Arriving at a Campground for Newbees

If you start out with a large RV it can be a little intimidating.  Learning all there is to learn about your RV, how to drive your beautiful new home, and of course parking and hooking up at a campground.

If you did not choose a pullthrough lot,  you must always have someone direct you while backing into your lot.  Never back up anywhere without someone directing you. This one basic thing you must remember. 

When positioned in your lot, be sure to level your RV.  Refrigerators do not like not being level. 

Hook up to the electricity.  Be sure the voltage is turned off when inserting your electricity cord.  Once inserted flip the breaker and check to see if you have power.

Hook up your hose to the water supply and to your RV.  Turn the water on as far as it will turn to insure that you will get the most pressure.  Note: when the water is hooked up you will not use the water pump in your RV. 

If your stay is a short one, you will not have to hook up the sewer hose.  You can dump at the next RV campsite you stay.  If your stay is for a few days or more, it is best to hook up the sewer hose.  Attach your stinky slinky to the RV and then put a donut on the other end and put into the sewer.  Do not open the valves to the grey or black water tank until you are ready to dump. Dump from the black tank  first.  After dumping the black tank, close the black tank valve and open the grey tank valve and dump grey water. The grey water will help clean the stinky slinky. 
Hopfully, you have looked into better sewer solutions and gotten a hose the size of a garden hose. The sewer solution is so much better, easier, and cleaner.  Hooking up is much faster.

If  TV is available, hook the coaxial cable to the TV connection.

If you have slide outs, put the slide outs out. Set your microwave. Turn on air or heat.

Now you are good to do whatever you like.  All of the above is not difficult and doesn’t take a lot of time.

Enjoy RV camping
