Sage Rv Advice

Sage Rv Advice

By:


Many people think if they know how to drive a car, they know everything the need to handle a motorhome. Whether you buy or rent, there is much you should know in addition to basic car information.

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. RVs and Wind Warnings If wind warnings are being given for an area you are in, do not disregard them. The sides of your vehicle are big flat spaces and the wind will hit them will all their power. Crashing isn't worth it.

3. RV Drivers License For years, advocates have proposed the idea of requiring special drivers licenses for people driving RVs. As of January 2007, no such requirement exists nor is any legislation pending.

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 Storage and Insurance At some point, you will need to store your RV. If you are doing it at a third party location, make sure to look into your insurance. Will it cover theft from a storage facility?

7. Rest Stop Sleeping For some reason, rest stops tend to attract strange people. If possible, try to avoid sleeping at them. If nothing else, you will not get much rest.

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 B Motorhome Prices Class B motorhomes are better known as camper vans. They are essentially vans converted to your living needs. Prices range from $30,000 to $65,000.

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!
