Comprehensive Motorhome Trip Preparation: Inspecting, Stocking & Securing 

Taking an epic road trip in your motorhome is an amazing way to see the country. But before you hit the open road, it’s important to make sure your motorhome is in tip-top shape and fully stocked for your journey. Follow these tips to get your motorhome ready for the adventure of a lifetime from a professional motorhome repair shop.

 

Check The Pantry

 

Make sure to pack plenty of non-perishable food items, bottled water, and dry goods to last throughout your trip. Having ample food reserves means you won’t have to stop as often to restock. Bring cooking supplies as well.

 

Know The Rules of The Road

 

Research and understand all relevant laws and regulations for the areas you'll be driving through. This includes speed limits, approved parking locations, and any size or weight restrictions for your motorhome. Following the rules of the road will ensure a smooth, safe trip.

 

Prepare Your Route and Itinerary

 

Map out your route ahead of time and make reservations at any RV parks or campsites you plan to stay at. Having an itinerary will allow you to better plan out each day of your motorhome journey. Leave room for unexpected discoveries and detours too!

 

Inspect The Motorhome

 

Thoroughly inspect the interior and exterior of your motorhome before departing. Check the tires, fluids, battery, appliances, slides, and all other components. Address any issues to avoid breakdowns on the road.  Schedule a check up to prevent unexpected issues while on the road.

 

Secure Belongings

 

Pack wisely and secure all belongings so they don’t shift around while driving. Stow away any loose items. You'll also want to childproof cabinet doors and drawers if you’re traveling with little ones. Safe storage protects both your belongings and those inside the motorhome.
