Describe Your RV

Step 1

Describe your RV using colorful yet honest statements. You should include the year, make, model, average yearly usage and any mechanical improvements or major problems.

Step 2

Avoid exaggeration. If the RV has had a recent oil change, don't say it had a "major engine overhaul." Also, if you had the brakes redone 5 years ago, don't say the RV has "new brakes."
