Can you use the slide out on a motorhome while driving?

While the motorhome is in motion, you should NEVER use any of the slide outs. Even if you are simply looking for an extra inch of space while traveling do NOT extend the slide-out. Like other vehicles, motorhomes are designed aerodynamically and opening the slide-out will throw off the aerodynamic balance.

Can a Class A motorhome really sit still?

RV’s like ours, especially Class A motorhomes are really meant to be driven. The engines, tires and just about everything else don’t really “like” to sit still. Our two months at Bandon is really not that long, but we still wanted to prepare our girl for the best time we could.

What are the problems with an RV engine?

One of the big issues with engines that sit around is fuel problems. Both gas and diesel have their individual problems: -> Gasoline degrades with time and can become “stale”. Ironically the newer gasolines, especially the “cleaner” fuels with oxygenate additives degrade even faster than the old formulas. Heat and moisture accelerate the process.

What happens to the interior of an RV?

One of the less serious issues is the exterior of your RV fading, and perhaps the interior too depending on how much sun your RV gets over the winter. Also scary is how the seals of your vehicle can begin breaking down if they drink in enough sun.
