RVs Can Be Unpredictable—But Operator Error is the #1 Cause

RVs are amazing machines that let you take the comforts of home on the road, but just like a house—or any vehicle—they sometimes need extra effort. With multiple complex systems onboard, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and mechanical components, things can occasionally go sideways. That’s just part of the reality of RV travel.

However, the vast majority of issues people experience on the road are due to operator error, not mechanical failure. Many problems can be traced back to something simple: a switch not flipped, a breaker tripped, a valve in the wrong position, or a system not being used as intended.
