If you’re buying an RV, just bought one, or want to avoid common new-owner mistakes—this is one episode you do not want to miss.
In Episode 137, Larry dives into one of the most important parts of RV ownership:
RV Walkthrough Tips & Tricks—What to Look For, What to Ask, and How to Prepare.
Whether you’re purchasing a brand-new RV or a pre-owned unit, a proper walkthrough helps ensure confidence, safety, and no surprises on your first trip.
🛠️ TOP RV WALKTHROUGH TIPS & TRICKS
A walkthrough shouldn’t be rushed—it’s your opportunity to learn how everything in your RV works before you hit the road.
Here are three top examples covered in this week's episode:
✔️ Know Your Hookups Before You Leave the Lot
Power requirements, water pressure limits, sewer connections, surge protection, and cable setups—Larry explains everything new owners should double-check.
✔️ Test Every Appliance & System
A/C, furnace, fridge, slides, awnings, leveling jacks, lights, water heater—make sure they run correctly during your walkthrough, not on your first camping trip.
✔️ Learn Your Safety Equipment
Smoke detectors, LP alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, emergency exits, fire extinguishers, propane shut-off valves—understanding these reduces risk and boosts confidence.
Larry also discusses common new-RVer mistakes, how to prepare a walkthrough checklist, and what questions to ask your delivery specialist.
