You're Driving a RV.. Not an Automobile
Your RV has been built on a truck chassis. That makes it very different from
your automobile. It is longer, taller, heavier, and doesn't stop on a dime.
Turning and maneuvering your RV will be much more of a challenge, and
we suggest that you take some practice runs in a LARGE, EMPTY parking lot.

Storage Compartments
Your storage compartments allow for valuable storage in a space that may be considerably smaller than you are used to. But a note of caution: some storage compartments are NOT waterproof, so keep that in mind when you are storing
your belongings in them. back to top

Summer Time Care
To protect against dryness, place water in containers throughout your RV. Place
foil in windows. To prevent sun rot, cover the tires.

Tires
The manufacturer's recommended tire pressure is printed directly on your tires. NOTE: THIS IS A FEDERAL LAW.

Water Heaters
When driving or towing your vehicle, it is very important to remember not to use
LP gas water heaters. LP gas water heaters are for parked operation only.
There are engine assisted heaters available in some units that will continue to
heat while you are traveling. Your LP gas water heater will heat very quickly
once you park.

Water Pressure
To prevent damage from high water pressure (any pressure above 50 PSI), a
water pressure regulator must be used. Using higher pressure than designed
can result in damaged lines as well as needless and costly leaks. These are
an inexpensive, simple nozzle attachment.

Winterizing
In fall, you will want to winterize fresh water systems so that the plumbing system does not freeze and cause damage to your RV. This includes the holding tanks
and hot water heater, as well as the freshwater tank. This service should be completed by a professional, and no one knows your RV as well as the folks
right here at R'n R RV Center. Remember: your RV is not a car. Use ONLY recreational vehicle anti-freeze, not anti-freeze designed for your automobile.
