7. Ensure LP Gas and smoke detectors are unobstructed and in

11. Defense driving: An RV cannot stop quickly, it cannot
accelerate quickly and it cannot turn on swerve quickly. When
someone pulls into the
large gap between you and the vehicle
ahead slow down to once more increase the distance. Watch
further ahead that you are used to.
12. Minor usage: Learn to use them and use them constantly .
RV's have very large blind spots , where other vehicles can't
be seen. Watch for traffic coming from behind that gets too
close to be seen and then holds that position. When changing
lanes, use the mirrors , turn on the turn signals early, and
slowly change lanes .
13. Braking: Stopping an RV requires time and space, so keep
a safe distance between your vehicle and others on the road.
14. Steep hills: These vehicles are not known for power or hill
climbing ability. They will overheat on long steep hills; the
solution is to slow down, change to a lower gear and watch
the temperature gauge . Downhill slope presents another
challenge to the brakes , which can easily overheat and fail ,
slow down and change to a lower gear. Watch for trucks or
other RV's, if they are slow going downhill, ou should be, too.
15. Road placement: Keep your RV in the center of your lane.
The RV is wider than a normal vehicle, you may want to keep
to the right , but keeping it in the center of the lane is ideal.
16. Turning: A long, wide vehicle requires extended, wide turns.
Right turns are particularly tricky because they put you next
to the curb and does require
extra space to turn. Go further
before starting the turn , leaving room for the rear of the
vehicle to turn and stay on the road. Keep an eye on the rear,
use the mirrors and stay close to the center lane and avoid
accidents.
17. Parking: Having a person to help direct you and the RV
into parking spots is a very good system to use if you're not
comfortable. If you're towing , remember that backing up turns
the trailer in the opposite direction of the steering wheel. Find the
easier and most comfortable spot to park to avoid accidents.
TRAVEL TIPS
As you travel with your RV, you will learn a lot from your
own experiences . It is important to share your experiences with
other RV owners and learn from their experiences too.
Read RV, outdoor and camping magazines for camping and
travel tips. The following are some basic suggestions which
may also make your travel and camping experience easier and
more enjoyable:
1. Make sure refrigerator and cabinets doors are closed securely .
Carefully open these doors after traveling. Contents may have
shifted while traveling and may fall when you open the door.
2. It is important to know the height and width of your RV,
to take into consideration when passing through bridges and
tunnels.
3. Use your mirrors while driving to determine whether you are
crowding the center line or the outside edge of the highway.
Remember, your RV requires a much different driving style
than normal vehicles.
4. When towing a vehicle, make sure the combined weight of
the towed vehicle does not exceed the GCWR as stated on the
vehicle certification label located on the passenger door frame.
5. Check the routes that you will travel in carefully before
you travel. Some jurisdictions prohibit vehicles with LP Gas
containers to drive through highway tunnels .
6. Fill your water tank with clean, fresh potable water only. Do
not use a new hose to fill the tank- it may leave a taste of
rubber or vinyl.
7. Conserve water, especially when showering . The holding
tanks have a limited capacity.
8. Dump sewage only at approved dumping sites.
9. Store all liquids in plastic containers with light seals .
10. Watch the levels in your holding tanks at all times. Dump
regularly to avoid unnecessary buildup and potential odor.
After dumping, add water to the black water tank to prevent
solids from settling in the tank. Without adequate liquid in
the black water tank, dumping can be difficult or impossible. It
is important to dump the black tank
first then the gray tank to
wash away all waste and impurities left.
On vehicles, it is suggested that you stay at least 2 seconds behind
on a regular vehicle, so in an RV, you might want to make that a 5-10
second rule. Tip: When the car in front of you passes a fixed object on
the side of the road (electric pole or bridge), begin to count to ten and
that's as far back as you should drive.
