Make Sure Everything is in Order When Hooking Up Your RV

Arriving at a new RV campground, especially after a long drive, can make even the most seasoned RVers overlook some things when hooking up your RV. At Frog City RV Park in Lafayette, LA, we’ve seen it all. That’s why we’ve put together a list of common things RVers tend to forget when setting up, so you can ensure your stay is as smooth as possible.

 

Water pressure measurement
Checking Water Pressure

It’s easy to overlook the water pressure in the excitement of arriving at a new RV park. Many RVers hook up their water hose without considering that high pressure can cause leaks or damage to their system. Always use a water pressure regulator when connecting to the water supply at any RV campground.

Securing Your Sewer Hose

Make sure both ends of your sewer hose are tightly connected—one to your RV and the other to the sewer connection at Frog City RV Park. Double-check that everything is secure before using your facilities, as a loose hose can result in unpleasant surprises!

 

Electrical box
Power Source Check

While connecting to the park’s power source may seem straightforward, it’s important not to skip a few quick safety checks. Always verify that your RV’s electrical system is compatible with the RV campground’s power supply. Plugging into the wrong amperage can cause tripped breakers or even damage to your RV’s electrical system.

 

Leveling a camper
Leveling Your RV

Take the time to level your RV once you’re parked, and use leveling blocks or built-in jacks to make adjustments. Many forget to carry extra blocks, leading to an uneven RV. A stable, balanced RV leads to a more enjoyable experience for everyone.
