Buying RV Is Now Easy

January 22, 2009 at 6:27 am (RVs)

If a new or used RV for sale is in your future…here are a few tips. Buying a new or used motor home, fifth wheel, travel trailer, or folding camper RV is always exciting as we anticipate places we will visit and the new friends we will meet in our new RV or camper… It is exciting and it should be as the RV industry is indeed “alive and well”, sales continue to be strong, and the future looks bright as well. RV’ing is a tremendous form of recreation and is a great way for families to get away together.

As an ,RV technician, have a unique perspective see these buyers six months to a year later when the euphoria of the buying process is long past and the reality has set in. By this time RV owners have a much better understanding of what they bought, mistakes which were made in the buying process, and the things they would do differently if they ever have the opportunity again.

Here are some of the major mistakes have encountered passing them on to interested RV’ers to help you avoid and some of the most common pitfalls motor home, fifth wheel, and travel trailer buyer’s encounter.

Buying the wrong RV heads up the list and explains why there are so many late model RV’s on the market. When it comes to supply and demand there is no shortage of used RV’s on the market. So why do people buy wrong? The answer is simple. The glitz and glamour of RV dealer showrooms and lots can easily sidetrack unsuspecting buyers away from their true needs when they see RV’s which look better than their own homes. In short, “emotion overtakes logic” leading some to buy the wrong RV, usually one which is too large for ones true needs.

Another pitfall is going through the selection and buying process too quickly. Buying an RV is a major expenditure so taking ones time is only prudent both with the decision of RV type and size but also of delivery. Those who “think” they need their RV tomorrow and coerce their dealer into delivering it too quickly as making a big mistake which will result in “down time”(time in which your RV will not be available to you for your use) in the future. If you need it tomorrow it only means you did not begin your search process soon enough.

Another major pitfall is buyers conducting a “poor” inspection of their RV. It does not matter if you are buying a new or used RV for sale, an “in depth” inspection is crucial. After all even if you’re buying new do you want an RV assembled on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon? Trust me, you do not, and an in depth inspection will reveal both poor design and any lack of attention to detail in the final assembly process.

Last but certainly not least is the fallacy of placing too much stock in RV manufacturer’s warranties. they’re not important because they are, but believe it or not , in some cases three years is not enough time to make some of the necessary repairs on some RV’s. The truth of the matter is your new RV should not have to go back to the dealer more than twice in the first year to eighteen months. The reality is people get “worn down” dragging their RV back to the dealership repeatedly while also loosing the right to use their RV as it sits on the RV dealer’s lot. An in depth inspection and slowing down the buying process can alleviate much of these types of problems. we continue to be amazed at the number of people who buy RV’s with things that simply are not working. Sometimes its naiveté as many assume too much.

One last word about buying used. Some of the best deals out there are used RV’s (the seller eats the depreciation, not you) and an in depth inspection goes a long way in reducing ones risk when buying used. You just have to know how to do it. If you feel you are not knowledgeable or experienced enough to be able to do this let me assure you there is a lot of good information available to help you. I encourage you to seek it out and do your homework because it is time and effort, which most assuredly will pay off. That is my wish for you that all of us will be “happy campers”.

Renting An RV In Alaska

January 8, 2009 at 6:12 am (RVs)
Tags: ,

Alaska may be the last frontier, but the cost of owning your own RV may seem like its own insurmountable boundary, never mind the drive to Alaska. In renting an RV in Alaska, you can travel when and where you want, and at a fraction of the cost of buying an RV. Alaskan RV rentals offer the best way to experience the Alaskan experience.

The most popular RV rental is the class-C motor home. It’s easy to drive — making it perfect for the first time RV renter — and has comforts of home like beds, a toilet, shower, heat and air-conditioning, refrigerator, and a microwave. These may be especially nice in the Alaskan wilderness. If you want a slightly more rustic experience, consider renting a Folding camper, travel trailer, or truck trailer.

