FIRST SHORT TRIPSAfter becoming familiar with the vehicle’s systems and going through test runs on items such as LiquidPetroleum Gas (LPG), it is time to take one or two short test trips, including spending the night at acampground not too distant from your home….. you might want to go back and get something you forgot ordidn’t know you needed.These short trips could be considered “shake down cruises” or “familiarization flights”. The experience gainedon these short trips will be worth the time and money to you… Time and money spent either needlessly, takingsomething that takes up space or the time and money spent trying to obtain an item you hadn’t counted onneeding prior to leaving home base on an extended trip miles from home and in unfamiliar surroundings.It is understandably upsetting having to purchase a needed item on the road knowing that one is sitting athome unused.Not all RVers need the same equipment or supplies. For one thing, North America presents a wide variety ofclimates and terrain. For another, personal needs and taste come into play.Our suggestion is to take a weekend trip to a camp location that is close to home. Be sure to have a note padand pen available to write down items you feel will be needed in the future as well as equipment that you mayneed to learn more about.Also, if most of your trips will be made in the summer and your shake down trip is made during some otherseason, there will be some adjustments to take into consideration. Talk to other RVers and learn from theirexperiences.If you are an experienced RVer it is still necessary to thoroughly read this manual. New and improvedequipment is coming onto the market every day and, at the same time, not every motorhome manufacturerbuilds vehicles the same way.This manual is packed with detail, however, after you have worked with the various systems during a couple ofshake down trips, you will be capable of conducting a pre-trip check in less time than it takes to read thismanual.When preparing for your trip always consider vehicle weight when loading the RV.Because of different RV models Mandalay manufactures and the numbers of options available, your RV maynot include all of the systems in this manual.Mandalay 3-3 |
