Tip #1: Practice Driving One Before Buying One
Driving, or
towing, an RV is not the same as driving a car or truck. If you’ve never been
behind the wheel of a large vehicle before, you should test drive one first.
You will be surprised of all the changes you have to make to your own driving
when you are out on the road in a Class A or Class C motorhome. This practice
will also let you know which type of RV you want to purchase and can handle for
long trips.

Tip #2: Make Checklists for Everything
Checklists
are vital to ensure you have everything for your RV trip and that you have
performed the proper maintenance before you leave. Have a checklist for your RV
maintenance, a checklist for camping items, a checklist for purchasing
ingredients for your meals, a checklist for packing clothes, and anything else
that will help you to organize your things.

Tip #3: Don’t Forget Your Hoses
The top
thing that RV beginners forget about or never consider when they go on their
first trip is that they will be carrying their drinking water and wastewater
with them wherever they go. This means, when it is time to empty out the tanks,
they need to have the right type and length of hoses. Carry a white, non-toxic
hose for your drinking water. Purchase a heavy duty sewer hose for your black
water and gray water tanks. Ensure you purchase a 10-foot and 20-foot length of
hose so you can reach the sewer connection at the dump stations.
