rent. Convertible RVs are not very popular.

7. The RV Lane – The best lane to pick on a freeway is typically the one next to the slow lane. Use this lane and you can avoid dealing with people coming on and off the freeway.

8. RV Internet Shopping – Before you ever go to a dealer, you should go RV internet shopping. Look at the various models and prices to figure out what you like and can afford without suffering under the pressure of a salesman.

9. Class A Motorhome Prices – Class A motorhomes are the top of the market luxury vehicles. That being said, you are going to pay for the luxury. Minimum prices start around $100,000 and go up to whatever you can spend.

10. RV Braking Distance – If you are renting an RV, you need to adjust your assumptions. An RV does not break like a car because it is much heavier. Stay back from vehicles in front of you so there is plenty of room to come to a stop.

The world is full of nice, paved roads. For a person with a RV, this makes it your oyster. Get out there and eat to your heart’s content!
