1. Save Your Brakes – Unlike a car, stopping an RV requires a lot of friction in the breaks. This is particularly true with sudden stops. While your brake pads are built for the extra weight, take care to down shift to slow your speed. 2. RV Rush Hour Driving – You may be tempted to keep trucking along even if you are a big city during rush hour. I highly advise against this. Frustrated drivers can be vicious. You will also put a lot of wear and tear on your RV. 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. Your RV Profile – When looking at RV models, consider how you are going to use them. If you plan to stay in luxury resorts, you are going to need one type of model. If you plan to drive out into the middle of Alaska for hunting, you need a different type. 5. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating – When evaluating a RV, it is important to understand how much weight it can take. This is known as the gross vehicle weight rating or GVWR. Do not exceed it! 6. RV Storage and Insurance – At some point, you will need to store your RV. If you are doing it at a third party location, make sure to look into your insurance. Will it cover theft from a storage facility? 7. RV Exhaust Brakes – Given the weight of an RV, maintaining your breaks can be costly. One step you can take to reduce the wear and tear is to use RV exhaust brakes when towing extra weight such as a dolly. 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. Class B Motorhome Prices – Class B motorhomes are better known as camper vans. They are essentially vans converted to your living needs. Prices range from $30,000 to $65,000. 10. Overheating RV Brakes – Take care not to ride your breaks. If you overheat them, they can fail. Avoid rush hour traffic if possible. If you are stuck in it, consider pulling over till it thins out. 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. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
