Tips to Help You Rent an RV for Your Family Vacation
Camping is so much better when you have a nice, comfy RV to use. If you don't own an RV but would love to get out and enjoy some not-so-roughing-it camping, there are rental services available. Here, you'll find a few tips that'll help you plan your trip and keep your family safe while enjoying the great outdoors.
Look Into Rental Delivery Services
If you don't own an RV, chances are you'd have a very difficult time driving it and getting it set up at the campground. Instead of stressing out about the idea of being responsible for moving the RV around, you can have it delivered and set up for you.
This is the ideal way for those who have never driven or set up an RV to enjoy all of the perks without all of the work or pressure. You won't have to worry about connecting the electricity or water or about the waste-water drain pipe — it's all taken care of for you.
Be Aware of Carbon Monoxide Hazards
Carbon monoxide can be deadly and can go unnoticed for quite a while before making anyone physically ill. If you know what signs to look for, you'll be able to identify the problem and get your family to safety before they become sick.
Watch the flames. The gas stove, water heater, and furnace all operate with flames. Those flames should be a consistent blue color. If the flames are turning yellow, the oxygen levels in the RV cabin are too low and you need to get things aired out.
If you notice the flames turning orange, the first thing to do is get the family out of the RV. Then, open all of the windows and doors to let it air out. Next, contact the rental company to have them send someone out to inspect the equipment and make any necessary repairs.
Read the Instructions
Your rental RV should have come with a booklet telling you how to use all of the features in the unit. Read through the booklet entirely. In there, you'll learn where the fire extinguishers are, what to do in the event of an alarm sounding, and who to contact if you were to run into any problems with anything. Chances are, if you have a question, the answer will be inside that booklet somewhere.
Get away from home for a camping adventure. Renting an RV will give you all of the luxuries of home while still getting away and enjoying the fresh air of the wild. If you are interested in RVs, talk to an RV rental company.
