Captain’s Log
So you’ve taken the step and purchased an RV…now is the perfect time to start a journal or logbook for your rig. A diary of sorts, tracking your mileage, service and repairs. You can also jot down instructions for tasks that you rarely perform, yet need to remember how to do. Your log can also contain your various checklists, so you don’t forget an important step in your RVing adventures.
Shake And Shimmy
If you’re an RV owner, you know that a small annoyance can often turn into something much, much more. A few drops of water can later turn out to be a significant water leak…more than an annoyance, it could turn out to be a costly repair. The same holds true for your rig’s ride – an intermittent shimmy and shake cannot be ignored.
Dump Station – Ewww!
At RV Parks & Campgrounds that DO NOT have sewer hookups, RVers undergo a routine of visiting the Dump Station on their way out…or as needed during their stay. It’s not the most pleasant of tasks, but it doesn’t have to be disgusting either if all RVers comply with the rules and do it properly.
Long Term RV Parking
If you’re a Motor Home owner and you’re just starting out you’ll probably want to pay attention to this. Sometimes we learn things by accident which can be a good thing. But often they are things we have learned the hard way that causes us stress and expense. Since we started our journey we haven’t stayed on one site for more that say three to four weeks. Recently we returned to Wisconsin and set up for a lengthy stay and in the course of that period of idleness the chassis batteries drained down to such a level as they were in essence dead.
Low Hanging Branches
We are told to be knowledgeable about the height of our rigs when it comes to bridge and tunnel clearances, but that also extends to the extensions from trees.
