Common questions
What safety equipment should every RV have?
Fire extinguishers, working smoke, carbon monoxide and propane detectors, a first aid kit, wheel chocks and tire pressure monitoring.
Why is tire pressure monitoring important on RVs?
Heavy RVs and trailers hide slow leaks. A monitor warns of low pressure and overheating before a blowout.
