If you own a boat you probably already know that you need to winterize it for the winter. If you’re a new boat owner, this is a necessary step before storing any type of watercraft. Not only will winterizing your boat ensure good performance when you’re ready to set sail again, but it can also prevent some very expensive repairs.
When people start thinking about RV winter storage or they hear the word “winterizing,” they immediately think about preparing their RV water system for cold weather. While that is a very important step in getting your RV ready for winter, there are some items that should be on your pre-storage checklist. Take care of the whole package. That includes your RV interior, chassis and exterior. Yes, that means the tires, too!

Even though travel trailers are usually more affordable than full RVs, they are still an investment, which needs to be protected, especially with insurance.
There are many reasons why people buy used RVs instead of new ones. For one thing, they are usually far less expensive and are perfect for DIY folks who want to renovate and customize their vehicle to their exact liking. Let’s face it, people feel guilty completely gutting something that still has that new car smell.

Crime in RV parks is rare, especially where there are surveillance cameras and security patrolling the campgrounds. It’s still good to be vigilant, however, if you’re RVing on Halloween. The following are some safety tips for all RVers, especially those bringing children.
