when

ALL UNDER CONTROL

Remember,

your

new

motor

home

is a large

vehi-

cle

and requires

different

driving

skills

than

a

passenger car.

Later

in

this

we'll

outline

some

tips

on

how

to

become

familiar

with

the

handling

characteristics

and

driving

techniques

that

you

need

to

know

to

be a safe

motor

home

driver.

Of

course,

don't

overlook

the

laws

of

your

state

or

province

that

govern

driving

a

motor

home. Your

state

or

provincial

Motor

Vehicle

Department

can

provide

you

with

the

that

spell

responsibilities

as a

INSPECT

AND

MAINTAIN

Follow a

consistent

schedule

of

inspection

and

maintenance

for

your

home.

Your

continuing

safety and

depend on it.

This

includes

a

section

outlining

Adherence

to

these

schedules

will

minimize

the

possibility

of

of

any

of
