At one time,
camping meant hiking deep into the woods and pitching a
tent. However, our idea of camping has been slightly
modified since the introduction and more frequent use of
recreational vehicles, also known as RVs.
RV camping affords many of the comforts and amenities of our home
lives while providing freedom to roam as far as the
roads and our wallets will take us.
The following are some suggestions to help you get the most bang
for your RV camping buck.
Before you head out on your camping trip, be sure not to overload
your RV. The extra weight can accelerate wear and tear
on your vehicle.
Another problem arises if you are involved in an accident. In this
situation you can count on your RV being weighed. If
your RV is found to be overweight, you may automatically
void any insurance claims, leaving yourself fully liable
for any damages. Avoid this situation at all costs.
Record your RV's exact exterior height, including the air
conditioner. Be sure to keep this information in your
cabin so you never experience the embarrassment incurred
while traveling under an overpass of miscalculated
height.
Before you set out, standard safety checks should be performed to
determine that everything is in working order. This may
prevent you from being stranded should problems arise
later on.
Be sure to check your LP gas, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
as well. These devices can save your life.
Another important point to remember is to create an emergency kit
and place it in a storage compartment on the outside of
your RV. This kit should contain first aid supplies, a
notepad and pencil, a flashlight and a disposable camera
for taking pictures in case of an accident.
Also, make a list of names (doctors, lawyers,
insurance, personal contact, etc) as well as any kind of
medication you might be on. Hopefully you will not need
to use this kit.
In order to make your RV camping trip a happy one, you should call
ahead and make reservations at your favorite camping
spot or your next stop. Describe the exact location or
proximity in which you wish to park your RV.
If you would rather be close to the bathroom or pool, or if you
want fewer trees due to the size of your RV. Whatever
you want, be sure to ask when you make your reservation.

You create lasting memories on a family
campout.
The many camping trips our
family took nearly 4 decades ago still bring
back many wonderful memories.
We towed a
large camper to the Smokies in Appalachia and the Grand
Tetons in the Rocky Mountains*, hiked the Kiobob trails down into the Grand Canyon,
slept on beaches in Maine, panned for rubies
in Kentucky, hunted rocks and gem stones in
the Carolinas and Utah, and did many other
close-to-nature activities.
We began our annual camping tours by pulling a
pop-up
tent trailer - the closest thing to tent
camping on the ground. We soon found that a
camper and recreational vehicle better
suited our extended travels and growing
family.
