If you want to enjoy drinking, cooking, cleaning, and more with water on your RV adventures, you need potable water. Learn more about what this is here.

In RVing and camping, you may come upon terms that may be clear to your everyday RVer or camper, but might as well be Greek to rookie RVers or outsiders.

One of those fail-safes that all RVers should be familiar with is the use of safety chains.

Let’s look of how you should secure your safety chains as well as answer questions on doubling up any safety chains. The safer your RVing practices are, the more fun you can have on the road knowing you and your RV are secure.
