Safety Stuff:
Use mirrors carefully and make sure that a motorcycle or small car is not in your rear blind spot when changing lanes to the right. Miss an off ramp rather than risk a side swipe accident. Use a GPS to plan ahead for merges and off ramps. In parking, when in doubt get out and/or have someone signal you to back into a space without hitting something behind or above. Don't wipe off front overhan in a fast food drive-through. Make sure TV antenna is down before driving. Don't let impatient car/truck drivers pressure you to drive faster than you feel safe on curvy roads and down-grades.Pull off road when completely safe and let 'em pass. Have brake fluid flushed and replaced while having entire brake system checked and serviced, including front flexible brake lines and calipers. If tires are over 5 years old have them inspected for side wall cracks and replaced if needed. RV tires go bad sitting parked and may look new but come apart underway and can damage underside parts of RV like holding tanks, wiring and propane lines. Have engine cooling checked including belts, hoses, radiator, clutch fan and water pump. Safety First!!
