The Golden Rules of RVing

There are three things I tell RV owners to remember when operating their RV. If you learn nothing else from this website remember these three rules.

The Golden Rules of RVing:

1. Never open or close your RV awning with the black knobs tight because by doing so you will bend and rip the awning hardware and cause some major damage. (See more info about RV awnings.)


2. A deep cycle battery takes 72 hours to recharge to its fullest capacity if it is below 10.5 volts (you can tell from the reading on your monitor. If it shows one light or reads "low", you're below 10.5 volts). Keep this in mind when you are preparing for a trip. (See more info about RV batteries.)


3. Never have both your black water and grey water dump valves open at the same time because you don't want the smell of the black water getting into the grey water system. It will stink and ruin your day.

Remember these three rules and you'll be well on your way to great, affordable maintenance of your RV that keeps it running smooth and looking phenomenal.
