When driving an RV, it's important to take it slow and be aware of the extra length and weight of the vehicle. When parking, be sure to use caution and look for level and well-lit spots.

A well-lit parking spot can enhance your security and make it easier to see your surroundings at night. It's also a good idea to park in a designated RV spot whenever possible to ensure that you have the necessary hookups and facilities for a comfortable stay.
Total care has to be taken while driving an RV as one cannot take abrupt decisions and drive at higher speeds.
When you need to park, having assistance from an observer from the outside is really helpful. This could be anyone, a fellow traveller, a person at the campground, or even a person walking by. Have them follow you while you move back and forth slowly. It's important to roll down your window so that you can hear their directions. Parking will become simpler with practise, but it is always good to have assistance.
RVs are larger and heavier than standard vehicles, so it's important to be extra cautious while driving. Keep in mind that an RV will take longer to accelerate and brake than a smaller vehicle so when parking, try to find level spots to avoid any potential issues with your RV's leveling system.
If precautions are not taken, you could damage your RV. Any exterior damage is bound to affect the interior too.
If you are new to the RV driving experience, it is better to take a safety course before you embark on your vacation.
That is a cool advice...I have seen some drivers park their vehicle on unstable ground and then struggle to retrieve their trailer. It actually spoils our whole vacation. A little precaution will save a lot of trouble.
