Staying Safe While Traveling In An RV
Do your research
Renting an apartment or house for the first time can be a challenging experience because of the many responsibilities associated with it. To put it into perspective you are basically paying for the right to use a living space that is owned by another person. There is a major difference between ownership and renting. Renters get into to trouble and have problems with landlords or managers when they break or treat the property like their home. Now treating an apartment or rental property as if it was a home owned by the renter can lead to property damage and even eviction.
Once you've found a suitable campground make a reservation and specify that you have an RV, not just a car and a tent. Confirm reservations over the phone beforehand to avoid closing hours and keep a list of other nearby campgrounds in case they are fully booked or there is bad weather.
* Check the chain, handle bars and safety features to make sure the bike is safe and road worthy. This is still good to do on a brand new motorcycle as well.
What to do before renting
Homes on wheels are not as capable as homes not on wheels when it comes to amps. They are limited to 30 or 50 amps, so you want to keep track how many you're using in order to avoid losing electricity altogether. The formula to convert watts to amps is watts divided by volts equals amps.
Another thing to research is the type of motorcycle you want, and how it would benefit you. Some people may want the bike just to drive around town as an extra fun toy. Others it is strictly recreational and may need to meet certain safety standards and other requirements. And maybe other people want it to be their commuter from work to home during the week. Whatever your reasoning you need to find a bike that will fit your needs; from a certain brand to specifications of models.
* Renter's Insurance: Most apartment communities will require renters insurance and it is usually a liability up to $100,000.00. The best place to check for a renter's policy is to couple it with your current auto policy. This will give you a discount and save you time and money by paying a small monthly payment each month. Basically, renter's insurance is for your own protection and the landlord's as well. If any damage did happen to the apartment or rental property you would able to pay for it if you were at fault. The owner's insurance policy will not cover your possessions if they are destroyed or stolen. Sao make sure that you get a policy to protect your interests.
