My Eleven Biggest RV Goofs:
- Our rooftop antenna is up while moving, resulting in damage to the TV antenna.
- The steps have not been retracted, causing damage when contacted by other objects.
- Tire pressures were not checked, overloaded and under inflated tires fail. As a “gator” rubber separates from the tire causing major damage to the wheel well and sidewall of our rig.
- We do not hold the sewer hose in place while dumping, we get gunk all over our shoes, clothing and dumpsite. Anything we dump on the ground well end up in our drinking water.
- Our lights are not checked on the toad or (anything towed behind our rig) and someone rear-ends us – not enough time for them to stop.
- We leave our water hose attached and left on while away from our rig – we come back to find the entire rig flooded from a water line break.
- I forget, as we travel, electrical wiring and pipes may vibrate, chafe or brake or short out. Be careful, when hooking up after a long day, water may leak, things may vibrate loose, and electrical systems may have been damaged.
- After traveling, open cabinets with caution, stuff may fall out and injure you or damage itself.
- Check the torque on your wheels lug nuts, wheels do fall off.
- We lose our sewer hose on the pavement while traveling – the cap fell off of the sewer holder.
- A damaged awning, unfurling while traveling or during a storm.
Happy Camping,
