Summer is now in full swing and with the kids out of school and that PTO saved up, it’s time for road trips. One of our favorite types of road trips is RVs. Hitting the open road in an RV just screams “summer vacation”. RVs and camper trailers can be a bit tricky for beginners. While we can’t go over every RV manual out there in this short blog, we can give you some tips and tricks to make sure your RV trip goes as planned!
This is the step where you need to make sure everything is going to run smoothly. You’ll need to check your fluid levels, battery, water and propane tanks. Make sure awnings and other movable parts are secure. We’d hate for you to be driving down the road with your awning flying in the wind. If your RV has been sitting for 6+ months, you’ll need to sanitize the freshwater tank and make sure all the appliances are running properly.

So, you should have already known this was going to be on the list. Imagine this, you’re headed across country in your brand-new RV. Your wife, kids and family dog are all hanging out, listening to music and enjoying the ride. Life is good. All of a sudden, you feel the camper trailer you’re hauling start to shake. You pull over and see you ran over a nail and now you have a flat. You have a couple options, change the tire yourself (nothing like a little manual labor while on vacation) or wait for roadside assistance to show, which can take a hot minute. Neither of those are that great of options. The better plan would have been to install FlatOut™ QuickStrike On Road formula and avoid the flat all together. FlatOut™ seals slow leaks and punctures up to ½’’, it lasts for the life of the tire and there’s no sticky mess. You would have run over that nail and been able to keep on trucking to the beach. Plus, your camper trailer will be protected on road trips for years to come.
Replacing one tire on your RV can cost you hundreds of dollars. Check out this article by Togo RV to determine what kind of tires your RV needs and the average cost for each. The price just keeps going up from there if you have a blow out on your road trip. A flying tire or tire parts can cause damage to the rim and your RV’s frame. When you take into consideration all the damage that could happen if you had a blow out, you could be shelling out thousands of dollars after it’s all said and done. Not to mention, blow outs can be dangerous for you, your passengers and others on the road. FlatOut™ QuickStrike On Road Formula helps reduce the risk of flats and blow outs by sealing slow leaks and punctures up to 1/2’’. This allows your tires to maintain proper tire pressure, in return, making the road a whole lot safer. For more tips on RV travel, check out this blog by Camping World®.
