Pedata RV Center Releases Safety Tips for RVers Traveling Alone

January 23rd, 2012

Pedata RV Center releases safety tips for RVers traveling alone. While many view RVing as a means of group travel popular for family vacations and even multi-family vacations, it is also often used as a means of solitary vacationing.

Many individuals who are traveling alone prize their time alone so recommendations to increase safety by traveling with a party are ignored or brushed aside. But there are additional steps and precautions that can be taken to increase the safety of the solitary traveler:

1.    A good cell phone with dependable cell phone service
2.    Contact with another individual so there is a record or at least knowledge of the general whereabouts of the traveler.
3.    Regular RV maintenance to decrease the likelihood that there will be car trouble.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “ Individuals who are traveling alone can find themselves in a bit of a predicament if no one knows where they are. Sending a quick email or text message before heading off to a new location or on a hike, etc. can be extremely helpful if the traveler fails to make it back to their campsite as planned.”

While traveling alone is often not recommended by experts for safety reasons, there are many individuals who travel alone frequently without any safety issues. There are individuals who enjoy a full time RV lifestyle alone on the road. There are individuals who have traveled extensively without any safety issues cropping up due to the fact that they are traveling singly. But statistically speaking, traveling in numbers is safer and following some basic guidelines like those presented above can greatly decrease the chances that there will be a problem related to your safety while traveling.

Pedata RV Center sells used RVs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, campers, and motor homes. Their full inventory is accessible online and due to their low overhead costs they are able to offer competitive pricing in their industry. Easy access to industry and recreational vehicle information allows consumers to have access to the specific knowledge they need to ensure their purchase results in long term satisfaction.

Pedata RV Center Releases Tips for Incorporating Technology On the Road

January 1st, 2012

Pedata RV Center releases tips for incorporating technology on the road. The number of features and optional design elements available to RV buyers means that there’s always a model that can accommodate the technical needs of travelers.

The RV is known for being versatile. This is one more aspect of the recreational vehicle’s versatility: it can be customized to suit the needs of the owner or traveler. Ways in which technology can be incorporated on the road vary almost as widely as they do in the typical household:

Tip Number One: Consider the external hard drive. Using an external hard drive to store digital files of movies, music, photos, etc. while traveling not only cuts down on the space needed to pack these entertainment items, but it allows travelers to drastically increase the variety they include in their “on the road” entertainment libraries. Many RV owners transfer their entire movie/music library to an external hard drive and have it available on the road.

Tip Number Two: Working on the road. Many RVers are full time before they even retire. These individuals work from the road. This means that they have technological needs that have to be met regularly. The use of wireless through cell phone services is becoming increasingly popular. RVers should consult their phone’s service provider for possible Internet solutions they could access while on the road.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “Computers aren’t being left behind anymore. They’re headed out on the road with RVers. They’re a means of entertainment as well as being the source of many RVers’ regular incomes.”

Pedata RV Center sells used RVs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, campers, and motor homes. Their full inventory is accessible online and due to their low overhead costs they are able to offer competitive pricing in their industry. Easy access to industry and recreational vehicle information allows consumers to have access to the specific knowledge they need to ensure their purchase results in long term satisfaction.

Lightweight Travel Trailers

December 30th, 2011

Who prefers lightweight travel trailers in today’s RV industry where Class A’s and Fifth Wheels and even some of the smaller RVs offer all the conveniences of home? Does anyone still prefer the lightweight travel trailers or are they a thing of the past? Would it surprise you to discover that smaller, compact travel trailers are among one of the most popular of the RV types currently available?

Lightweight travel trailers are prized for their unique ability to make things easier in several ways.

The RVer who wants to make a really quick trip, casual trip might not want to pack up and rev up his big Class A. Some Class A and/or fifth wheel owners also own lightweight travel trailers. They love their large, comfortable RV, but they also truly appreciate the smaller size and ease of maneuverability offered by their small RV option.

The use of the lightweight travel trailer doesn't just decrease the amount of fuel required for a trip in comparison to some of the larger RVs…it drastically decreases it. The travel trailer isn’t only smaller, but it also requires a much smaller tow vehicle in comparison to larger RVs and larger towables.

Lightweight RVs are also preferable for many who are attempting to get away from the campgrounds and settle directly into the woods or the desert. The small towable travel trailers are easily worked into the landscape in comparison to larger RVs that are often very difficult to manage off road and/or out of an organized/official campground.

Then there is the issue of storage. One of the main complaints about ownership of recreational vehicles is that you have to consider storage and there isn’t always a convenient solution. With the lightweight travel trailers, there is almost always a convenient solution. It’s much easier to find appropriate storage opportunities with the smaller towable RVs than when attempting to find indoor or even outdoor storage for some of the larger RVs. It’s greatly appreciated when the RV can simply be pulled into a side yard or a full size garage.

