Staying Safe While Traveling In An RV

By Maryl Joop


Do your research

Renting an apartment or house for the first time can be a challenging experience because of the many responsibilities associated with it. To put it into perspective you are basically paying for the right to use a living space that is owned by another person. There is a major difference between ownership and renting. Renters get into to trouble and have problems with landlords or managers when they break or treat the property like their home. Now treating an apartment or rental property as if it was a home owned by the renter can lead to property damage and even eviction.

* Check the tires for ware if it is a used motorcycle. If the tread is thin or a nail or other object is stuck in the tire it could mean paying extra for new tires and potentially having an accident.

* Check the chain, handle bars and safety features to make sure the bike is safe and road worthy. This is still good to do on a brand new motorcycle as well.

Don't take your chances just because you have an RV. Stay safe and check the weather before you even make your camping plans. If there's a storm, stay home.

Now that we have discussed the relationship of responsibility between the tenant and landlord lets turn our attention to some tips that will help renters:

Another thing to research is the type of motorcycle you want, and how it would benefit you. Some people may want the bike just to drive around town as an extra fun toy. Others it is strictly recreational and may need to meet certain safety standards and other requirements. And maybe other people want it to be their commuter from work to home during the week. Whatever your reasoning you need to find a bike that will fit your needs; from a certain brand to specifications of models.

* Renter's Insurance: Most apartment communities will require renters insurance and it is usually a liability up to $100,000.00. The best place to check for a renter's policy is to couple it with your current auto policy. This will give you a discount and save you time and money by paying a small monthly payment each month. Basically, renter's insurance is for your own protection and the landlord's as well. If any damage did happen to the apartment or rental property you would able to pay for it if you were at fault. The owner's insurance policy will not cover your possessions if they are destroyed or stolen. Sao make sure that you get a policy to protect your interests.

The next step is to define what type of a driver you are. Like the section above we discussed the need to research different types of motorcycles and their functions. Keep in mind that like a car you will be required to register and insure your bike. You will also need to have a motorcycle license. This information may not apply to an advanced rider. But just like a car it is important to know the laws and safety precautions. It is also important to know your level of experience and how fast you want to drive. If you are less confident than you will want to get a more balanced bike. You probably wouldn't want to get a bullet bike or racing bike. Recreation bikes can include dirt bikes which are specifically designed for driving on dirt and sand dunes. Other bikes are made specifically for the streets. Again it really comes down to how much you want to spend, what type of driver you are, and finally what are you going to be using the bike for.
