Helpful Tips for RVing in the Fall

Helpful tips for RVing in the fall. Here's a summary of what to do before heading out on an autumn RV trip:

Pre-Fall RV Checklist:

1. Check Your RV:

• Perform a thorough maintenance check, including tires, brakes, and towing equipment.

• Get familiar with your RV's heating system to ensure it works well during cooler months.

2. Prepare for Cold Weather:

• Be aware of how to protect your RV’s water system against freezing temperatures.

• Disconnect and drain water lines if you expect freezing conditions to avoid damage.

3. Pack the Right Gear:

• Make sure your RV has proper insulation and gear to stay comfortable in temperatures close to or below freezing.

• Most RVs are suited for temperatures above 0 degrees, but it's best to have extra layers, heating options, and cold-weather essentials.

4. Plan Your Route and Campsites:

• Some campgrounds may close by late September or early October, so check ahead for availability.

• Call the park or campground in advance to ensure Forest Service roads are open, as they may close during the fall.

These tips will help you have a smoother and more enjoyable fall RV experience.
