Creating Storage Space in Your RV
by Julie T
12/19/2019
One of the limitations that comes with RV travel is finding places to store all your gear and stay organized, as there isn't as much available storage space as there would be at home. Depending on the size of your camper, you may need to get creative in order to make the most of the space that you have. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to create storage space for your RV, along with the right accessories to help you out.
Why You Should Use an RV De-ionizing System
by Julie T
9/26/2019
When you go to wash your RV, it can be a time consuming effort, especially if you have to towel dry it afterward. Of course, you can skip that step, but unless you have an RV de-ionizing system, not drying your motorhome can leave spots behind. That defeats the whole purpose of washing your RV in the first place! If you are in an area with particularly hard water, such as the Southwest or Great Lakes region, the advantage of having a de-ionizer for your RV becomes clear. But even if you are in an area with softer water, you still can't always be certain of your water source.
Improving Your RV Suspension System with MOR/Ryde
by Julie T
8/29/2019
The suspension system on your RV can potentially wear out, just as with most other vehicle parts. A better suspension system reduces the stress on other parts of the RV including the frame, plumbing, tires, and hitch. By smoothing over most impacts from the road, it provides a more comfortable ride for you and your passengers. It also comes into play for RV trailers when considering their load capacity. Having a newer suspension system may increase it. You should check out your RV's suspension system at least two times a year or more, if you travel more often. Things like worn out parts or a trailer that does not sit correctly can both be warnings that the suspension system may need repair or replacement.
Protecting Your RV & Towed Vehicle During Travel
by Julie T
7/25/2019
When towing a vehicle behind your RV, it’s important to keep in mind that any road debris may cause surface damage to your vehicle if left unprotected. This can include loose gravel and pebbles, small rocks, or other material that can bounce off the road from your RV or even from passing vehicles. Larger pieces of debris even have the potential to crack or chip your towed vehicle’s windshield. This problem only increases during inclement weather when the roads are wet or muddy. Fear not, however! There are several types of products available that can prevent this from becoming an issue.
Why Hydraulic RV Leveling Systems are Beneficial
by Julie T
4/25/2019
Whether your Class A motorhome came with an RV hydraulic leveling system, or if you need to upgrade or replace it, a leveling system offers several benefits. Compared to other methods, they can provide a more convenient option as opposed to using wood planks or blocks. Most can be operated from a control panel on your dash inside your RV. You can never be sure of how level the area will be at the campground or campsite. Keeping your coach level not only provides comfort while sleeping, but also keeps appliances such as your RV fridge running properly.
Keeping Your RV Secure During Camping Season
by Julie T
3/28/2019
Keeping your RV secure at the campground or RV park goes a long way toward making sure your road trip goes as planned. There are a number of things you can do to protect your RV and possessions, particularly if you are in an unfamiliar area. Owning an RV or camper is a large investment, and you’ll want to take steps to ensure that it stays safe. Here are some simple ways to increase security around your RV this camping season.
Why You Need A Dehumidifier for Your RV
by Julie T
2/28/2019
No matter if your RV has been in storage, or if you use it full time, humidity can become an issue in your RV. Even with the colder, drier air found in the winter months, if your motorhome stays closed up for an extended time moisture can still build up inside. Humidity levels can rise due to several causes, such as cooking inside, taking a shower, outside weather, or even your own breathing. Anytime water, especially hot water, is used in your RV, the potential for high humidity is there. Just like in your home, this can lead to wood rot and metal corrosion in your furniture, walls, floors, and the vehicle structure itself. It also causes the growth of mold & mildew, which can become a health hazard, especially for those who are allergic. Warm, damp air in your RV can also attract certain bugs and insects.
The Importance of RV Water Filters
by Julie T
1/31/2019
Last month we talked about using water softeners for getting rid of minerals that may be in the water, but that's not the only step towards water purification. Because your water source changes at every destination, having filtered water is a necessity while on an RV trip. For one thing, you may not know what’s in your water. Water quality varies depending on where you are in the country and where the campground is getting it from. You don’t want to risk having your drinking water be full of sediment, which is not only a hazard to you, but can also collect in your plumbing system. There are different types of RV water filters and which one you need can depend on how often you travel and your own preferences.
