Check your RV lighting system using hand signals

Bob and Cindy Byrne from St. Louis, Missouri have been RVing eight years. Before they travel Cindy steps to the front of the motorhome and gives Bob hand signals while he runs a light check. Next she goes to the rear of the coach making sure she is in view of Bob’s side mirror and gives him signals as he checks the aft lights. This is an efficient way to ensure your light system is working properly. In addition to checking the lights, Cindy also checks the towed vehicle lights and ensures the vehicle is securely attached to the mother ship. You may want to consider developing a hand signal system like this for yourself. Radios are nice, but hand signals are faster and don’t get garbled. The U.S. Navy uses hand signals even today when maneuvering multi-million dollar aircraft on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Watch the video below to see how they do it.
