More Tips...
- Buying walki-talkies is a waist if you forget to charge them before you need them.
- RT 95, Del to Washington DC is best traveled between 10pm and 3am.
- When crossing into Canada, (or back) whatever they ask you sound like your sure of your answer or plan on an extended stay.
- Stops to check tire pressures are better than stops to handle blow outs.
- Never assume the step comes out when you open the door. It has a personality and likes to plays jokes on you...

If they are over 18, female and single I sure will.

Always double check cabinets when coming home from a trip.
Nothing worse than a banana that has sat in a hot coach for 2 weeks in between trips. It really isn't recognizable!
Chicken is worse  (Haven't done that yet, but read someone who did!)

Don't accidentally hook the water hose to the black water flush inlet thinking you were hooking up the water source for the RV and then marvel at the sight of your black water tank contents coming out your roof vent after a few minutes!

If arriving late to your destination, don't hurry to back into your site even if others are waiting, take your time.
Politely refuse help with either setting up or tearing down, you have a set procedure too many things can be overlooked or unknown by people helping that don't know better.

If they dont see my toad....then they missed the 36 foot long coach pulling it too....  MY JOB is to maintain my forward speed within MY LANE at a constant. Even a Yugo can out accelerate me...its THEIR JOB to blend in and out of traffic...hence the reason they have the sign that states "YIELD".
Sully, you read my mind.

Been there and done that after a very long day of driving and discovered my error when my 9 year old came running outside screaming that the toilet was "about to blow".. Very scary.

..Always FINISH dumping air bags and level with jacks BEFORE locking the door and leaving. If the door is off it is jammed and will not open. Found out with the help of tall guys I fit thru the drivers window. Started the engine and air bags pumped back up and the door opened right up.
Motorcycle ride during Daytona Bike week 2009 was worth it. Thanks Joe But should have leveled coach first.
