Sage RV Advice

By Az Right | February 1, 2010

Taking a road trip in an RV is just about one of the best experiences you can have. You might want to buy or rent an RV, so here is some sage advice for your trip.

1. RV For Two ” As strange as it sounds, it is important to use common sense when renting or buying an RV. Specifically, how many people do you foresee using it? If the number is five, get an RV that can handle that number comfortably!

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. Bad RV Campgrounds ” Most parks and campgrounds are excellent places to spend the night if they are designated for motor homes. That being said, there are some that are home to lowlifes. Don’t hesitate to leave these. The fee you pay isn’t worth it.

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. Mexico Parking Lots ” If you are cruising Mexico, leaving your RV in a lot can be risky. Make sure to tip the person controlling the lot a few dollars. Doing so usually prevents problems.

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. Considering Storage of Your RV ” Before you buy an RV, one of the big issues you have to address is where are you going to park it when not using it. Storage of your RV can be more difficult than you think, so get it worked out ahead of time.

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. Overheating RV Brakes ” Take care not to ride your breaks. If you overheat them, they can fail. Avoid rush hour traffic if possible. If you are stuck in it, consider pulling over till it thins out.

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!