Still unsure whether lightweight travel trailers have anything to offer for your specific situation? Call in and discuss the many merits of the littlest of RV options with one of our well-trained representatives. The use of smaller travel trailers isn’t always necessary, but it’s a benefit in so many situations that you may as well check into it; especially considering the affordability of this particular RVing option.

5th Wheel Toy Hauler

December 26th, 2011

The 5th wheel toy hauler is a bit of a conundrum for some RVers. There’s a lot of confusion. There are also several myths that should be discussed in order to get a clear idea of the 5th wheel and even more specifically, the 5th wheel toy hauler.

Some believe that the 5th wheel toy hauler is simply a way to transport recreational toys. The 5th wheel or toy hauler is a great way to transport toys back and forth to hot recreational spots, but it’s in no way limited to being functional during transport. The 5th wheel toy hauler is also designed to accommodate the other needs of the RVer.

The 5th wheel toy hauler is often believed to be deficient when it comes to luxury and amenities. This is also not true. The 5th wheel toy hauler is actually one of the most luxurious of RV options. Many come with the same options and amenities as the Class A RVs.

Another myth is that the 5th wheel is difficult to pull/maneuver on the road. Many fifth wheel owners beg to disagree. The 5th wheel is often cited as being much more maneuverable than other large RVs. The 5th wheel also comes with the added benefit of allowing the tow vehicle to unhitch. This allows owners to travel about the local areas/destinations without needing to tow their RV through small, local roads and local entertainment venue parking lots, etc.

Don’t ignore the 5th wheel toy hauler’s benefits because you are afraid to try something new. It is great for hauling recreational “toys.” We’re not trying to say it’s not. It’s one of the most popular aspects of this type of RV. The information we want you to walk away with today is that the “toy hauling” is an added benefit. It’s not the sole function of the 5th wheel. The fifth wheel is a full recreational vehicle experience with all the amenities available in the industry. Not sure what those are? Check into the options.

One of the easiest ways to get a grip on what’s out there is to peruse an extensive inventory. The Pedata RV Center online inventory is one of the most extensive and due to the fact that the full inventory is accessible online, it makes comparing and contrasting various options available in today’s market easier than ever. Check it out today.

Talking About Class C Motorhomes

December 22nd, 2011

You’ve heard of the Class A. Most view it is the big guy on the road; the biggest of the RVs. You’ve also heard of the fifth wheel and the travel trailer. They’re both trailers, but the fifth wheel requires a fifth wheel hitch and can be just as big as the Class A while the travel trailer is typically the smallest of the RVs and requires only the traditional hitch and fairly small tow vehicles. We’ve discussed the Class B recently and cleared up any confusion there. Now it’s time to talk about the Class C motorhomes.

What’s good about the Class C motorhomes?

They’re affordable and family friendly. They offer many of the same conveniences of the Class A without the high price tag typically associated with the luxury RVs. They offer better fuel mileage and are shorter in length than the Class A’s which makes them easier to maneuver. The Class A RV is built on a van type chassis with a van cab for the driver and passenger seat. They usually fall into the range of 20 to 43 feet in length.

There is usually a sleeping area worked into the design above the cab area as well as a second full bedroom towards the rear of the unit. Many prefer this design for privacy reasons when traveling with guests or children. The Class C’s interior space is greatly enhanced by carefully placed slideouts (also common in the Class A).

Disadvantages that may lead RVers away from the purchase of a Class C include: less payload in comparison to the Class A and limited towing capacity.

The Class C is just one of many options when it comes to the array of high quality recreational vehicles available through Pedata RV Center’s online inventory. We offer a full description of each and every vehicle available. Every description includes pricing and warranty information as well as multiple photos. Many buyers choose to access our friendly and experienced representatives by phone or email prior to completing the sale.

Upon completion of the sale, our Fly and Buy program will aid you in picking up your new vehicle without feeling as if the costs of travel are adding to your purchase total. Check out the details of our Fly and Buy Program on the website or call to discuss the options with one of our highly trained, helpful representatives. They are standing by to answer your questions.

Pedata RV Center Publishes RV Tire Safety Article for Free Online Access

December 21st, 2011

Pedata RV Center publishes RV tire safety article for free online access. There are many issues related to tire safety that are easily overlooked. One of the most commonly overlooked issues related to RV tire safety is that travel trailer tires have to checked and re-checked just as often as full size RV tires.

