Things To Consider Before Buying A Recreation Vehicle

A good example of this is a couple I once had shopping for a travel trailer. The one thing they were sure of was that they wanted bunk beds for their three young children. I had several floor plans available on the lot, with bunk beds, to choose from. I showed them the first model and a few moments later they were convinced that this was the trailer for them. The husband liked the pass through storage compartment that could accommodate his fishing gear and the wife fell in love with the interior colors and décor. They purchased the trailer and I saw them at the dealership after they used it for the first time. They told me all about their first trip and how fun it was, but said they wish they would have given more thought to the floor plan before they bought it. The living room was on one end of the trailer, the kitchen was in the middle, and the bunk beds and bathroom were on the other end. She told me the kids were constantly going from one end to the other and she could never get anything done in the kitchen.

This is just one example, but I'm sure you get the picture. Sometimes we get caught up in the excitement and make hasty decisions that we regret later. Purchasing an RV is a major investment, similar to buying a house. It is after all your home away from home and we need to slowwww down the buying process and make informed decisions.

Rv Awnings

I'm not really sure where to begin. I guess the best place to start is with the dealership. You need to find a reputable RV dealer that is willing to take care of you after the sale. If at all possible talk to some one that has dealt with them before. A reputable dealer wants your business and they want you to return to them for future business. I have been in many dealerships that I wouldn't hesitate to do business with and I have been in others that I couldn't leave soon enough. Don't be afraid to ask them to give you a tour of the dealership. Look at the service department. Do they have certified technicians? Do they have the capability and facilities to do routine maintenance and warranty work on the units they sell? Look at their Parts and Accessory department. Do they offer a good selection of parts and accessories? Do they have a good selection of RVs to choose from? How long have they been selling certain manufacturer brands?

Things To Consider Before Buying A Recreation Vehicle

A reputable RV dealer will in most cases have a reputable, professional sales staff to assist you. If you feel comfortable with the dealership and would like to look at some of the RVs on the lot it's time to find a salesperson. This is not difficult because they will usually find you first. It is extremely important that you feel comfortable with the sales person. If you don't, ask to speak to some body else. Don't be afraid to help the sales person help you. What I mean by this is, tell them what your needs are, what you want and how you plan to use it. If you're going to buy a towable RV and you already have the tow vehicle ask them to explain the weights to you and to show you which RVs are in your weight range. A knowledgeable sales person can be a real asset, especially if you are new to RVing. If you prefer to look by yourself ask them for their business card and write down any questions you have so you can ask them later.

I mentioned a moment ago that you should have some idea of what your needs are, what you want, and how you plan to use it. This is extremely important. Review manufacturer brochures and websites for pertinent information that can assist you in making informed buying decisions. Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

>What type of RV is best suited for you and your family? What type of floor plan will work best for you and your family? Do you plan to travel cross-country with the RV or is it going to be set up at one location and left there? If you're going to be towing the RV is the tow vehicle capable of handling the weight of the RV and do you have the proper hitch work to safely tow it? How many people will be in the RV and what are the sleeping requirements? Is there enough seating space? Do you need a slide out(s) for additional living space? If you get slide outs how is the RV interior affected when they are in the stored, travel position? Is their enough outside storage, and are the storage compartments large enough to accommodate what you plan to take? Is there enough closet, cabinet and drawer space for all of your personal belonging? Are there enough cabinets and drawers in the kitchen? Don't forget about the pots and pans. How much counter space does it have in the kitchen? Is it enough? Where is the dinette table in relation to the range, oven and the refrigerator? Does it make sense? How does the bed feel when you lay down? Is it long enough and wide enough? Can you walk around the entire bed or is it built into the corner of the walls? Are there windows where you want windows? Is the refrigerator large enough? Can you reach the microwave? Is the A/C ducted throughout the unit? If not will it cool the entire unit? Do you prefer a split bathroom where the shower is separate, or a bathroom where everything is together? Can you stand up in the shower? Is the bathroom large enough? Can you sit on the toilet? How much fresh water can you take with you? Is it enough? How large are the gray water and black water holding tanks? Are they large enough for the way you plan to use the RV? How much LP gas does it hold? Is it enough for how you plan to use the RV? Is the RV to big or to small for your needs? If you want a motor home drive it before you buy it. If you're towing a vehicle behind the motor home what are the weight limits? What type of electrical service does the RV have, 30 Amp or 50 Amp? Do you need a generator? If equipped with a TV where is it located in relation to the seating arrangements? How many TV outlets do you want? Do you need a phone jack? Does the RV have an awning? If so, where is it situated, does it interfere with any storage compartments or windows etc? How long is the warranty on the RV? Do you need extended coverage to protect your investment? How is the RV constructed? If it's a travel trailer / 5th wheel do you prefer a corrugated aluminum or fiberglass exterior? How hard is it to keep clean? If you're buying a motor home do you want gas or diesel? Which type is more practical for how you plan to use it?

