After
familiarizing
yourself
including going through test runs on the
systems and having the RV weighed, it is time
to take one or two short trips. The experience
gained can be priceless. We recommend an
overnight stay at a nearby campground. That
way it is more convenient if you need to go
back to get an item you forgot or didn't know
you would need. Otherwise, you may end up
spending time or money needlessly by bringing
along unused items that take up space or trying
to locate and purchase items you hadn't
counted on needing prior to leaving your home
on an extended trip in unfamiliar territory.
Not all RVers will need the same equipment or
supplies. For example, individual needs and
personal tastes differ, as does the various
climates and terrains you will be traveling
through with your RV. Remember if most of
your trips are planned for the summer and your
shake down trip is made during some other
season, there will be adjustments that you will
need to take into consideration.
Be sure to have a pen and notebook available
to write down items that you feel may be
needed in future travels, as well as noting the
equipment you feel you need to become more
comfortable using or learning how to operate
safely.
