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

Wednesday, 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 Releases Tips for “Light” RV Travel

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases tips for “light” RV travel. Some RV owners appreciate the ability to outfit their RVs with every item and amenity available. Other RV owners appreciate the RV’s ability to offer them spontaneous or quick travel. These RV owners are often looking for tips on traveling “light.”

Tips for Traveling “Light” in Your RV from Pedata RV Center:

1.     Keep Staples Packed: RV owners who appreciate a quick departure for spontaneous trips learn to stop unpacking. Many items are best left stocked in the recreational vehicle, as they will only need to be repacked for the next trip. Ascertain which items are non-perishable and will be necessary for most road trips and keep them in the vehicle at all times. This decreases preparation time drastically and makes spontaneous travel much more enjoyable.

2.     Travel Size: The travel size was created for a purpose. It was created for the traveler. Many RV owners greatly appreciate the decreased need for storage space when travel size options can be utilized. Travel size board games are a particular favorite of RVers.

3.     Avoid Unnecessary Packing: RVers should consider their proposed destination and activities when packing. It’s one thing to be prepared with the items you might need during a trip, and it’s quite another to over pack to the point that preparing for the spontaneous trip takes longer than the trip itself.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “Spontaneity is a great attribute found amongst many RV owners. Recreational vehicles cater to those who long for travel and wish to make it a part of their normal lives rather than a rare deviation from the everyday.”

Pedata RV Center Announces Benefits of RV-Related Newsletters

Tuesday, March 29th, 2011

Pedata RV Center announces benefits of RV-related newsletters. Many RVers and non-RVers alike do their utmost to avoid receiving any type of newsletter or automatic email from retailers, distributors, organizations, etc. It doesn’t matter who it is or what they want to share, the automatic answer is no.

But Pedata RV Center suggests that RV owners choose a few newsletters to sign up for. And while RV owners are at it…they could test their luck by signing up for newsletters with specials attached. For instance, signing up to receive Camping World newsletters prior to March 20, 2011 results in an entry for a $250 shopping spree.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “The funny thing is that these newsletters often contain the information that RVers get online to LOOK for and often find it difficult to wade through the garbage to find the good info. Signing up for a few select newsletters is actually a great idea.”

Pedata RV Center Announces Top Gas Saving Apps

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Pedata RV Center urges RVers to take advantage of gas saving apps. The popularity of smart phone applications apparently knows no bounds, but some of the most popular apps are not necessarily entertaining…instead they are actually tools.

These are the top gas saving applications that Pedata recommends:

1. GasBuddy: lets drivers upload gas prices and find the cheapest available in the area. It’s a free app available on iPhone and Android.

2. Cheap Gas: lets drivers upload gas prices and find the cheapest available in the area. It’s a free app available on iPhone and Android.

3. GasHog: Available on iPhone for $1.00 and free on the Android. This app allows RVers to track their fuel-economy without having to do any math themselves.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “While we repeatedly urge drivers to put their phones away while on the road for safety sake we also encourage them to take full advantage of tools and apps that are advantageous for road trips. It’s best to have a ‘navigator’ with smart phone in hand. But if this isn’t the case, the RVer can just access smart phone apps while stopped.”

Pedata RV Center Announces Top Four Checklists for the Motorhome

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

Pedata RV Center suggests making the most of the tried and true checklist in the motorhome. Checklists are the most significant method generating efficiency in motorhome travel and ensuring that every trip runs smoothly. They allow RVers and their passengers to enjoy the planned activities…as planned.

Considering the nature of RVing it is easy to understand that “forgetting” an item or two could throw the entire trip off course…literally.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “The most experienced RVers never depend on a mental checklist. They have multiple checklists and they check their lists multiple times prior to departing on any road trip.”

Top Four checklists to keep in or near your motorhome include:

1. Checklists for trips to certain regions (different gear is needed when traveling to Alaska versus Arizona).

2. Checklists for types of recreation (there’s no point in going on a trip to the best rappelling spot in Colorado if you don’t ensure you have all your rappelling gear, etc.)

3. Checklists for motorhome functionality (check all the various maintenance issues prior to departure…to name a few: tire pressure, lights, brakes, check fluid levels, check all fluid levels, fill the water tank, etc.)

4. Food

There are an almost endless variety of useful checklists when it comes to RVing and owning a motorhome. But each RVer will discover that regardless of the number of times they successfully complete a trip, they aren’t less susceptible to forgetfulness during packing, but more susceptible. This is why RVers who have been on and off and on the road again over and over throughout their lives swear by the checklist. And anything that makes the RV lifestyle more accessible is a tool worth using.

Pedata RV Center Releases Top 3 List of iPhone Applications to Help Motorhome Travelers Save Money on Gas

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Pedata RV Center releases Top 3 List of iPhone applications to help motorhome travelers save money on gas. When on the road this holiday season, RVers are going to be on the lookout for “lower” gas prices, dividing up gas costs between multiple passengers, etc. Instead of depending on line of sight or amateur math skills, smart motorhome holiday travelers are making use of their smart phones.

Top 3 List of iPhone Applications to Help Save Money on Gas:

1. WHERE: This application combines GPS and GasBuddy to get motorhome travelers gas prices from the closest gas stations. This application is made by uLocate Communications. This application is free.

2. FuelGage: This application is made by Joseph Kueser and costs $0.99. It tracks mileage and offers quick comparisons of performance. It can track multiple vehicles and tally trip totals. It’s particularly useful for splitting gas costs.

3. NetRouter: This application saves fuel by creating optimal routes. This can be particularly advantageous for motorhome owners who have a multiple stop trip scheduled for the holidays.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “Saving money on gas has always been of interest to motorhome owners and travelers. It’s even more interesting now that the recession has made Americans more aware of how much they’re spending and where they are spending it.”
