Your Guide to RV Safety

Recreational vehicles (RVs) offer a convenient and comfortable way to travel and explore the great outdoors. However, it is important to prioritize safety while using an RV to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. Here are some RV safety basics to keep in mind.

Perform Regular Maintenance

Before hitting the road, make sure your RV is in good working condition. Check the tires, brakes, lights, and other essential components to ensure they are functioning properly.

Secure All Items

When driving an RV, make sure all loose items inside are securely stored to prevent them from becoming projectiles in the event of sudden stops or turns. This includes securing cabinets, appliances, and personal belongings.

Park RV Correctly

When parking at a campground, be sure to level your RV properly and use wheel chocks to prevent it from rolling. Follow campground rules and regulations, and be considerate of your neighbors.

Fire Safety

Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in your RV, and have a fire extinguisher on hand in case of emergencies. Practice fire safety by never leaving cooking appliances unattended and keeping flammable materials away from heat sources.

Emergency Preparedness

Keep a first aid kit, emergency supplies, and a list of emergency contacts in your RV at all times. Familiarize yourself with how to shut off the propane and other utilities in case of an emergency.
