Taking a summer trip in an RV can be a cost-effective way to travel, but if you’re not familiar with operating an RV, it can be dangerous. because it’s bigger and heavier than an average car or truck, there are additional hazards that come with owning and operating an RV. Fortunately, many RV accidents can be avoided by following these pre-trip, mid-trip and post-trip tips.

Pre-, Mid- and Post-Trip Inspections

Keep these tips in mind while preparing for your RV trip.

Pre-trip Tips

·        Know the weight capacity of your RV.

·        Perform a complete pre-trip inspection.

  • Check the tire pressure, tread depth, headlights, taillights, turn signals, belts, oil levels, hitch and other towing equipment, and windshield wipers before heading out.

Mid-trip Tips

·        Know your RV’s height.

·        Watch your speed, especially at night and during dusk.

·        Slow down on blind curve areas of the roadway.

·        Use your high beams at night to see animals and other obstructions.

·        Always wear a seat belt—it’s your best safety defense.

Post-trip Tips

·        Clear out any food and garbage.

·        Store the RV in a safe, secure location.

Know How to Respond in an Accident

In the event that you get into an accident while driving your RV, pull off to the side of the road and call the state or local police department. If the accident involves two or more vehicles, make sure the other drivers are OK.

Depending on the policy you have or where you live, you may need to purchase insurance policies specific to recreational vehicles.
