As you travel with your motorhome you will learn
much from your own experiences. Share with other
motorhome owners and learn from them. Read
RV, outdoor and camping magazines for camping
and travel tips. Here are a few basic suggestions
to make your travel and your camping easier and
1. Know the height and width of your mo-
torhome. Make adequate allowance for clearance.
2. Always fi ll your water tank with clean, fresh,
potable water. Do not use a new hose to fi ll the
tank. It may leave a taste of rubber or vinyl.
3. Conserve water especially when showering.
The holding tanks have a limited capacity.
4. Dump sewage only at approved dumping sites.
5. Store all liquids in plastic containers with tight
6. Watch the levels in your holding tanks. Dump
regularly to avoid unnecessary build-up and po-
tential odor. After dumping, make sure to 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
diffi cult, if not impossible.
7. Make sure all compartment doors and refrig-
erator and freezer doors are closed securely.
Open these doors carefully after travelling. The
contents may have shifted while travelling.
8. There are legal restrictions in some jurisdic-
tions regarding vehicles with LP gas containers
driving through highway tunnels. Check your
route carefully as you travel.
9. Be careful not to leave odor-causing food or
materials in your motorhome for extended peri-
ods of time. Make sure wet clothing and towels
10. Make sure your fi re extinguisher is ready for
use and that you know how to operate it.
11. While driving, use your mirrors to determine
whether you are crowding the center line or
the outside edge of the highway. Remember,
you are driving a vehicle that requires a driving
style quite different from driving the family car.
