Here are 10 things you should never do with your RV. Some of these are just plain common sense. Some are lessons you learn the hard way. And some. . . well, you just don't do it with an RV!
10: While traveling on the interstate in your RV, floor it to see what your top speed is.
9: Assume you can fit under that two lane road bridge that doesn't have the height posted.
8: Wait until next week to winterize the RV when the current temperature is 15 degrees.
7: Attempt to empty the holding tanks when your sewer hose "almost" reaches the drain outlet.
6: Loan your new RV to your best friend for a week. You may be looking for a new best friend!
5: Back the RV into the campsite hoping there is nothing behind you.
4: Take your 35 foot RV on the scenic mountain parkway where the posted sign reads no RVs over 25 feet allowed. Trust me on this one!
3: Take your brand new RV on a hunting trip with all the guys. Trust me on this one too!
2: Believe the RV salesman who says, "your truck can pull anything on this lot!"
1: While camping in bear country leave your trash bags outside your RV's door!

Along with #2, Never, Never, believe anyone from Domar Products when they tell you that their landing gear motor will lift your 34 foot fifth wheel. It will not and it is a very expensive lesson. They have no idea what they are talking about. Kate Ross
And the oder thing we should not do is to dump waste or black in a sower in a Walmart parking.
Those are our best friends on the road when we dont find a Campground around.

ancote really needs spelling lessons before he posts again.
Never believe an RV salesman who tells you "This is such a good deal, we'll even give you exactly what you paid for this one..when you come in to trade it off on a new one, in a couple of years..."
never believe an LAZE DAYS tech when he says he fixed anything!!!
