On the Road Safety Checklist
The list can be modified to suit your own needs.
These checks should be done during your road trip.
-
Check that the couplings and safety chains are securely fastened and in good condition.
-
If you think your camper’s brakes and wheel bearings are overheating compare them to your car brakes.
-
Always check that the lights, blinkers and break lights are working.
-
Check the tyres to ensure they are not going down as you travel.
-
Occasionally look inside your Caravan or RV to check everything is secure.
-
When driving along gas cylinders should be turned off, always check before starting your journey each day.
-
Pop Top caravans-When raising the roof of a pop-top or campervan it is advisable to leave the main door open. If the main door is closed during this raising operation it can cause a vacuum inside the RV and make the roof a little difficult to raise. Leaving the door open will allow air to come into the campervan or pop-top whilst the roof is being raised and therefore make the raising operation much easier.
-
Check the Service Manual for your vehicle and camper for specific instructions.
