        A good TPMS is the best thing you can have for tire pressure. It checks it constantly and will let you know right away if it goes out of range.

            @kdewall – sound advice! lol

            I had my eye on the Camco Rhinoflex since they have it in stock at my local Walmart for $36. Seemed to good to be true, but I’ll definitely have to check it out now. Thanks

                I don’t have any brand to recommend but make sure you get an amplified antenna for the most channels/quality reception.

                        Great tips! Having lived in Florida, I’m no stranger to hurricanes. I would add to keep up with the storm by using a hurricane tracker app on your phone. It’s also recommended to leave 72 hours before the hurricane hits to stay ahead of evacuation traffic. Aim to evacuate to a destination about an hour or so outside the hurricane’s path, depending on its strength and direction.

                        If the hurricane has hit, do not attempt to take your RV. You will likely face ridiculous traffic and strong winds, making travel dangerous. Like Tory said, make sure your RV is insured, as it can be replaced (you can’t be). Instead, take important documents like insurance papers, extra cash if possible, pets, water, and nonperishable food with you.

                            I stored an extra in our basement when we went boondocking. I doubt the basement is sealed tight enough to contain the gas if there’s a leak.

                                        Ouch. I have the height of my RV on my windshield so I can quickly glance at it when needed. I think I got that tip from this site.

                                                I can tell you that the ac silencer works pretty good. Though it wasn’t cheap, around $200 when I got mine. But worth it for your sanity
