Campfire Blog #4| Before You Take Off

Are you ready to hit the road and embark on an unforgettable vacation in your RV? Before you take off, make sure you have everything in order to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey. Here are some essential things to do before you start your adventure:

Is Your RV Ready to Roll?

Check the tire pressure on both your RV and the tow vehicle. Proper tire pressure is crucial for a safe and efficient journey. Adjust the pressure as needed to ensure optimal performance on the road.

Secure and Store

Disconnect any cables or hoses and securely store them in designated compartments. This will prevent any damage during transit and keep your RV organized and clutter-free.

Safety First

Ensure that the brakes are in good working condition. Your safety and the safety of others on the road depend on reliable brakes. Take the time to inspect and test them before you start your journey.

Fluid Check

Inspect the fluid levels in your RV, including oil, coolant, and windshield washer fluid. Topping off the fluids as needed will help keep your RV running smoothly throughout your trip.

Light It Up

Test all brake lights, turn signals, and headlights to ensure they are functioning properly. Proper lighting is essential for safe RV travel, especially during nighttime or inclement weather.

Power Down

Before you hit the road, remember to turn off the gas supply and all appliances, both gas-powered and electric. This will prevent any accidents or malfunctions while you are away from your RV.

Keep It Cool

Arrange items in the fridge in a stable manner to prevent spills during travel. Once everything is secure, close and lock the fridge to avoid any surprises when you reach your destination.

Lock It Up

Close and lock all cabinets, doors, and drawers in your RV. This will prevent items from shifting or falling out while you are on the road, keeping your RV organized and tidy.

Final Checks

Before you drive off, double-check that all pilot lights are turned off and secure all loose items in your RV. Additionally, close vents and windows to prevent any unwanted debris from entering your RV during transit.

By following these essential steps before you embark on your vacation, you can ensure a safe, enjoyable, and stress-free journey in your RV.
