brakes, springs, etc.) on the heavier side
could be overloaded, even though the total
axle load is within the GAWR. It is important
to redistribute the load to avoid component
failure, improve the handling characteristics of

RIP
After familiarizing yourself with the RV,
including going through test runs on the
systems and having the RV weighed, it is time
to take one or two short trips. The experience
gained can be priceless.
We recommend an overnight stay at a nearby
campground. That way it is more convenient if
you need to go back to get an item you forgot
or didn't know you would need. Otherwise,
you may end up spending time or money
needlessly by bringing along unused items
that take up space or trying to locate and
purchase items you hadn't counted on
needing prior to leaving your home on an
extended trip in unfamiliar territory.
Not all RVers will need the same equipment
or supplies. For example, individual needs
and personal tastes differ, as does the
various climates and terrains you will be
traveling through with your RV.
Remember if most of your trips are planned
for the summer and your shake down trip is
made during some other season, there will be
adjustments that you will need to take into
consideration.
Be sure to have a pen and notebook available
to write down items that you feel may be
needed in future travels, as well as noting the
equipment you feel you need to become more
comfortable using or learning how to operate
safely.
RV Departure Checklist
Following is a preliminary list of items that
need to be checked on your RV before
leaving your home or campsite. As you camp,
you may want to develop your own list
tailored to your individual camping style in
addition to the checklist provided:
Check the area under the RV after
overnight parking and look for water or
other fluid leaks. If leaks are detected, find
the cause and have it repaired
immediately.
Have someone observe the operation of
all exterior lights while you activate the
controls.
Check wheel lug nuts for tightness and
tires for proper air inflation pressure.
Examine the tires for excessive tread
wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for
stones, nails, glass or other objects
lodged in the tread. Inspect for tread cuts
or sidewall cracks.
Check the propane cylinder gauge to
make sure there is propane available.
Retract any awning(s) and secure them
for transport.
Close all the roof vents.
If so equipped, disconnect any cable TV
or phone hookups and lower the TV
antenna.
Turn off the interior lights and appliances.
Secure any loose, heavy or sharp objects
in the RV or exterior compartments.
Disconnect the shore line power cord and
ensure it is stored correctly.
Fasten all interior and exterior doors
securely. Lock them (if applicable).
Make sure the stabilizer jacks and entry
step are retracted to the travel position.
Make sure the tongue jack (travel trailer)
is retracted to the travel position and the
dolly wheel removed.
Walk around your RV one last time to
make sure everything is stored away and