Some rental agencies provide complementary cooking and bedding sets, a TV and DVD player for when you are tired of looking at the Alaskan wilderness and BBQ sets with lawn chairs for Alaskan cookouts. If you don’t want these extras, shop around for more basic, and possibly cheaper, RV rentals.
class-cPricing varies throughout Alaskan RV rental agencies. The off-season, when rates are the cheapest, starts at the beginning of September and runs through the end of May. Some agencies charge a base fee of around $150 a day with unlimited miles within Alaska. Other agencies have a cheaper base fee starting around $70 a day, but charge an additional fee per mile, usually between 15 and 20 cents.

Most Alaskan RV rental agencies provide one-way rentals, but you will have the best luck finding an RV in Anchorage, where the majority of RV rental agencies are based. Start your search on the Internet to find the Alaskan RV rental agency that will serve your needs the best. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, especially about insurance and extra costs like cleaning fees. Have fun exploring the last frontier.

Diffrent RVs Are Here

December 9, 2008 at 10:29 am (RVs)
Tags: ,

If you’re in the market for an RV, you might just be surprised at the wide variety of recreational vehicles on the market. While RVs are intended, by and large, for the same purpose; they come in all different sizes, models and equipped with various features. Before you hit the road shopping for your first RV, it’s a good idea to become familiar with the wide gamut of recreational vehicles.

A Class A RV is a motor home that in which the cab is actually a part of the coach, or ‘living area.’ These vehicles may have either a diesel or gasoline engine; which is normally located in the front of the vehicle. You will typically find that a Class A motor home will have a bit more space than other models; however you must keep in mind that when traveling with this type of RV you will either have to bring along another means of transportation or suffer with having to drive the RV itself for basic errands away from the campsite.

A Class B RV, on the other hand, is more of a motor home that resides on the body of a converted ban. This model of motor home typically contains a section that will slide out once you have set up camp in order to allow for additional space. While the Class B RV generally contains all the comforts of home such as cooking, toilet and shower facilities as well as heating and air conditioning; this type of RV is really best geared for shorter duration trips due to the fact that it does not typically contain a lot of additional space. The upside to the Class B motor home is that because it is built on the frame of a converted van it is often much easier to maneuver than other RV models and you won’t need to park it at the back of the lot when you stop at a restaurant or shopping center.

The Class C RV is similar to the Class A in that the cab is contained within the body of the vehicle. This type of motor home frequently features a compartment located over the cab; quite often containing a sleeping loft. Cooking, shower and toilet facilities are also included with the Class C RV and depending on the size of the model, additional sleeping space may also be included.

Between the Class C RV and the traditional travel trailers falls a mid-category of pop-up tent trailers. These models are generally inexpensive and quite portable due to the fact that they are collapsible. They can be hauled by a standard vehicle and feature sleeping areas that can be pulled out on both sides of the trailer with a limited amount of living space in the center and basic cooking facilities.

Travel trailer are another form of RVs for sale; however, they are somewhat different than the above mentioned classes because they must be hooked up to a secondary vehicle and pulled to the site. These models come in a wide range of sizes and lengths; varying from 12 foot models all the way up to 35 foot trailers. The smaller models are intended more for short term trips and weekends with basic accommodations while the larger and more luxurious models are well suited for full time occupation.

The largest type of RVs are known as fifth wheel RV. These models are similar to travel trailers in that they must be towed; however, the difference lies in the fact that the vehicle towing the RV hauls it with the hitch located over the rear driving axles. This type of RV is also well suited for longer trips and typically contains luxurious appointments.

What Does The Recreational Vehicle Supply List Look Like

December 5, 2008 at 9:36 am (RVs)
Tags: , ,

If you are a person who loves vacationing and long distance travel, then you would be the right type of person who would love to have a recreational vehicle, since this would provide you with the basic comforts and amenities required for you to live ‘on wheels’. A well-maintained RV is actually as good as a second home; with the advantage that you can take it anywhere you like to go.

What Type of Recreational Vehicle for sale Supply Do You Know About?

