TRAVEL TIPS

As you travel with your motorhome, you will learn a
great deal from your own experiences. Share your
experience with other motorhome owners, and
learn from them as well. Read RV, outdoor, and
camping magazines for camping and travel tips.
• Make sure all compartment, refrigerator, and
freezer doors are closed securely. Carefully
open these doors after travelling: the
contents may have shifted while travelling
and may fall when you open the door.
• Know the height and width of your
motorhome
clearance.
• Use your mirrors while driving to determine
whether you are crowding the center line or
the outside edge of the highway. Remember,
your motorhome requires a much different
driving style than your family car.
• When towing a vehicle, make sure the
combined weight of the towed vehicle does
not exceed the GCWR as stated on the
vehicle certification label located on the
passenger door frame
• Check your route carefully before you travel.
Some jurisdictions prohibit vehicles with LP
gas containers to drive through highway

• Store all liquids in plastic containers with
tight seals.
• Watch the levels in your holding tanks. Dump
regularly to avoid unnecessary buildup and
potential odor. After dumping, add water to
the black water tank to prevent solids from
settling in the tank. Without adequate liquid
in the black water tank, dumping can be
difficult or impossible.
• Be careful not to leave odor-causing food or
materials in your motorhome for extended
periods of time. Make sure wet clothing and
towels are fully dried before storing.
• Make sure your fire extinguisher is ready for
use and that you know how to operate it.
