Risks Of Owning A RV And How To Avoid Them

As people struggle with recreation opportunities during the pandemic, camping and road trips are more popular than ever. Another area that is seeing a boom in interest is that of RV sales. Now that RV dealers have been allowed to open back up their gates to new customers, it’s harder than ever to find an RV in stock. For example, a Pueblo, CO RV dealer sold his entire yearly stock in less than two months, and now the lot sits mostly empty, waiting for new inventory. It’s easy to see why RV ownership has skyrocketed during the pandemic. The freedom of the open road and no concerns about using public facilities like bathrooms and hotels is a huge plus. This said, there are risks of owning a RV, particularly staying safe while driving it on the road. Let’s look at some safety tips to keep you and your family protected and healthy on your next road trip.