The RV is usually designed to become a second home for people who travel for indefinite periods, in hostile habitats, and/or rural places where accommodations are not easy to find. The RV will provide all the regular amenities of a home, such as gas stove, bed, bath, toilet, kitchen, fridge, DVD, music system and so on.

Depending on the budget and the RVs also come equipped with their own pedal power generation system, water harvesting system, radio communication, dish antenna and TV, computer with internet and other such amenities that can enable your independent function despite the local provisions.

When you decide to go for the purchase of a RV it would be good if you run a perfunctory glance at the recreational vehicle supply available in the market. Besides the different types of self-contained motor homes there are three different options.

First, the travel trailer is a type of RV that is usually bigger and heavier than all the other RVs. It is usually pulled along with the help of a special hitch connection with the car/ truck you are driving.

Second, the truck camper is attached to the body of the car by means of a cradle; but it is smaller and becomes part of the body of the car/ truck

Finally, there is the fifth wheel RV. As the name suggests, this type of RV is suspended over a fifth set of wheels while the front is attached to the main vehicle.

The type of recreational vehicle supply available in the market of a certain region is very dependent and limited to the demand of that region. The choice of recreational vehicle supply also depends upon the region’s natural habitat. When the natural habitat is friendly and invites tourists, people tend to come and plan for longer stays, time during which some people decide to buy an RV. This too, in whatever small measure it may be, influences the recreational vehicle supply of the area.

Folding Camper Are Here

November 17, 2008 at 6:15 am (RVs)
Tags: , ,

A lightweight unit with sides that collapse for towing and storage, the folding camper trailer combines the experience of open-air tent camping with sleeping comforts, basic conveniences and weather protection found in other RVs. A folding camper is around 15 to 23 feet (when opened) and is available for an average price of $5,300. Folding Campers can range from $3,300 to $10,500.

The Pop-Up trailer, also known as a Tent or Folding Camper Trailer, is a great lightweight unit offering the experiences of tent camping with some at-home comforts. These units are smaller and less expensive than travel trailer while offering many of the same conveniences.

Folding Campers are virtually tents on wheels, with collapsible sidewalls made of canvas or, in some cases, fiberglass. These units normally do not offer the range of conveniences found in other types of RVs for sale. They generally have a 2 or 3 burner stove, sink with cold water only and an icebox. Storage space is also at a premium. However, some high-end models of folding campers now offer more at-home conveniences, such as a refrigerator, heat and air conditioning, hot water, holding tanks (although smaller) and even shower/toilet facilities.

The sleeping areas in the folding camper are on either end of the camper and are much like a tent except that you’re sleeping on a mattress and not the ground or a cot or an inflatable mattress. In a folding camper and you have the benefit of heating or air conditioning if you have those features in your pop-up. The mattresses in pop-up campers are often thin and not nearly as comfortable as a regular mattress. Many folding camper trailers also offer a slide-out for the dinette, increasing the already spacious living area.

Despite the lack of some features, Folding Campers have many benefits. They are usually inexpensive, for those on tighter budgets. Many units can be towed with a passenger car, eliminating the need for a truck or SUV. The low profile and lighter weight also saves on gas when towing. The size of folding campers makes storing the units easy when not in use and these units can easily sleep up to ten people.

The Folding Camper Trailer is a great “starter” RV, especially for growing or young families. It is also perfect for any camper who prefers getting into more primitive settings. It folds down into a compact, lightweight towing RV. You get the outdoor, fresh-air experience; but sleep off the ground with RV comfort.

A folding camper trailer offers increased storage, more headroom with great features and amenities. If you are looking forward to camp out, just send in your specifiations and you will soon get a quote for a folding camper trailer. We offer a variety of folding campers with different floor plans to satisfy your specific requirements.

