Taking a road trip in an RV is just about one of the best experiences you can have. You might want to buy or rent an RV, so here is some sage advice for your trip.
1. RV For Two As strange as it sounds, it is important to use common sense when renting or buying an RV. Specifically, how many people do you foresee using it? If the number is five, get an RV that can handle that number comfortably!
2. RVs and Wind Warnings If wind warnings are being given for an area you are in, do not disregard them. The sides of your vehicle are big flat spaces and the wind will hit them will all their power. Crashing isnt worth it.
3. RV Drivers License For years, advocates have proposed the idea of requiring special drivers licenses for people driving RVs. As of January 2007, no such requirement exists nor is any legislation pending.
4. RV Travel Trailers RV Travel Trailers are essentially a motorhome without the engine. They have all the amenities of an RV, but are towed behind your truck. Prices range from $6,000 to $80,000 depending on what you want.
5. Mexico Parking Lots If you are cruising Mexico, leaving your RV in a lot can be risky. Make sure to tip the person controlling the lot a few dollars. Doing so usually prevents problems.
6. RV Clearance and Bridges Before you get out on the road, know the clearance of your RV. This particularly true if you rent. Convertible RVs are not very popular.
7. Rest Stop Sleeping For some reason, rest stops tend to attract strange people. If possible, try to avoid sleeping at them. If nothing else, you will not get much rest.
8. Considering Storage of Your RV Before you buy an RV, one of the big issues you have to address is where are you going to park it when not using it. Storage of your RV can be more difficult than you think, so get it worked out ahead of time.
9. RV Purchase Budget If you have enough money to buy an RV, you already know about handling money. In this case, you need to set an RV purchase budget. Know what you can spend and stick to it! Dont overspend because you fall in love with a model.
10. RVs in Big Cities In general, you should avoid trying to drive in big cities, particularly in congested areas such as downtown. Use your common sense. Do you really think a 30 footer is going to do well?
An RV is a great investment in a good time. What other option do you have for just spontaneously jumping in and going? Yep, you can do it in a car, but man it gets crowded and uncomfortable.
