Your Guide to RV Safety and Insurance Coverage

RV Safety Tips & Insurance Essentials Every Traveler Should Know

The open road calls, but safety and insurance must ride shotgun. Check your rig, secure the right coverage, and then chase that horizon with confidence.

1. Inspect Before Every Trip
   Walk around the RV before you roll out. Check tires (including the spare), fluid levels, brakes, lights, wipers, propane tanks, roof, and slide-outs. Spotting small issues now prevents big headaches later.
2. Stay Within Your Weight Limit
   Each RV lists a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Weigh your fully loaded RV at a certified scale and keep the total below that number to avoid blowouts and suspension trouble.
3. Practice Driving and Parking
   New to RVing? Find an empty lot and rehearse turns, backing, and parking. Mastering your rig’s size and swing makes every mile smoother.
4. Secure Your Load
   Fasten appliances, furniture, and anything stored in cabinets. Sudden stops or tight corners can turn loose gear into dangerous projectiles.
5. Prepare for Emergencies
   Pack a first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, road flares, flashlight, spare tools, and an emergency contact list. Share your route with a friend when you travel through remote areas.
