- Make sure your fire extinguisher is in working order. Don’t have one? Get a fire extinguisher now. A must have for every RV.
- Maintain your gas appliances. Check all connections and make sure all areas are free of debris. Light all burners before you head out on your first trip.
- Ensure that any electrical cables or propane lines in storage areas and under the RV are not pinched, fraying, or needing some TLC.
- Have an exit plan for your entire family, make sure they know it, and practice it!These should get you going and ready for your first trip out or as a reminder for those of you already on the road.

RV Cooking Made Easier
Just like at home and when you are RVing, cooking is one of those things that you can spend a lot of time doing. Some ‘camp cooking’ is fun especially when sitting around the campfire roasting a hot dog or two.
But the reality is you probably aren’t going to be eating hot dogs all weekend! One helpful cooking tool can be a combination rice cooker, steamer, pressure cooker, and soup maker. You can cook all kinds of things in these devices and in less time.
The models on the market today are much more versatile than days gone by. You can program them all different ways to start early, late, and just keep things warm. One that has good reviews is the Secura Cooker. Check it out. It might just help you get out of the RV kitchen and enjoying the lifestyle a bit more.