This list is not all-inclusive but it should help you make a more informed decision before you purchase an RV. Another important consideration is the options on the RV. When a dealer orders an RV they order the options that they feel will help sell the RV based on their experience. On the other hand they can limit the options to make the price more appealing, but it may be some options that you really want or need. Sit down with your sales person and review what options are on the RV and what options are available. If you found a floor plan that you really like but it's not equipped the way you want have the dealer order one for you. I know that waiting is difficult, but remember slowww down, it will be worth the wait to get the RV you really want.

RV Pricing - How To Determine Used RV Prices

Whether you are looking to sell your motor home, travel trailer or 5th wheel it is important that you have a full understanding of what your recreational vehicle or RV is worth. The market changes on a regular basis. Therefore, it is important that you know about rv pricing and used rv prices, so you know how much you can actually sell your RV for.

One of the first conditions that will affect the selling price of your RV is the time of year you are selling it. If you try to sell your RV in the off season, you are less likely to get your desired asking price. Generally, buyers add in the fact they will have to store it for the winter when purchasing an RV. Therefore, they will generally offer you a much lower price. The off season is a bad time to sell your RV because many buyers are not in the market for an RV. In the spring time, buyers are geared up for the upcoming camping season and therefore more likely to pay closer to your RV's worth.

Rv Awnings

The condition of your RV will also dictate its worth. If you are trying to sell a newer RV in mint condition, you are more likely to get a fair price for it. However, if you are trying to sell an RV that is older or one that needs some type of repair, chances are you will not get your full asking price. Therefore, when putting your RV up for sale, make sure you fix any chips in the paint or appliances that are not working.

RV Pricing - How To Determine Used RV Prices

You will want to make sure that your RV is as clean as possible. Remove any clutter from the RV to make sure that it looks as spacious as possible. Do a thorough cleaning of the unit to make it truly shine.

Mileage is another determining factor for your asking price if you are looking to sell a unit that contains a motor. If the mileage is high, your RV will be worth less than if you were to sell one with low mileage.

Another determining factor to consider is what accessories you have in your RV. Accessories such as satellite dishes, A/C units, solar panels and awnings will add extra value to your RV.

If you place an ad to sell your RV, be sure to word it properly. You will want to list all of the wonderful features the unit has. Have a friend read over your advertisement before placing it. They can give you a legitimate idea whether you need to add additional information or remove something that might be distracting to potential buyers.

When pricing your RV do not compare it to other units that dealers are selling. Whenever a dealer is selling a used unit, they must jack the price up in order to make a profit. Therefore, check out a company that specializes in the pricing of RV's by the general public, such as Kelly Blue Book.

Before listing your RV for sale, be sure you have a full understanding of what your unit is worth. The more reasonably priced your unit is, the more likely it is to sell.

Camper Awnings - RV Awnings Review and Why You Need an Awning For Your Camper

Camper awnings are a great way to add a little bit of extra space to your camper or motorhome, and if chosen well, this could also be at a fraction of the cost that you originally envisaged. Most modern day camper van awnings are made of very sturdy materials, are long lasting and are usually very easy to clean and maintain.

Awnings For Campers
Awnings for campers are a great way to add a little extra seating space, working space or even dining space to your cramped quarters in the camper. Choosing a camper van awning that can be easily put up, but is strong enough to withstand the natural elements is important.

Rv Awnings

Fiamma Camper Awnings
A worthy contender in the area is the Fiammastor, an offering from Fiamma. Reputed to be very lightweight, the Fiammastor is easy to put up, and is fully extended in next to no time. There are many conveniences to this camper awning. First off, doors and windows can be kept open even in rainy weather, allowing for air circulation throughout the camper.

Camper Awnings - RV Awnings Review and Why You Need an Awning For Your Camper

In hot weather, simply putting up the Fiammastor camper awning can reduce temperatures inside the camper by as much as twenty degrees. You could even use the Fiammastor camper awning as a form of protection against the weather. Take off your wet gear under the confines of the awning, and keep your camper clean and dry. If you have ever had to take off wet squelching boots inside a camper, you'll know what a veritable treat a dry camper can be!

