Fall, 2009!

SUMMER, 2010

Is it hot enough for you yet?! I am thinking it's time for Fall and Winter!!  Just as you would think, we have been extremely busy with air conditioners, refrigerators and awnings.  There's always myriad things that can go wrong with an RV even when, it seems, it is just sitting and waiting to again be used!  I cease to be amazed that we as seasoned RVers wait until two days before (or the day before) our scheduled vacation, to pull out the ol' RV and get her ready for vacation.  Finding several "things" wrong, we scramble like crazy to get repairs done so we can leave on time.  One of the reasons I write this Tech Tip section is to help you understand that part of the responsibility of owning an RV is the regular maintenance and "tweeking" that we MUST do to keep our RVs ready to go and in peak performance condition.  Believe me when I say that it is a pure joy to be able to hook up and go!   ---without having to worry about the tires----worry about the plumbing---worry whether the roof will leak and all the other "worries" of which we are so good at coming up with.  A good policy----"If it breaks---fix it NOW or call some one to fix it."  Don't  put it off til later or til you get home, because you're going to forget it and the next time you want to use the RV.......!  Do your occasional walk-around and go through your maintenance checklist once in a while.  Spend a few few hours per month with your RV just running the systems and making sure everything looks, feels, smells, and sounds okay.  If you have doubts then call a Tech and ask him or her questions that you may have.  Always best to be safe than sorry!

     If you haven't had your RV out yet this year, then NOW is the time to do your checklist for your next trip.  DON'T WAIT til the last minute.  Here's why:  As an example;  I am booking calls one full week out because many more people are out RVing this year than previously----I guess because of the economy.  Most RV dealers are scheduled out for repairs for over one month!  Rather than taking the long vacation and renting condos or hotel rooms, people are using their RV's this year to save $$$$$ on their vacation(s).  Another reason is that instead of trading it in on a newer model, people are 'fixing them up' for another year or so---until the economy turns around!  You will be hard-put to find immediate service for those little 'vacation-spoilers' that you need to get repaired before you can leave with your RV.  So act now!......then you will be able to "hook-up" and GO!

I left the "critter guard" screens info on for another season so you will have access to the info to prevent some of the issues that insects can cause.

            Happy Camping!!

       See you 'on-the-road'!   and remember, call me if you need me!
