Our staff (and collaborators) work hard to provide you with tips and advice to improve your RV lifestyle. This week&#8217;s Friday tips are inspired by one of our Senior Members, and an experienced RVer, C. Nash.<\/p>\n<h2>RV Tips for Beginners:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Always Make a Walk-Around<\/strong> &#8211; You don&#8217;t want to learn the hard way when it comes to properly exiting your site. Prevent any accidents (such as pulling an electrical post down with a 50 amp cord) by double checking your RV and site before leaving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Get a Senior Park Pass<\/strong> &#8211; If you&#8217;re over the age of 62, you can purchase a Senior Pass from in person or online. For just $10 this pass will give you lifetime access to more than 2000 recreation sites around the US. <a href=\"http:\/\/store.usgs.gov\/pass\/senior.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to get your pass.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try Winter Camping<\/strong> &#8211; While camping in winter may sound unappealing, there are actually a lot of perks. Camping in winter means no bugs or varmints. Plus, it&#8217;s a great excuse to snuggle up by the campfire and make some delicious s&#8217;mores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Control Your Pets<\/strong> &#8211; Bringing pets in your RV can be a wonderful thing, as long as you be respectful of other people at the campground. Don&#8217;t leave your pet in the RV for long periods of time. Your pet will not only feel neglected, but the constant barking may disturb other campers. Also, don&#8217;t let your pet do their &#8220;business&#8221; in other people&#8217;s campsites. That may seem like common sense, but you&#8217;d be surprised.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean Up<\/strong> &#8211; Just because you&#8217;re outdoors, doesn&#8217;t give you an excuse to make a mess. Clean your site when leaving, including any trash or cigarette butts on the ground. Burning cans in fire pits is also a big &#8220;no.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope you find these tips to be helpful as you venture out into the world of RVing!<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rvusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/thompson.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 0.85; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 751px; left: 520px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While RVUSA.com is a great place to find RV dealers or a new RV, we are more than just a listing website.
