Pedata RV Center Releases Safety Tips for RVers Traveling Alone

Monday, 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

Sunday, 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.”

Fifth Wheels Are the Best Method for RV Travel

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

I’ve purchased more than my fair share of recreational vehicles and of all those that I’ve owned and made use of, fifth wheels are my favorite. Fifth wheels might not be the best choice for EVERY RVer, but they are definitely the best choice for me and I would have to guess that their advantages would make them the best option for a pretty big group of RVers.

The advantages that I appreciate about fifth wheels include:

  1. Increased mobility without a decrease in the interior space – I love the fact that the fifth wheel offers the spacious floor plans and amenities of the most luxurious Class As, but also offers the drastic increase in mobility that comes with being able to unhitch, set up camp and take off around the local area in your tow vehicle.
  2. Wide price range – I’ve owned multiple fifth wheels in my day. Some might say that this makes me indecisive or flighty. (I’ve had my share of accusation flinging). I prefer to think of my multiple purchases as a means of gaining a great understanding of multiple RV types. I am able to say definitively that I like fifth wheels the best. I can also say that it is more affordable to than many assume due to the wide price range of fifth wheel trailers.
  3. Increased on the road storage space – Many refer to fifth wheels as toy haulers. This is because they are immensely popular amongst those who utilize their RVs as accouterments on their recreational outings. The fifth wheel is particularly well suited for storage of additional recreational vehicles (ATVs, four wheelers, three wheelers, dirt bikes, sand buggies, etc.) while on the road. It’s another aspect of the fifth wheel’s versatility.

Still not sold on the fifth wheel? You don’t have to be; as I said in the very beginning it’s my favorite. It doesn’t have to be yours. The array of RVs available out there is almost staggering. When you take into consideration the type of RV, the size of the RV, the class of the RV, the available amenities, etc. you can pretty much have whatever you want. The trick is figuring out what that might be. Test drive, research, contact a recreational vehicle professional and ask questions, discuss the matter with other RVers…it doesn’t matter how you go about it. You find out which RV best suits your lifestyle. Then get in it and get on the road! You won’t regret it. 

Pedata RV Center Releases Top 5 Safety Tips to Ensure Your Recreational Vehicle Is Safe for the Family

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases top 5 safety tips to ensure that the recreational vehicle is safe for the family. Pedata RV Center releases top 5 safety tips to ensure that the recreational vehicle is safe for the family.

Safety tips: Keep the Recreational Vehicle Safe for the Family

1. Plan your trip. Provide someone not involved in the trip with a copy of your basic itinerary.

2. Do a general vehicle inspection prior to departing on your trip to avoid any unexpected roadside disasters.

3. Try to travel with a designated navigator. It’s safer if the driver isn’t the one attempting to read the map.

4. Know the weather and road conditions of the areas into which campers will be traveling. This can avoid dangerous ill preparation as well as annoying road delays.

5. Research the laws in the areas in which RVers will be driving. For instance, is it legal to use a cell phone while operating a vehicle?…that depends where you are.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “Recreational vehicles and the road trips they make possible are definitely fun. But ignoring the safety aspect of your trip can be the quickest way to ruin any and all fun for the entire trip.”

Pedata RV Center Announces More Cash Purchases of Used RVs

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

Pedata RV Center announces more cash purchases of used RVs. Some industry experts suggest that the “tight fist” reaction to the economic downturn has led to an increase in big ticket expenditures from those who have put it off until the health of the economy improved.

But it’s not only big ticket buying that is evident in today’s market. It’s cash purchases. Cash isn’t just for fast food and roadside stands anymore. People in today’s market are swinging more towards cash savings for big ticket purchases over the “credit” option that was so popular in years past.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “I don’t think anyone is completely turning away from credit. The way our economy and our society is set up really couldn’t allow that but since the major upset that was caused by the recent recession many view their credit opportunities as more of a unavoidable evil than an opportunity to hang onto their cash.”

More big ticket items like used RVs, cars, second homes, pools and other major home additions, etc. are being paid for after cash has been saved up. In years past this was rare. Most consumers paid for big ticket items on credit with the expectation that they would be making payments for a specified amount of time.

Pedata RV Center Announces Top Resources For Used Accessories for New Diesel Pusher Owners

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Pedata RV Center announces top resources used accessories for new diesel pusher owners. The new, financially conscious mindset is here to stay and many are finding that the most heavily affected aspect of their spending is vacations.

But according to RV industry leaders like the experienced sales personnel at Pedata RV Center this doesn’t necessarily mean less time “on vacation.” Generally speaking, it means an increased awareness that leads to consumers looking to get the most for their money.

Pedata RV Center’s Gerard Pedata says, “We provide an extensive online inventory that is accessible in detail for potential buyers to peruse at their leisure. This makes getting the most out of your RV purchase far more likely for most buyers who would feel limited by the available used RVs in their immediate geographical area or even in their immediate circle of friends and associates.”

In addition to getting the most for each dollar when buying a used RV or diesel pusher, Pedata urges consumers to research their accessory needs and then look to used accessory sales first through consumer resale sites like eBay and Craigslist. Consumers can often find the accessories they are looking to add to their new diesel pushers with a much lower price tag; fulfilling their need to get the best price possible and maximize their vacation budget.

Pedata RV Center Releases Top 3 List of RVer Movies for Road Trips

Monday, April 11th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases top 3 list of RVer movies for road trips. The “road trip” is a classic American experience and many find it a vacation in and of itself. Some RVers don’t worry about the destination at all; they are more worried about the trip.

Top 3 List of RVer Movies for Road Trips:

1. RV, starring Robin Williams. Memorable Quote regarding one of the reasons the father of the family thought a road trip was a good idea, “We watch TV in four separate rooms and IM each other when dinner is ready.”

2. Thelma and Louise, starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Memorable Quote from Louise Sawyer, “You’ve always been crazy, this is just the first chance you’ve had to express yourself.”

3. Planes, Trains and Automobiles, starring John Candy and Steve Martin. Memorable Quote, “Why don’t you take a picture? It’ll last longer.”

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center suggested, “RVers who love movies in combination with their road trips should consider researching the possibility of attending a classic Drive-in Movie Theater while traveling. Access online databases and directors to find out if there is a functioning drive in theater in the region you’ll be visiting.”

Pedata RV Center Releases Top 3 Reasons to Listen to “Lifer” RV Drivers

Sunday, March 20th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases Top 3 reasons to listen to “lifer” RV drivers. RV drivers are of two kinds: part time drivers and what many refer to as “lifers.” Lifer RVers are on the road full time. They may move from campground to campground or they may stay in one spot. But they live in their RV fulltime.

When it comes to making the most of your RV trip there’s no one with more useful information for new or part time RV drivers than the “Lifer RVer.”

Top 3 Reasons to Listen to the “Lifer” RV Drivers:

1. They can provide you with the ‘local’ view of the area. This usually means that you’ll get more local flavor. You’ll be able to hit the real local hot spots instead of the major tourist stops.

2. They can help you avoid unnecessary costs. Avoid the expensive toll roads by using local byways instead. Avoid the expensive supply stores by allowing the experienced RV drivers in the area to direct you towards more affordable supply outlets, RV repair centers, etc.

3. They can direct you towards local festivals, events and celebrations in the surrounding area.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “We always encourage new and part time RV drivers to access the knowledge that is out there from those who have been on the road a substantially longer amount of time. It’s always great to run into like minded individuals at a campground or RV event, but the easiest way to take advantage of the extensive knowledge of full time RVers is online.”
