When it comes to the great outdoors most people have a lot of grandiose ideas about becoming one with nature and enjoying their natural love of physical activities with which they may or may not have any personal experience. Trouble comes when these novices head out RVing without any definite plans or preparations on how […]

Individuals who purchase a used travel trailer come from all walks of life. The used travel trailers in question are purchased for a wide variety of never ending reasons. But regardless of the type of person who purchased it or the reason for the purchase, every used travel trailer will require proper RV maintenance. Used […]

Fifth wheel trailers have many uses and advantages. They are a favorite amongst the wild group at the sand dunes because they provide the storage room for dune buggies, sand rails, ATVs, etc. while also providing comfort and plenty of living space for a big group. The fifth wheel RV is also popular amongst retired […]

Many professionals are finding that in today’s modern workplace, their presence isn’t actually required. They aren’t getting fired and they aren’t experiencing a cut back on their hours. In fact, it’s just the opposite. With the advent of telecommuting and the plethora of tools at society’s fingertips, many companies are discovering that they can maximize […]

Many parents go to great lengths to provide their kids with an RV vacation. Some parents place the greatest importance on pulling kids away from all the electronics that seem to invade every aspect of life for today’s youth. The removal from the digital extravaganza is temporary at best so parents should have a plan […]

The amazing state of Colorado boasts 26 ski resorts, more than 100 vineyards, and over 120 craft breweries (more per capita than any other state). This is in addition to the numerous National Parks, State Parks, Historic Landmarks, etc. While visiting the Centennial State in their fifth wheel trailer, visitors can see the world’s tallest […]

Colorado is known for its magnificent vistas. When most imagine what they will see they envision the Rocky Mountains and a never-ending view of trees and greenery. Lightweight travel trailers visiting the state will see this, and it is magnificent. The state offers 13 National Parks, 1,415 National Register of Historic Places listings, 3 National […]

Colorado itself is a beacon for RVers due to the dramatic vistas and gorgeous seasonal landscapes. The terrain is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and there are countless “perfect” camping spots for the motorhome Class C. The picturesque vistas are a temptation to even the most jaded of photographers. And Colorado’s overall friendliness to visitors and […]

Some are under the unfair assumption that cooking is more difficult when they are residing in one of the many Class C motorhomes. This type of negative outlook can drastically limit the variety of food available to travelers while on the road, particularly the variety of healthy food choices. Instead of accepting the glass half […]

Every American should take the opportunity to vote in the upcoming 2012 Presidential Election. That means that RVers should officially take a break from the Class B RV so they can fill out a ballot. There is no better way to exercise your basic democratic rights than to participate in elections. The upcoming 2012 Presidential […]

Every road trip has a beginning and every road trip has a final destination. Many of them have a return trip as well. Sometimes even the best laid plans lead to side trips that weren’t planned, changes to the itinerary, or even a complete remapping of the course. Used travel trailers out on the road are veterans at all of the above because they are the consummate road trippers. They have been everywhere, seen everything and done everything. As the driver, the RVer has enjoyed it all.

The process required of new RVers before they can officially become RV owners is simply exhausting. There are so many motorhomes for sale that the process is more confusing and simply frustrating that it needs to be. Experts advise that keeping things simple and having clear priorities before getting started will alleviate the problem, but no matter how prepared a new RVer might be, many are still tired once they’re driving off the lot in their new recreational vehicle.

For those who have recently succeeded in mastering the used RV sales games and come home with their very own RV, a great first road trip is almost indefinitely in the near future. The first road trip could be the reason for the purchase. Some buy a recreational vehicle because they have a need for it, but for many, the sheer fact that they own a recreational vehicle creates endless possibilities and there isn’t much in the way of concrete plans.

When it’s time to purchase another (or the very first) used travel trailers or other recreational vehicles, a lot of time and effort is dedicated to the process. Buyers make sure that they know what they want and how they can get it. Sometimes buyers may even spend weeks or months thinking and reading and perusing available options before they make their move towards any of the available used travel trailers for sale.

Some RVers travel all year, and others spend random weekends and vacations on the road. Some RVers utilize their RV for extremely practical purposes as they travel from home to a certain destination like Grandma’s house or “the happiest place on earth.” The RV is a great vacation transition and it absolutely serves its purpose as primary means of transportation and backup lodging. But those who get the most out of their RVs know how to generate an entire trip around being in their Class C RV on the open road for the entire trip. When RVing is approached with this attitude the options become completely endless. Fall festivals are highly recommended for the upcoming season and interested RVers would do well to start planning their road trip now.

Pedata RV Center recommends that recreational vehicle owners schedule preventive maintenance for their RV this fall. Completing basic preventive maintenance prior to the onset of the colder weather of winter will greatly decrease the chances of surprise repairs and/or breakdowns on the road that can be more dangerous during the winter months. Verify that the […]

When perusing all the RVs for sale at the beginning of the summer, RV buyers didn’t consider how they were going to feel parking the recreational vehicle when it was time for the kids to go back to school. Some are completely ready for time downtime at home. They find vacationing exhausting and would rather not ever go anywhere ever again. To these people it’s important to ask one question, “Where did the decision to purchase an RV come from?”

