With several states decreasing the "state inspection" requirements we are seeing a greater need to help travelers understand the potential hazards involved with towing and using a towable recreational vehicle.

In 2020, the US Fire Administration published a data snapshot indicating on average there are 15 deaths, 125 injuries, and over $60million worth of damage to RVs due to fire each year.

Traffic accident data is difficult to track and research. But depending on the source, estimates include about 500,000 accidents, 75,000 hospitalizations, and 25 deaths involving towable RVs every year.

There are some simple things to think about and physically verify on your rig to help reduce the odds of becoming one of those statistics. We will meet you at your rig, with your tow vehicle, and show you how to conduct your own annual audit of these checkpoints.

When Geoffrey's not working on his rig, he's probably hiking or working at his full-time job with a functional safety systems engineering consulting company.
