Getting a Water Softener for Your RV
by Julie T
12/20/2018
When you are traveling in your RV, your water quality can change dramatically depending on which part of the country you are in and what the local water source is. Hard water, for example, occurs when there are high levels of certain minerals in the water that end up leaving deposits once it has evaporated. Drinking hard water does not harm you, but it does have an effect on your RV's plumbing and appliances that use water. Scale grows in the pipes and water lines, and collects on surfaces in high-moisture areas. Hard water is tough on clothes when you wash them and keeps soap from lathering up properly. Luckily, there are portable RV water softeners which can remove these substances from your water.
Why Use LED Bulbs in Your RV?
by Julie T
9/27/2018
The standard lighting that comes with your RV often ends up creating excess heat, and can go out immediately with no warning. If you find yourself often having to replace your RV's bulbs, perhaps it’s time you upgraded to using LEDs. Referring to Light Emitting Diodes, LEDs are becoming a more popular choice for RVers, and can actually save you money in the long run. They not only can replace incandescent lights, but fluorescent and halogen ones as well.
Maintaining RV Batteries for Travel in Cooler Weather
by Julie T
8/30/2018
With Labor Day just around the corner, and most kids back in school, summer is winding down for many of us. While the warm weather isn’t gone yet, the cooler weather isn’t too far away. This makes maintaining your RV batteries especially important, particularly if you still plan to travel during the fall & winter months. Trying to jump your RV battery in a remote area during a non-traditional camping season is not the ideal kind of adventure.
Electrical Hazards and Your RV
by Julie T
7/26/2018
Severe weather is common in many areas at this time of year. However, lightning isn’t the only potential problem when it comes to electrical hazards and your RV. They can come from unpredictable conditions at the campground as well. You may not have control over the external electrical hazards that can be found at a campground, but there are ways to prevent major problems.
RV Sanitation Tools for the Busy Travel Season
by Julie T
6/28/2018
Now that it’s officially summer, you may be busy figuring out your RV travel plans, or even gone on some camping trips already. If you have a busy summer RV travel season planned, you’ll want to make sure you avoid any unnecessary problems. While it's not a topic that most RV travelers enjoy thinking about, RV sanitation is important. Obviously, this becomes a bigger issue the more often you travel, as the facilities will be used a lot more often. Here are some tips on supplies and equipment you’ll need to make sure you have for your next camping trip.
Staying Comfortable in Your RV This Summer
by Julie T
4/26/2018
The hot summer RV season isn’t too far away! Maybe you are already experiencing summer-like temperatures where you are. Now’s a great time to make sure that you’ll stay cool in your RV when the hot weather does arrive. From warm summer nights to humid rainstorms, there are several ways to beat the heat in your RV, which don’t always require you to run your air conditioner.
Go "Green" on Your Next RV Trip
by Julie T
3/29/2018
Staying environmentally conscious while RV-ing isn’t necessarily a contradiction in terms. Taking an RV trip can actually be one of the eco-friendlier ways to travel, particularly when compared to flying somewhere and staying in a hotel. RVs are being designed nowadays to create less of a carbon footprint than RVs in the past. They typically use less water than homes do and can travel with more people than a smaller vehicle on a road trip. In addition, most likely you take your motorhome to natural spots. You'll probably be more apt to want to see it preserved for future generations.
RV Storage & Organization Options
by Julie T
1/25/2018
Staying organized & making the most out of your storage space can be enough of a challenge at home, but can be even trickier with the limited space in an RV. Never fear! There are a number of RV accessories available that help you make the most out of what you do have. From collapsible items to compact storage solutions, with a little creativity, you can keep your motorhome free of clutter.