Individuals who have recently purchased “new” used RVs sometimes find themselves scrambling for a foothold from which they can really jump start their life on the road. They want to get off to a great start. They don’t want to hold back. They want to grab life by the horns. The life of an RVer can be extremely exciting and holds great potential for adding zest to an otherwise staid and plodding existence. To avoid getting stuck in the quagmires of planning remember this one simple piece of advice: just do it. Yes, it’s an overused phrase and it’s been heard many, many times by EVERY individual lucky enough to live on the Earth in the past two decades. The reason it’s been such an effective and steadfast tag line for the huge conglomerate we won’t mention by name because they don’t need the additional, free advertising is because it is so very true! There aren’t very many living in today’s wildly busy, ridiculously stressful society that don’t find themselves bogged down by distractions and items that are actually extremely low on their life long “to do” list. Step away from the front lines for just one second, and it’s easy to see just how applicable this statement is. That’s why it rings so true. How do the RVing experts recommend you actually follow through and “just do it?” Multitasking is a great starting point.

Anyone regularly in charge of providing sustenance for a group or family is constantly on the lookout for new recipes, new snack ideas and new ways to present the same staples they’ve been eating for years. This is an unavoidable kitchen phenomenon. Every chef or amateur cook is going to adopt certain methods and staples, but will eventually want to try something new. When it comes to RV cooking, this can be a little more difficult, but RVers should never let that scare them away from a new recipe or cooking method. Fifth wheels can come with every feature in the traditional kitchen and RVers who find that their fifth wheel is lacking a specific element or that they simply miss an aspect from kitchen’s past…they can always make a change and have their RV’s kitchen space updated to suit their needs. It’s as simple as that.

Pedata RV Center releases tips on homeschooling and RVing. In addition to the regularly scheduled articles for the month of August, Pedata RV Center is focusing on the “back to school” season. While many are adjusting their travel routine to suit the fact that the kids are back in school, more and more are actually […]

August has officially become the “back to school” season. Most are setting their summer travels aside and heading home to get grounded again. They’re getting their kids back in their at home routine to prepare for the beginning of another school year. These folks will most likely travel here and there throughout the year, but save the majority of their on the road adventures for summer and other major holiday breaks like Spring Break and Winter Break. Then there are the RVers who aren’t ruled by the school calendar. This unique group of travelers has chosen to home school their children in the fifth wheel camper.

A lot of potential RVers have a tight budget. Some view full time RVing as a potential solution. Others view their limited funds as a solid reason inhibiting them from exploring the possibilities of the RVing lifestyle. It’s a funny combination of conclusions, but has an easy explanation. Regardless of the scenario a potential RVer leans towards, used RVs for sale by owner aren’t the answer for maximizing limited funds when purchasing a recreational vehicle in preparation for life on the road. Consider the scenario and its potential solutions carefully.

Some people are excellent shoppers. They seem to have an innate sense of what to look for and where to look for it, how much to pay and how to get the best deal. When the shopping is for an RV, the process becomes a little more intense and a little more difficult, but there are still those who are simply good at it. Others like to label them “lucky” rather than skilled, but the fact of the matter is that being a good shopper is a skill. It is also a fact that while some people have a natural affinity for certain skills, they can also be learned.

Some consumers leap into RVing headfirst. They don’t consider their vacationing style. They ignore their history of travel (or non-travel). The number of vacations taken per year, the typical vacation budget, the average number of participants in any given vacation and the type of vacation location preferred are not taken into consideration prior to purchasing. This can lead to major hang ups down the road. For many, it means putting the poor RV for sale before ever even giving it a chance to succeed.

Pedata RV Center releases their Top 6 Picks list of the smart phone applications that they think travelers will get the most use out of this summer during camping and RV travel. The various apps are all camping/RV travel related, but have a variety of general purposes from saving money on gas to nighttime campfire […]

Many vacationers want to eat more home-cooked meals, but it’s usually the recreational vehicle owners who actually accomplish the task. The diesel pusher is versatile and convenient in many ways, but the most prized aspect of the RV is often identified as the kitchen. Traveling with a kitchen changes the name of the game.

While most children still have the summers “off” from the traditional, regimented school schedule, that doesn’t mean time shouldn’t be spent furthering their education over the break. At the very least, summer vacationers should consider a summer reading list. It’s an easy way to keep the brain active even while spending family vacation time traveling in the fifth wheel.

There’s a lot of information out there for RVers looking to include small children in their “on the road” escapades. There’s also plenty of information on kid-friendly RV cooking, kids’ crafts that can be incorporated into RV travels, and even educating children through effective home schooling methods while enjoying a full time RV lifestyle. What some find surprising is the lack of information on entertaining the children while attempting to find used RVs for sale.

August is the time to start studying the available travel trailers for sale for those who tend to want to incorporate the RV into their regular travel, but avoid traveling during the summer months. Allowing for plenty of “browsing” time will ensure that there’s not a purchasing rush that could lead a new RV owner into a vehicle that won’t fulfill their basic needs. After identifying the perfect travel trailer for sale, new RVers should consider what destinations and locations suit their preferences in combination with the upcoming season. Then search for the perfect first trip.

Not all RV dealers will be useful to new RV owners. Some RV dealers may be cranky and others might simply be unfamiliar with the lifestyle their product delivers. This may seem ludicrous, but it happens more often than some think. When looking to purchase a product that delivers on expected standards, new buyers should carefully consider RV dealers and their awareness of the various industry lifestyles.

Helpful RV dealers will answer questions posed by new recreational vehicle buyers even when they are not directly related to inventory on hand.
