Traveling in a motorhome is a lot of fun, but there are a few things you should know. Our team at Meridian RV is here to help you throughout your RVing journey and we’ve created a quick list of motorhome travel tips.
1. Plan Ahead
Before leaving, make sure you have a route planned out and map out any stops you’ll be making along the way. Make sure your motorhome is stocked with all the essentials, including food, water, and emergency supplies like flashlights and first aid kits. Also, don’t forget to check the weather!
2. Be Prepared for Emergencies
Even if you don’t expect anything bad to happen while on the road, it’s always good to be prepared for any unexpected situations that may arise such as breakdowns or flat tires. Have an emergency kit stocked with tools and spare parts just in case something does come up so that you can get back on the road quickly.
3. Research Your Destination and Travel Route
Before you leave, research motorhome parks and campsites in the area so that you can easily find suitable places to stay along your route with all the amenities needed for a comfortable trip. Even if you’re only planning to stay at your destination, it can be useful to have an idea of the areas you’ll be passing through in case you need to stop.
4. Stay Safe on the Road
You should always drive defensively and follow the speed limit at all times when driving a motorhome. Since they are larger and heavier than most vehicles, they require more stopping distance and space. Stay aware of your surroundings and pay attention to road signs!
