Beginner RV Tips

If you’ve recently purchased your first RV you’re likely already making plans to hit the road or a nearby campsite in your new vehicle. However, before you pack up and ship out we recommend checking out our helpful beginner tips below. With our advice in mind, your upcoming RV vacation is sure to be a great one!

Get to Know Your RV

Most modern RVs are complex machines that have multiple interconnected systems and appliances. Getting to know how all of these work is part of being a responsible RV owner. Spend some time with your owner’s manual and experiment with the different systems before you leave so you can be confident you know how to do even simple things like refill the propane, turn on the furnace, fill the RV with water, etc. It’s helpful to keep a simple toolkit in your RV. That way, if something breaks while you’re on the road, you’ll be able to at least attempt to fix it.

Keep Organized

Planning and organization are closely related in RVing because organization allows you to easily implement all of your plans. Organization is also helpful because it helps you make the most out of the limited space you have in an RV. Good organization might involve purchasing organizing products to help divide space more efficiently, and it might also involve putting some time into thinking about the best way to use space. Your energy spent figuring out organizational systems will be rewarded many times over in the amount of energy you would have spent trying to sort through things at the campsite.
