Give me your best not obvious rv tips.

Just got a used rv for the first time and I have done some research on it. But they are SO different then a regular house though and I want to make sure I am not doing anything that would ruin my rv. Give me your best tips whether you think it is obvious or not, I am new here.

Some great tips I have heard so far:

Don’t put bleach down your pipes

Make sure you get a surge protector.

  • It would help to let us know what type of RV you bought. Year, make model, and what type of camping you plan on doing. Pretty much everything Rv is "it depends". And those dependencies start with the details. 

  • How do you sanitize your water system if you don’t put bleach down the tanks? I think you’ve already gotten some pretty dubious information and it’s going to be pretty hard for you to separate the wheat from the chaff. Common sense along with very specific questions when you are really in doubt will give you better results; with the  emphasis on common sense.
