Well you can act calm.. Or you can be calm.
For one thing some of us have improved the hangling on or RV's with Trac Bars, Sway Bars and steering stabilizers. Makes 'em easier to drive.
And some of us.. Well. "Stuff happens" and you need to remember
90% or more of the stuff you worry about.. Won't happen
The remaining 10% or less. You can't prevent
So why worry?
Instead be concerned, But don't let it stop you.. Be prepared.
Accident? Well that is why I pay an Insurance company every month.
Break down.. Very minor. I fix
Minor I pay to have fixed
Major.. I pay another insurance company to fix.
Total disaster (RV Blows up, Semi blows a light and divides your house in two)
See Insurance.
Best is to know how to respond when "Stuff Happens" (Yes you can take classes) Make sure you watch the "Watching these videos can save your life" video elsewhere in this forum.. That is the very best I can give you. If you are an FMCA member make sure to catch Mac the Fire Guy at a rally.. (I did. Now understand I've caught a few such demo's by professionals.. MAC knows what he is talking about).
Take the AEON RV safety course at an FMCA rally (They show the same video).
And above all else remember this.
Many people are in the devil's own hurry to get where they are going. THey will do 90+ in a 55 zone (I do have a story about that but you can imagine top speed written that day was 105 in a 65 as I recall Minimum 85 Number of tickets 85, Later that week, Same stats, Why do I think same 105mph)
The folks in a hurry are going to a funeral.. Theirs.. Just like I'm going to my funeral.. But unlike them.. I'm in no hurry.. No hurry at all
Be in no hurry. Enjoy the trip.