Finding the Right RV

November 6, 2008 at 7:29 am (RVs)
Tags: , , , , , ,

How do you go about buying the right RV? Most people understand how to buy a car or truck, but they’re not sure which RV best suits their needs.RV Insurance Coverage: Have you looked at your recreational vehicle insurance policy lately? If you own a motorhome or travel trailer, you should occasionally review your RV insurance policy. Why? Because you could be over-paying for your motorhome insurance coverage, and not getting the specialized coverage offered by companies that specialize in motor home or travel trailer insurance . RV America knows how to insure RVs.

“How To Buy An RV Without Getting Ripped- off!” cuts to the core of the matter.”The correct order for choosing an RV is as follows: 1) type, 2) size, 3) quality, 4) floor plan, and 5) price.” The rest of this article will discuss RV types.

The TYPE and USE of the RV make a good marriage. When you consider how you will USE the RV and consider planning ahead five years, the specific TYPE of RV you’ll need becomes clear. Renting an RV before buying is an excellent idea.

What is an RV? According to the RVIA definition, “A recreation vehicle, or RV, is a motorized or towable vehicle that combines transportation and temporary living quarters for travel, recreation and camping. RVs do not include mobile homes, off-road vehicles or snowmobiles. RVIA classifies all RVs into two groups: towables and motorized. (Travel Trailer or motorhome)

Towables, according to RVIA, are “…designed to be towed by a motorized vehicle (auto, van, or pickup truck) and of such size and weight as not to require a special highway movement permit. It is designed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational camping or travel use and does not require permanent onsite hook-up .” The towables include conventional travel trailers, fifth-wheel travel trailer, folding camping trailer and the truck camper.

Motorized RVs are “A recreational camping and travel vehicle built on or as an integral part of a self-propelled motor vehicle chassis . It may provide kitchen, sleeping, and bathroom facilities and be equipped with the ability to store and carry fresh water and sewage . Motorized RVs include motorhome (Class A), Van Camper (Class B), Motorhome (Class C) and conversion vehicles.

The size, shape and configuration of these RVs will be referred to frequently. For now, a brief description is all that is required. The Conventional Travel Trailer will cost about $18,000. The length ranges from 12 to 35 feet. It is towed by means of a bumper or frame hitch attached to the towing vehicle.

The Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer has a wide cost range, from $25,000 to over $150,000. RVIA defines it as “….can be equipped the same as the conventional travel trailer but is constructed with a raised forward section that allows a bi-level floor plan. This style is designated to be towed by a vehicle equipped with a device known as a fifth wheel hitch.”

The least expensive RV is the Folding Camping Trailer, or Tent Trailer. With a price range from less than $5,000 to about $18,000 , it is designed for temporary living quarters. The quarters are mounted on wheels and connected with collapsible sidewalls that fold for towing by a motorized vehicle.

The Truck Camper has an average price of about $10,500. RVIA defines as “A recreational camping unit designed to be loaded onto or affixed to the bed or chassis of a truck, constructed to provide temporary living quarters for recreational camping or travel use.”

“Full-time RVing” describe Class A motorhomes as “…resemble buses in shape although many models are sleeker and more streamlined.” The living unit has been entirely constructed on a bare, specially designed motor vehicle chassis. The price range for Class A is extensive, from $60,000 to over $500,000.

They describe the Class C motorhome as being “…built on a van cutaway chassis and have a van cab with the engine located under an extended hood. The distinguishing feature of all Class Cs is the cabover bed.” The price range is fairly narrow, from $35,000 to $75,000.

A very popular RV that is creating it’s own niche is the Van Camper (Class B) Most are a “panel type truck to which the RV manufacturer adds any of the two following conveniences: sleeping, kitchen and toilet facilities. Also 110-volt hook-up, fresh water storage, city water hook-up and a top extension to provide more head room.” These RVs start at $42,000 and can cost as much as $68,000.

The Conversion Vehicles are vans, trucks and sport utility vehicles manufactured by an automaker then modified for transportation and recreation use by a company specializing in customized vehicles. These changes may include windows, carpeting, paneling, seats, sofas, and accessories. Ambulances and airport.
