Survey shows RVers plan to travel this spring and summer
The latest survey of RV owners, conducted by Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA), reveals that 64 percent of RV owners intend to use their RVs more this spring/summer than they did last year. Seven percent indicated they'll use their RV less and 24 percent say they'll use their RV the same amount. Some of the top reasons for using their RVs more included enjoying outdoor activity, taking mini-vacations, spending quality time with family, and escaping from the stress and pressure of everyday life. RVers enjoy an array of activities while traveling in their RVs. Favorites include sightseeing, cooking out, visiting friends and family, hiking, fishing and visiting festivals or fairs.

Get your RV ready for summer!
Summer is just around the corner, so now is the time to prep your RV for
summertime travels. A thorough
inspection can help you find items that need maintenance or repair, depending on
what you find. By starting early, you can prevent breakdowns while in the middle
of traveling. First, visually inspect the exterior and interior, noting any
items needing maintenance or repair. Check maintenance books and records to
determine what items are due now. Check tire pressures, fluid levels, batteries,
air filters and replace if needed. While most items will only require regular
maintenance, there are some items that do need extra attention:
Water heater
Be sure to drain and flush water heaters according to the water heater's instruction manual to
avoid costly damage. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the tank and allow
water and sediment to drain out. Some RVs have an anode rod that is part of the
drain plug. Inspect the rod and replace if needed. Reinstall the drain plug and
refill the tank before lighting the burner.

RV vacations are good for your health
 Less Stress—RVs eliminate travel stressors like airport delays, luggage restrictions and cramped hotel rooms. They provide flexibility to control your own schedule freedom to go where you want, when you want. If you run into traffic or backups on the road, you can take a different route. With an RV, there are no worries about having room for everything in your suitcase (or keeping it under the weight limit!)
