1. Save Your Brakes ? Unlike a car, stopping an RV requires a lot of friction in the breaks. This is particularly true with sudden stops. While your brake pads are built for the extra weight, take care to down shift to slow your speed.



2. Getting the RV You Need ? Before you make the decision to buy an RV, give some serious thought to what you need. Don't make an impulse decision. Figure out how you will use it, how many people will be involved and then purchase.

3. RV Drivers License ? For years, advocates have proposed the idea of requiring special drivers licenses for people driving RVs. As of January 2007, no such requirement exists nor is any legislation pending.

4. RV Travel Trailers ? RV Travel Trailers are essentially a motorhome without the engine. They have all the amenities of an RV, but are towed behind your truck. Prices range from $6,000 to $80,000 depending on what you want.

5. Mexico Parking Lots ? If you are cruising Mexico, leaving your RV in a lot can be risky. Make sure to tip the person controlling the lot a few dollars. Doing so usually prevents problems.

6. RV Clearance and Bridges ? Before you get out on the road, know the clearance of your RV. This particularly true if you rent. Convertible RVs are not very popular.

7. Rest Stop Sleeping ? For some reason, rest stops tend to attract strange people. If possible, try to avoid sleeping at them. If nothing else, you will not get much rest.

8. Class C Motorhome Prices ? Class C motorhomes are often bigger than Class B, but are a bit rougher. They usually have the bed over cab approach and are built on truck chassis. Prices range from $40,000 to $80,000.

9. Class B Motorhome Prices ? Class B motorhomes are better known as camper vans. They are essentially vans converted to your living needs. Prices range from $30,000 to $65,000.

10. Overheating RV Brakes ? Take care not to ride your breaks. If you overheat them, they can fail. Avoid rush hour traffic if possible. If you are stuck in it, consider pulling over till it thins out.

The world is full of nice, paved roads. For a person with a RV, this makes it your oyster. Get out there and eat to your heart's content!
