Safer and Happier RV Driving
Safer and Happier Recreational Vehicle Driving.
Driving an RV or motorhome can be a lot of fun, (we know we do it daily) but it also requires a certain level of skill and attention to safety. At HLU we want to offer a few tips to help you have a safer and happier experience on the road.
- Plan your route: Before hitting the road, make sure to plan your route and check for any road closures or construction that might affect your trip. Also, take into consideration the size and weight of your recreational vehicle or motorhome and avoid narrow roads or steep inclines if possible.
- Check your Motorhome: Before you hit the road, conduct a thorough pre-trip inspection of your RV. Check the brakes, tires, lights, steering, suspension and other essential systems to make sure everything is in good working order.
- Drive defensively: Always be aware of your surroundings and anticipate the actions of other drivers. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles and be prepared for sudden stops or turns.
- Take it slow: Recreational Vehicles are larger and heavier than standard vehicles, so it's important to take it slow and give yourself plenty of time to react to changing road conditions.
- Stay alert: Driving for long periods can be tiring, so make sure to take regular breaks and switch drivers if possible. Avoid distractions such as using your phone while driving.
- Be prepared for emergencies: Make sure you have emergency supplies, such as a first-aid kit, flares, and a fire extinguisher, on hand in case of an emergency.
By following these tips, you can make sure your RV trip is safe, enjoyable, and relaxing. Remember that safety should always be your top priority while on the road, and with a little bit of planning and preparation, you can make the most of your recreational vehicle adventure.
God bless you and thank you for being the best part of our business.
