Prudent Motorhome Tips

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. 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. RV Exhaust Brakes – Given the weight of an RV, maintaining your breaks can be costly. One step you can take to reduce the wear and tear is to use RV exhaust brakes when towing extra weight such as a dolly.

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!
