During an RV trip, it’s possible to be on the road long after the sun has gone down. Maybe you couldn’t leave town until after your work day or your child’s school day ended. Maybe you are heading out for an adventure, such as stargazing. Whatever the situation, it’s important to set yourself up for a safe journey.
Here at Bullyan RV, we strive to make your life easier. We gathered up the following strategies for safely driving a camper at night.
Keep Your Windshield Clean
Before the RV Trip
A dirty windshield will make it more difficult to see, especially at night. Before you set out on your RV trip, make sure to clean your windshield inside and out. All you need is glass cleaner and paper towels. You can also use newspapers to polish any streaks away.
Remember to check your wiper fluid levels before you leave town. Fill up as needed.
Once your wiper blades begin losing cleaning effectiveness, replace them.
During the RV Trip
As you drive, you will want to keep your windshield free of condensation. Depending on the weather, you will want to run either your heating or cooling system.
Don’t Drive Drowsy
It can be tempting to push on through the night, but driving drowsy is incredibly dangerous.
If you are feeling tired, switch drivers if possible. If that’s not an option, pull over to rest or drink a caffeinated beverage to help you stay alert.
Drive Slowly
Whenever possible, drive below the speed limit when it’s dark out. This will give you more time to react if something unexpected happens.
