JUST RV IT! Go Have Fun

Recently I began a campaign called JUST RV IT! My goal is to start a new movement among RV owners to get out and use their RVs. It doesn’t matter if you take a short weekend excursion 20 miles away from home, or a 1,000 mile week-long RV adventure, the important thing is you JUST RV IT! Watch Video Now We purchase RVs with thoughts and dreams of going on adventures, exploring the country, and building lasting memories with our family and friends. Too often these dreams get pushed aside because of busy schedules, work committments and a lack of planning. Sadly the enthusiasm and expectations we had for using the RV results in it sitting idle in the backyard. I contribute much of this to a lack of planning. Remember the 5 Ps? Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance! When you plan a trip you take a trip, even if it’s just a quick weekend getaway. Planning your RV trip in advance helps avoid all the reasons we come up with to not use the RV. When you pencil in a date on the calendar you set aside a block of time to use and enjoy the RV. Planning an RV trip in advance gives you time to budget money for the trip, and to make any necessary arrangements to go on the trip. Don’t give up on your dreams of exploring the country in your RV; plan to make your dreams come true. You worked hard to buy the RV, now you need to work on enjoying your RV. Plan your RV trip, load it up, hook it up, fuel it up and JUST RV IT! Enjoy the JUST RV IT Video Happy RV Learning, Mark... Read more

7 Step Process to a Wise RV Buying Decision

Buying an RV is a major purchase decision. We don’t take the decision to buy a house lightly, and buying an RV is no different. You need to do your research and be well informed to make the best buying decision possible. Let’s take a look at my 7 step process to a wise RV buying decision. Step 1: Try before you buy This is perhaps the most important step of the process. It can be difficult to determine if an RV is right for you if you have never used one. Plan a weekend or week-long trip and rent an RV to try it before you buy. Renting an RV can be a good indicator to gauge if an RV is in your future. Another option is to spend a weekend at a campground that rents RV’s already set up on site. My only caution is that you don’t confuse not liking RV’s with not understanding how an RV works. If the rental dealer doesn’t give you a thorough orientation of the RV, or offer an instructional DVD you should consider purchasing a RV training DVD prior to renting the RV. Knowing how everything on the RV works can make the experience much more enjoyable. Step 2: Attend an RV show RV shows, like boat shows, are intended to introduce the new model year RV’s and to help disseminate RV related information to the RV consumer. RV shows are usually scheduled during the slower time of the year, the winter months, to help jump start the selling season. RV dealers from miles away will bring their wares to these shows. For the buyer RV shows put everything you need to see and learn about... Read more

Tips to a Long Lasting Generator

If a generator is properly maintained and cared for it is quite possible it will last longer than the RV itself. Here are some of my tips to a long lasting generator. 1)      Carbon Monoxide Poisoning:  My first tip won’t extend the life of your RV’s generator, but it could save someone’s life. Carbon Monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and deadly. If for any reason your RV does not have a functioning CO gas detector you need to purchase and install one designed for use in Recreation Vehicles (follow the manufacturer instructions for proper installation). Test the CO detector for proper operation prior to each RV trip. Inspect the generator exhaust system before starting the generator, and never run the generator set with a damaged or leaking exhaust system. Do not leave windows open when running the generator and do not park in close proximity to obstacles like buildings or other RVs when running the generator set. Be cautious of other RV owners running their generators close to where you are parked, and never sleep while the generator is running.  2)      Preventive Maintenance: The key to a long lasting generator set is periodic maintenance. When it comes to generator sets we are primarily concerned with two types of maintenance, preventive maintenance and routine maintenance. Both can add years of life to your generator set. Preventive maintenance is maintenance you perform on your generator before a problem exists. These checks are designed to prevent... Read more
