TRAVEL TIPS
As you travel around the country in your
motor home, you will pick up useful advice from
other motor home owners.
A number of suggestions can also be obtained
by reading articles and regular columns in out-
door and camping magazines. Some magazines
and publishing companies print an annual park
and campground directory. These can be found
at your local news stand or RV supply dealer.
Here are a few travel tips to begin with.
1. Always check for sufficient clearance. Know
the height and width of your unit.
2. Always fill the fresh water tank at an ap-
proved potable water filling facility or a
known purified drinking water source. Taste
the water before filling the water tank in an
unfamiliar location. The water in some areas
may contain an undesirable taste. Do not use
a new hose to fill the water tank. It can leave
a distinct rubber or vinyl taste.
3. Showers can take a lot of water. Conserve
water by taking a “Sea Shower”. This is done
by wetting down, turning off the water, soap-
ing thoroughly and then rinsing.
4. Dump sewage only at approved dumping sta-
tions.
5. Store liquids in plastic containers with tight
fitting caps to prevent spills.
6. Keep an eye on the water and holding tank
levels. It is a good idea to dump the holding
tank at least every two days.
7. When traveling with children, it is helpful to
plan their wardrobe for a week. Place each
days clothing in a plastic bag and label the
bag with the child’s name and day of the
week for use.
8. Use sleeping bags whenever possible. They
save laundry and take up less storage space
than bedding.
9. Make sure all compartment doors have been
closed and the door step has been stowed in
the correct position before moving the vehi-
cle.
10. Before traveling, make sure the refrigerator
door has been secured. Use care when open-
ing the refrigerator door after the vehicle has
been stopped. Any articles that have shifted
may fall out when the door is opened.
11. During peak tourist season and holidays, it is
best to phone ahead and make reservations at
the park where you plan to stop.
12. Some states or cities will not permit vehicles
with LP gas containers to pass through high-
way tunnels. If your route includes a tunnel,
check with the highway patrol or department
of highways to avoid inconvenience.
13. Do not leave food or odor-causing material in
your vehicle for extensive periods of time.
Always allow damp clothing, swimwear,
hunting gear, etc., to dry before stowing.
14. Become familiar with the fire extinguisher
and make sure it is always fully charged. Re-
move and replace it and read instructions so
you know the correct operating procedure be-
fore an emergency happens
15. Make a list of all groceries, fresh meats, veg-
etables, newspapers, etc., that you may need
and try to pick them up during your last fuel
stop of the day. This will prevent leaving a
good parking spot once you have arrived at
your destination.
16. When you sit over the front wheels while
driving, as in a motor home, you have a ten-
dency to crowd the middle of the road. Check
the side view mirror frequently to observe
how close you are driving to the center line.