Having low tire pressure can decrease your gas mileage, and it can also leave the driver and passengers in danger on the road. Careful and diligent maintenance regarding tire safety will drastically decrease the probability that there may be a blow out on the road.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “RVers often cite blow outs as the one thing that could ruin their trip. But this doesn’t always lead them to be dedicated in checking their tires prior to departure. Even though it is a common worry…the lack of proper tire maintenance continues to be a common problem leading to road trouble.”

Pedata RV Center offers free online access to any and all blog posts and articles in the website’s online article database. Interested consumers are encouraged to access information and leave comments and questions or even concerns about specific upcoming RV trips. Experienced professionals contribute regularly and monitor the blog comments.

Pedata RV Center sells used  RVs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, campers, and motor homes. Their full inventory is accessible online and due to their low overhead costs they are able to offer competitive pricing in their industry. Easy access to industry and recreational vehicle information allows consumers to have access to the specific knowledge they need to ensure their purchase results in long term satisfaction.

The Class B RV Confusion

December 16th, 2011

The Class B RV is most often described as confusing to those who aren’t in the know about RVs and the RV industry. Most would assume it’s something between the Class A and the Class C since that would be logical considering the alphabetical classifications, but this isn’t enough of a definition. To understand the Class B you have to delve a little deeper:

-       The Class B became an official RV type in the 1970s.

-       The first Class B RVs were can campers.

-       The Class B (van campers) originally emerged and gained popularity because cans were compact and economical (fuel-wise) and easy to convert from van to van camper.

-       The Class B gained immense popularity during the early 70’s. Many say this was due to the fuel shortage occurring around the same time.

-       Since the emergence of the Class B, many other changes have occurred in the RV industry leaving consumers with a lot of options.

-       In more recent years consumers lean towards larger RV purchases.

-       Class B’s in today’s RV market are typically based on modifications to full sized Ford, Chevy, Dodge or GMC vans.

-       Typical Class B conveniences include: kitchen, toilet, 120-volt hookup, sleeping accommodations (up to 4), freshwater storage, and city water hookup capabilities.

-       Modifications usually include a top extension that provides additional headroom.  

While Class Bs are not the most popular amongst general RV sales, they have been around a long time and do still hold the respect of many RVers. The Class B RV is able to hold its own amongst the larger, more extensive RVs for three reasons:

  1. Economy
  2. Maneuverability
  3. Safety

The Class B drives more like the family van than anything else. It’s the easiest RV to drive. For first time RVers for RVers who are unsure of maneuvering heavy, large vehicles, the Class B is a fantastic solution. The Class B’s of today are a long cry from the homemade looking versions in the early 70’s. Today’s Class B is sophisticated featuring a polished aerodynamic design that is both appealing and functional.

Get over the Class B confusion. It’s not really that difficult. If economy, safety and maneuverability are top on your list of priorities for your upcoming RV purchase, then consider the Class B. If spacious and luxurious are at the top of your list, you might want to consider the Class A instead. Just make sure that you know what you’re getting into and that you’ve considered all the options.

Travel Trailers Used Options

December 14th, 2011

Have you weighed all the options for your upcoming RV purchase or have your skipped over the opportunity to get a lot more for your dollar with travel trailer used options? If this is your first escapade into RV ownership you might want to consider dipping your toes in with a smaller recreational vehicle instead of leaping in headfirst with one of the larger vehicles.

Many first time RVers make the mistake of over-purchasing. Don’t assume that the biggest is always the best. Don’t even assume that the most expensive is always the best. The best is going to vary depending upon your personal tastes, your family size, your intended use, your adept at managing varying sized vehicles on both the highway and on the road, your ability to manage the specific needs of RVs and more.

Have you researched the various maintenance requirements for various vehicles? Larger vehicles inevitably require more maintenance. The “more” in this instance refers to both more money and more time. Large vehicles such as the Class A are going to provide a lot of opportunity for both luxury and space, but they will also require the most upkeep. They will also be the most expensive to care for properly. They will also be one of the most difficult to drive (in comparison to regular family vehicles).

Smaller RVs and travel trailers require far less maintenance, are often much less expensive to repair and maintain, and are easier to maneuver simply because of their size. Trailers have an additional advantage (both travel trailers and fifth wheels) of allowing owners to unhitch and use the towing vehicle separate from the RV when in local areas or settled into a campground.

The travel trailer used options are often overlooked and first time RVers discover later that it was a mistake. Sometimes first time purchasers can buy a Class A and it makes sense.  But in other situations, it doesn’t make sense. Take a step back from your own list of priorities and re-evaluate. Make sure that you are being honest to yourself and that you are actually outlining needs instead of wants. Don’t go for the biggest, most expensive RV for those reasons alone. Make sure that’s what works for you. Sometimes small is better and to find some of the most cost effective “small” RVs available you should definitely consider travel trailer used options.
