RV Tips For A Better Trip

Rving is a great way to see these beautiful United States. Maybe you only use your RV part-time or, if you are like millions of American, you live a full-time RV lifestyle. Whichever the case here are some simple tips to make your next RV trip a little easier.

Tip #1 Traveling in an RV is about enjoying the US countryside and what it has to offer. So, don’t travel more than about six hour a day. Most RV Parks close their office around 5pm each day. Try to check in at your destination, RV Resort Park, before 4pm. Also, this will allow you to setup your camp site while it is still daylight.

Tip #2 Make sure you carry a well equipped tool box when you travel. Minor repairs are just a part of Rving, so be prepared.

Tip #3 Modern technology is great and a GPS unit can be helpful, but sometimes the best tools are the simplest. So, don’t forget to bring a compass.

Tip #4 Plan your trip so that you don’t have to drive during rush hour traffic. Stop and have breakfast during morning rush hour and try to be off the road long before the going home traffic starts.

Tip #5 Keep driver fatigue to a minimum, share the driving duties with all licensed and qualified drivers.

Tip #6 Always carry a roll of quarters for paying the toll on the toll roads you come across.

Tip #7 It’s a good idea to carry a box of disposable gloves for use when hooking up sewer pipes and at dump stations. A box of disposable gloves are inexpensive and very handy.

Tip #8 If you are a fisherman and like to carry your fishing rods with you it’s a good idea to slide the rods into a piece of 2” PVC pipe to protect your fishing rod from getting broken during your travels.

Tip#9 After you have hooked up your RV and you are ready to pull out take just a few minutes and double check your travel trailer hookup or tow bar connections. Remember, its better to be safe than sorry.


These are just a few tips to help make your next RV trip a little better and hopefully safer. Don’t sit around the house. Get out and see everything this country has to offer. I think you will like what you see.
