Greetings,
My wife and I are going to make our maiden voyage in our 2011 Vesta 32PBS to the Florida Keys. The trip will require 1,500 miles one way . We plan to drive approximately 430-470 miles per day for three days. On the fourth day we will have a short three hour drive from Miami to Sugarloaf Key. In order to save cost on our food bill, we have prepurchased somewhere around 10 pounds of meat.
Is it best to leave the meat in the freezer of the RV and run the generator every few hours? Best to repackage the meat in the container it was shipped and add more dry ice? Or use a traditional cooler with either dry ice? If you have a suggestion, please be specific.
Should an RV be parked directly on conrete or should our leveling blocks be used to protect the tires from direct contact with concrete? The spot in Florida looks like they have gravel for parking.
How important are tire covers? Any suggestions?
Lastly, is there anything wrong with carrying additional propane tanks in the cargo area below? Obviously, we know they could explode on impact in a collision. However, we don't want to be constantly moving the RV to refill our primary tank. No experience with how long it will last over 21 days. Also, we are not wanting to break any state laws we are unaware of at this time.
Thanks for any help...We are not stupid, just very naive in the Art of RVing the smart way.
