In the 4 years since we began RVing we've learned a great deal. I'd say knowledge wise we are probably on page 3 of a 100 page book.
At least I hope it's only 100 pages. Seriously, it's a bit overwhelming. When I think about purchasing a motorhome, I keep reading about floor plan. That's important but what concerns me is safety. I prefer not to become an RVing statistic.
Today I came across three threads that involve risks that can turn an RVing experience into a nightmare. All are covered quite well in todays forum.
The tire pressure monitoring system is one that I have read about several times but may not think of it when we purchase a motorhome. The other two involve fire risks that are new to me and as such, there is no reason why I would even think of them when purchasing a motorhome. First the IOTA transfer switch, whatever that is, and then the Norcold refrigerator cooling unit.
Last week it was the thread on air brakes. That one moved me back to the gassers camp, for a while. Before that it was propane systems. That one actually eased my mind a bit.
Bottom line, I need a motorhome safety checklist. I've searched the Forum library but didn't find any articles that would serve as a good starting point. My apologies if I have missed it.