A simpler variant is the Rhino Rack Sunseeker awning. A rather simpler affair, this model has the important advantages of cost and convenience. A simple two-legged affair, the Rhino Rack Sunseeker simply uses the rail of your camper as support, with two legs on the other end providing cover for whoever happens to be underneath. Very quick to set up and dismantle, the Rhino Rack Sunseeker is the model for you if are on a limited budget, or if space comes at an increasing premium.

Whichever model you end up choosing, you'd do well to carry a camper awning along on your road trips. The weather can be notoriously fickle, and some form of protection from the natural elements is always welcome. So go ahead and get yourself one!

Winter RV Battery Storage

The two most common causes for RV battery failure are undercharging and overcharging.

Undercharging is a result of batteries being repeatedly discharged and not fully recharged between cycles. If a battery is not recharged the sulfate material that attaches to the discharged portions of the plates begins to harden into crystals. Over time this sulfate cannot be converted back into active plate material and the battery is ruined. This also occurs when a battery remains discharged for an extended period of time, like during storage. Sulfation is the number one cause of battery failure. The second leading cause of battery failure is overcharging. Overcharging batteries results in severe water loss and plate corrosion. With that said let's look at how to properly store your RV batteries.

Rv Awnings

Before we talk about storing the batteries we need to talk about battery safety. Lead acid batteries contain sulfuric acid which is extremely corrosive and can cause severe burns or even blindness. And the hydrogen gas that batteries produce when they're charging is very explosive. When you work around batteries you need to wear goggles and gloves, remove all jewelry and do not smoke or use any open flames.

Winter RV Battery Storage

Caution: If you accidentally get battery acid on your skin, flush it with lots of water and if it gets in your eyes flush with low pressure water for 15 minutes and call a doctor.

When you put the RV in long term storage it's a good idea to remove the batteries and put them in storage too. This is quite simple to do. The first thing we want to do is visually inspect the batteries for any obvious damage. Any fluid on or around the battery may be an indication that electrolyte is leaking from the battery. A damaged or leaking battery should be replaced immediately. Whenever you remove any battery always remember to remove the negative terminal or cable first, and then the positive cable.

Battery Tip: When you remove a battery turn off the ignition switch, all electrical switches, and any battery disconnect switches before you disconnect the battery cables. Whenever you remove any battery cables label them first so you remember how they go back on the battery. When you reinstall the battery do it in the reverse order. Install the positive cable first and then the negative cable.

Clean the batteries with a 50/50 mixture of baking soda and water if necessary, i.e. use one pound of baking soda to one gallon of water. Now you can check the electrolyte level in each cell and add distilled water if necessary. The minimum level required is at the top of the plates. If it's below the plates add enough distilled water to cover the plates before you charge the battery.

Test the battery state of charge with a voltmeter or hydrometer and charge any batteries that are at or below 80%. An 80% charge is approximately 12.5 volts for a 12 volt battery and 6.25 volts for a 6 volt battery. Lead sulfation starts when a battery state of charge drops below 80%. After charging the batteries check and fill each cell to 1/8 inch below the fill well with distilled water. Overfilling cells will cause battery acid to overflow.

Caution: Batteries should only be charged in a well ventilated area and keep any sparks and open flames away from a battery being charged. Check the electrolyte levels before and after charging batteries.

A discharged or partially charged battery will freeze much faster than a charged battery. Store the batteries in a cool dry place but not where they could freeze. Batteries in storage will loose a percentage of current through internal leakage. It's not uncommon for a battery to discharge up to 10% a month when it is being stored. Cold temperatures slow this natural discharge process down and warmer temperatures speed the process up. Test the
stored battery state of charge every month and charge batteries that are at or below an 80% state of charge.

Completely charge the batteries before re-installing them next spring. For optimum performance you can equalize the batteries after they are fully charged. An equalizing charge is an increase in charging voltage similar to a bulk charge to convert any crystallized lead sulfate back into its original components.

If you decide to leave the batteries in the RV while it is in storage remember to check the state of charge monthly and charge any batteries at or below an 80% charge. Some RV converter multi-stage chargers and aftermarket chargers are designed to maintain a float charge on the battery without removing the batteries from the RV. Remember, for the converter charger to work the RV will need to be plugged in to electricity.

Happy Camping,
