3 Simple Tips for Camping with Your Travel Trailer

1. Pack Lightly

We often recommend that our customers bring little baggage when vacationing with their RV.

Note the items you think you will need on your trip, and then spend time identifying those you can leave out. This will help you pack wisely and stay within your towing vehicle’s maximum weight limits. Overloading your camper will affect your driving experience and cause it to wear down faster.

2. Haul Your Camper Safely

Travel trailers feature a bumper pull hitch that allows attaching them to various distinct towing vehicles like SUVs, sedans, and pickup trucks. However, be careful when securing your camper to your passenger vehicle, as failing to attach your towing setup correctly can create a safety hazard for you and other motorists on the road.

3. Set Up Your Travel Trailer

Once you have arrived at your destination, you will want to find a stable patch of ground to park your travel trailer. Make sure you avoid any inclines for setting up your model and, if possible, use a concrete pad or a firm and flat spot to prevent your camper from moving. Use your leveling device to level your RV and chocks to hold the tires in place.

We hope this guide helps make your camping trip more fun and memorable. If you have more questions or want to explore travel trailers for sale near you, visit RVs and Boats For Less. We are in Chubbuck, ID, and happy to welcome our patrons from Idaho Falls and Pocatello.
