As springtime finally arrives in Rochester, MN, residents can start to prepare for their summer adventures. A popular way to see the beauty of the American West is to take an excursion in a recreational vehicle (RV). With the many national forests and parks in Idaho and neighboring states, travel by RV offers a great way to enjoy the beauty of our region while bringing a little piece of home with us. Safechoice Insurance Agency offers insurance coverage for Idahoans ready to hit the road in their RVs.

RV Preparation Checklist

For those planning long-distance trips, here are some helpful hints:

• Carefully inspect tires, windows, doors, vents, and the RV’s exterior for cracks, dents, or other damage. 
• Remove dirt and mildew from the exterior of the vehicle and thoroughly clean and refresh the interior.
• Inspect bulbs and check outlets to make sure that electrical service is reliable.
• Clean out water storage systems, inspect the propane system, and check the water heater.
• Ensure that you have a road hazard kit, first aid supplies, a fire extinguisher, and ample provisions, such as fresh water. 
• Inspect under the hood to make sure batteries and wiring are corrosion-free and that there is no evidence that small animals built nests during the cold winter months. 
• If you plan to travel as a tourist into Canada, be sure to get a non-resident inter-provincial insurance card that assures your motor vehicle liability meets minimum standards.
