Checks & Balances
Once you have everything you need, consult the weight label on your RV to make sure you balance your RV’s load. With careful preparation, you will find the packing experience a pleasant one. Fasten all items and pack cabinets very tightly so that when the RV is in motion, your items won’t fall all over the place. Now you’re ready to push back with peace of mind – and venture forth. Once out there, know maintaining your RV is key. Give her a good cleaning when the time is right. Steam clean the carpet and launder all clothing items, blankets, and towels. Clean all drawers, the furnace, AC, and fan filters and replace anything used on your last jaunt. W
