Don't forget to wave when you pass other Motorhomers!

You won't regret it - especially the first morning that you wake up to heavy rain and all you have to do is drive away, warm and dry. (*Well, after you've unhooked the EHU, turned off the gas, closed the top vents, emptied your loo and grey water - but you get my drift.)

*..and, with front wheel drive, if pitched on grass, not forgetting possibly waiting to be towed off?...

P&K, when pitching on grass, I'd recommend just getting into the habit of rolling  the wheels onto "spreader boards" or grip mats of some sort..and if possible try to pitch with the drive wheels nearest to the site's roadway (The weather may be fine when you turn up, and the above may seem OTT....but......)

..and although a bit early to "worry" about it too much yet, it helps to familiarise yourself with the water system drain down procedure, so as to avoid frost damage to pipes, boiler, pump taps etc

Also keep an eye on your vehicle(and axle!) weights because when fully loaded with kit'n'clobber  and "must have" accessories,  it's not unusual for some coach-built motorhomes to be overloaded(usually the rear axel on a tail-long MH).

Have fun  

 (...and don't forget to make time to use it! ..a good many end up being expensive garden ornaments).
