It is no secret, owning an RV is quite expensive. And after buying it one has to regularly maintain it in addition to emergency repairs that may occur. This makes the owner incur a lot of cost and takes time. But it has very many advantages and makes life flexible when it is well maintained. Owning one require you to have a dedicated repair shop and someone ready to give mobile urgent care when you are stuck somewhere and cannot drive to the repair shop. Below are assumptions that people hold wrongly.

Many people believe that since they have bought new RVs, there will be no need for repairs. Even new vehicles develop mechanical problems. In the first year of use anyone should expect to encounter one or two issues requiring a mechanic or bodyworks. And since it is used on the road where other vehicles also sue, chances of accidents or scrapes are possible. The vehicles will need fixes and some upgrades to suit the owner's use since not all RVs are the same in body and interior.

The tires bring another problem many do not know. Tire blowout usually cause a lot of damage that owners do not see coming. Other than the tire itself, the area around it will experience some damage; this includes water tank, the wheel and even the RV structure. This is due to their large weight. Valves around the wheel and molding may be damaged in the burst.

The dealer and other RV owners may tell you otherwise but such damage can be so severe on your vehicle setting you back several dollars in repair cost. Always use the right tire size for the RV and drive it under the correct pressure. This also calls for checking the vehicle properly before setting out for any journey. This is the best way to avoid calling the emergency auto care or having to do it yourself in the middle of nowhere or even at night alone.

There is a fallacy that the windshields of an RV and those of a car are the same. That of the RV is designed to be a part of the front part of the vehicle unlike that of a car. It is not your normal windshield, if not set well during fitting, the entire vehicle will not balance. Only allow an experienced hand to fit the glass.

There is this assumption that a carpet is more popular o the RV floor than wood flooring. Times are changing fast and wood is taking shape to be the most preferred. Wood makes the RV feel more like a home than a vehicle hence the trend change. Cleaning wooden floor is much easy and it last longer than a carpet. It is advisable to talk to a professional to help in choosing the best material to use on the floor.

Upgrading the music and entertainment systems generally do not reduce the available space as may be assumed. This should not deter you from improving the RV the way you want. Be creative and live to your desires without fear.

Current electronics like flat screen TVs will take up very minimal space leaving you with enough space to move around and also install other important mobile urgent care equipment. Fix firefighting and first aid equipment just in case and have everything fitted firmly in the RV.
