Safety Tips For An RV Camping Trip

from: Kyle Besser

These who like RV camping better than other types of camping are the ones who like to experience nature with the amenities of home. According to a recent survey, 92% of individuals owning an RV affirmed that RVs are the best means to travel and go camping with the family, especially with children.

If you are thinking of buying an RV, rent an RV for a short camping trip. That is the best way to survey your actual requirements before purchasing one.

Here are safety guidelines for a memorable RV camping trip:

1. Take a professional course in driving focused on the specialized requirements of efficiency and safety of operating your RV.

2. Practice your skills on roads with minimal traffic.

3. In the U.S., when you reach 62 years, you should acquire a "Golden Age passport" for free wildlife, national monuments, parks, national recreation facilities and refuges access.

4. In tourist areas and peak seasons, make reservations at least 3 weeks ahead.

5. Checklist:

*First aid kit

*Packed meals

*Canned foods

*Ample supply of purified drinking water

*Toiletries (soap, shampoo, tissue)

*Cooking essentials

*Flashlights

*Mosquito and bug repellant lotion or spray

*Enough clothing

*Fire extinguisher

*Map, compass

*Books, game boards, cards, puzzles

6. Park your RV under a shade.

7. Build your campfire a safe distance away from the vehicle.

To build your campfire, begin with easy burning tinder like dry needles of pine, wood shavings, paper or tiny twigs. Put your broken dry twigs carefully placed on top of the tinder, where your will start the fire. Then place some sticks in a teepee style over the small twigs and tinder, making sure there is less space in between the sticks, tinder and teepee. Once your fire rises up, add more twigs and then logs.

8. Make sure you attend to your campfire. Always extinguish it before you go inside your RV to sleep by splashing water on it.

9. Before leaving the campsite, walk completely around your RV to examine that all electric wires, sewer and water are unhooked and check if the TV antenna is put down.

10. Clean around the campsite, making sure you leave it as it was before you came. Take your trash with you.

Enjoy the campfire, enjoy nature and enjoy the trip. This really is an excellent family treat.
