Summer is coming, and you called for two weeks off of work. Your employer agreed, and you’re shocked. Now when the opportunity arises, you can finally do what you were planning for a long time – long RV adventure.

The upcoming trip makes you excited, but you have to keep in mind plenty of things before you hit the road. Proper preparations and organization are crucial, but it can be a little stressful, especially that you have to pack way more things when you use motorhome. Use our checklist to make sure that you don’t forget anything essential!

First of all, make sure that your car is in good condition. Check your motorhome tires. It’s crucial for your family’s safety. Search for any leaks in your RV, and if they exist – fix them. It’ll prevent you from an unpleasant surprise already on the road. Also, pay special attention to hook up trailer connection properly. If you don’t do it, you can endanger not only yourself but also all the other road users.

Finally, look for any minor issues that you could have overlooked. People forget to hide the antenna, and they sometimes drive with stairs extended. It might sound funny, but it’s dangerous on the road.

If your motorhome is too old, and it continuously causes problems, you might consider getting another one. Of course, it’s a significant expense to buy a brand new RV vehicle, but there are more options. You can also rent it or look for used motorhomes for sale. It’ll allow you to save a big amount of money and for sure a lot of trouble.

But this is not the end of preparations. You also have to pack everything useful for the trip. Camping accessories list is way too long, that’s why you should look at the infographic provided by Oaktree Motorhomes:
