Common RV Myths

RV ownership offers a lifestyle many people dream of living in West Hartford, CT. Not only are you able to go out on the open road traveling, but you can also do so in the comfort of your own home away from home. However, there are several common myths about RVs, and many of those myths are listed below. 

After reading these myths, give us a call at ALLConnecticut Insurance to learn how to protect your RV while out on the open road. 

Myth: Buying used generators with very few hours is a good investment.

Truth: A generator must be used to help keep it running smoothly. If a generator is not used for prolonged periods, the gas starts to gum and varnish the fuel system. It is best to purchase a new generator from a reputable RV parts dealer. 

Myth: RVs get terrible gas mileage.

Truth: This myth is semi-false because RVs are not fuel-efficient, but they get much better gas mileage than most people think. With new advancements, RVs are getting better gas mileage and offering more fuel-efficient options. 

Myth: I need a special incense to drive an RV.

Truth: You do not need a special license to drive a standard RV. However, those purchasing larger RV models may require a special license depending on the size and weight of the unit. 

Myth: I do not need to store my RV during the winter months.

Truth: RVs not used in the winter should be stored appropriately. If the RV is exposed to the elements, long-term can cause damage to the RV.
