Merry Christmas!!
Be sure to take some time out of your busy life to enjoy the magic of the holidays this season.
Holiday Road Trip
If you're traveling by car, ensure your vehicle is in good running order for the trip by checking belts, hoses, air pressure, fluid levels and windshield wipers. Contact the state police agency or highway patrol regarding road closings or conditions.
This Christmas...
...spend quality time with your kids before your extended family arrives. Christmas is a good time to teach your family, especially children about values like love, compassion, giving and sharing. Try to include the whole family in different Christmas activities like festival related cooking, decorating the house and the tree and wrapping up gifts...
RV for the Holidays: Overcoming the Space Challenge
Living
in your RV over the holidays will present a few unique challenges, but
will also be amazingly rewarding. Here are a few tips to help you
weather the challenges of the holidays in your RV.
One
of the greatest challenges of an RV is the limited space. During the
holidays, with all of the shopping and gift giving, the space can seem
even more limited. When you plan what gifts to give, you may want to
choose items that are easy to store in the space that you have. This
means purchasing smaller gifts.
Many stores have options for shipping directly from the store. This is a great option for RVers since it doesn't require any storage. Online shopping is one of the best ways to take advantage of direct shipping. You can also make your purchases and then take them directly to mail them, in order to avoid using space in your RV.
6 Things to Ask Yourself When Buying an RV
Is the road calling? Are you ready to explore the beauty and wonder of America from the comfort of your very own RV.
While
the phrase "recreational vehicle" usually brings the iconic image of a
luxurious motorhome to mind, there are actually seven types of RVs to
choose from, each suited for different needs or uses.
So, when buying an RV you should ask yourself these six questions in order to choose the right one for you:
What Type of Camping or Travel Will I Do?
For
many, a camping adventure can be as brief as a weekend, while others
will opt for a few weeks at a time. And for the more enthusiastic (and
fortunate) "full-timers," a real road trip is nothing less than several
months…or forever!
Other considerations to keep in mind are who will be traveling with you and how many "essentials" you'll be taking.
How to Level an RV
There
are several reasons to make sure your RV is level, including proper
refrigerator operation and safe slide out extension (if you have them).
You'll also want to stabilize your rig so that it doesn't sway when you
move about inside or in windy conditions.
Many
luxury motorhomes and trailers come equipped with exotic self-leveling
systems, with hydraulic or electric rams that extend at the touch of a
button and level the coach automatically. For rigs without this nicety,
leveling blocks or ramps and a small bubble level are required.
Leveling
blocks or ramps don't have to be expensive. They can be as simple as a
stack of 2x10-inch boards. Or, you can step up to interlocking RV
leveling blocks. Made of high-strength plastic, these blocks are touted
as being able to bear the weight of even the largest motorhomes and
trailers.
How to Park an RV
You've
finally made it to the campground. But before you can run off to the
lake or go for a hike, the first order of the day is to park and level
your RV so that your refrigerator will operate properly and you don't
find yourself in bed at night with your feet higher than your head.
Never
assume your site will be flat or level. That would make parking an RV
too easy. Due to the nature of camping, chances are higher that your
site will be rutted, gouged and somewhat uneven.
But
don't fret. You can still get your RV into your spot, and leveled so it
operates properly, with a few easy steps. Here's how:

6 Quick Tips for RV Beginners
Whether
you're a family of weekend campers or a retired couple looking to
travel full-time, every RV beginner has to know a few important things
before making the maiden voyage. Here are six quick tips to consider
before you pile in and head out.
Tip 1: Decide Whether to Buy or Rent
This
isn't always an easy decision, with pros and cons for both. However,
when you consider a few key factors, the answer becomes clearer.
- Buy: You plan to go RV camping often or full-time and you have storage for the times when you aren't traveling.
- Rent: You plan to go on a single trip, or want to test the waters before making a purchase.
Tip 2: Get to Know Your RV
With
little road experience, it's especially important that RV beginners
take time to learn how the motorhome works, even if it's just a rental.
If something breaks, you should be able to assess the problem, and
potentially fix it. This saves time and money spent at a mechanic.

How to Stabilize Your RV
Now
that your RV is level, you'll want to stabilize it so it doesn't rock
back and forth when you walk around inside. You should use stabilizing
jacks to accomplish this.
Note: These should never be used to level a rig, as they weren't designed for that purpose.
Stabilizing
jacks come in several configurations. The most common is the scissor
jack, which is usually bolted or welded to the trailer's frame at the
front and rear.
Pop-up tent trailers are frequently equipped with a drop-down style jack, which, as the name implies, drops down from the frame.
To use the stabilizing jacks after you've leveled the RV:
- Lower the jacks following the manufacturer's instructions. To save time and give the foot of each jack a larger base, slide a couple of short 2x4- or 2x6-inch boards beneath each foot. This is especially helpful if the ground is loose or sandy.
- Once the jack foot is in contact with the ground, give the crank a few extra turns to provide the trailer a secure footing. Check the bubble level to make sure your RV remains level. Do this for all four corners.
And
that's how to park and level an RV! Your RV is now safely in the
campsite and ready to enjoy. When you get ready to leave just reverse
these steps, remembering to raise the jacks to their travel position,
and collect and store your leveling boards or blocks.

How to Park an RV
With
many campsites designed to accommodate smaller vehicles, easing your
30-foot long fifth-wheeler or even longer motorhome into some spots can
be a challenge.
That's why it's important to:
- Verify that your RV can get to your campsite. While the roads in most campgrounds are easy to navigate, there are still some that could be difficult to access due to hairpin turns and tight squeezes among boulders and trees. Some camping websites post caution notices to warn owners of longer rigs that they might want to consider another campground. If such warnings don't appear on the website and you have concerns, contact the campground directly and ask.
- Make sure your rig will fit the campsite. Most campground reservation websites provide details for each site, including its length. Check that the spot you've selected will accommodate both your tow vehicle and your trailer, or your motorhome, without sticking out into the road. Some reservation sites will also indicate low hanging tree branches or other obstructions.
- Check the campsite before you pull in. If you can do so without blocking traffic, get out and look the spot over. Scope out any objects or terrain that might pose hazards, such as drainage ditches, roadside markers, low hanging branches, posts, and power and water hookups. These same obstacles can prevent you from extending slide outs, so make sure you have clearance. Also, check to see if there are any especially low spots in the site that you'll want to avoid.
- Have an assistant guide you in. No matter how skilled you think you are at backing into campsites, things will go a lot smoother with extra eyes watching. There's nothing worse than the embarrassing crunch of an RV bumper kissing a large rock or a picnic table. Your helper can also make sure you've got the rig in straight and that you're completely out of the road. For easier communication, get yourself a pair of two-way radios so you and your assistant won't have to yell.
