Research the RV Lifestyle

If you’ve never traveled by RV, either solo or with others, it’s important to understand the RV lifestyle. For instance, you’ll need to know how to pack for your trip, where the best campgrounds are and most importantly how to drive and park your RV. There is tons of information available online for solo RV travelers, so spend some time researching the RV lifestyle.

Have a Reliable RV

There is nothing that is going to ruin your trip quicker than a broken-down RV, so plan ahead. Be sure to take the RV in for service a few days before you’re scheduled to leave. While at the service center, talk with the mechanic about how to check the fluids, the air pressure in the tires and what noises to be on the alert for that may indicate a problem with the motor.

Stay Safe

You will meet a lot of people while on your travels, but it is important to use caution when traveling alone. Do not hesitate to talk to people, but be careful about what information you provide. For instance, don’t advertise that you are traveling alone, lock your doors and windows at night and trust your instincts.
