Pedata RV Center Recommends RV Owners Check their Insurance Coverage

Friday, March 25th, 2011

Pedata RV Center recommends RV owners check their insurance coverage. Before heading out on a trip owners should verify insurance coverage details that could limit recreational vehicle use.

Aspect of Insurance Coverage to Check Prior to Departure on a Trip or Vacation:

1. Additional driver coverage
2. Glass coverage
3. Theft Coverage
4. Geographical limitations (trips to certain areas may require additional insurance purchase)
5. Exceptions to coverage (for instance…a weather anomaly that may be frequent in the area you are visiting)

Checking the basics of insurance coverage prior to “needing” insurance coverage is a smart move; especially because in many instances RV owners may find themselves in areas of inadequate cell phone service, etc. making dealing with the details on the road when RV owners are in a hurry to get a problem fixed even more difficult.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “We all know how helpful…and how annoying…insurance can be. Making sure it’s right before you need it is important in regards to every type of insurance. For some reason people tend to overlook the fact that RV insurance coverage details are just as important to pick apart as other forms of insurance.”

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 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 Discusses Hollywood Depictions of Recreational Vehicles

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Pedata RV Center discusses Hollywood depictions of recreational vehicles. Hollywood continues to incorporate the recreational vehicle more and more in a reflection of the increasing target markets turning to the recreational vehicle industry for fun, entertainment, and travel needs.

In RV (starring Robin Williams) the recreational vehicle was portrayed as a family vacation vehicle that some may look down on until they try it and learn to love it.

But in the more recent Paul (starring a computer generated alien voiced by Seth Rogan) the recreational vehicle is the mode of transportation for English bachelors on a road trip across America.

Comparing the two variations on Hollywood’s depiction of the recreational vehicle indicates that the Hollywood is right on target in their assumption that the RV industry has been pulling members from different, younger market groups in addition to traditional older markets and the market consisting of established families.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “Hollywood isn’t always on target and I wouldn’t say that aliens are a budding new market just because Paul tries RVing in the movie, but the depiction of younger, single individuals accessing the convenience of recreational vehicles is on target. They appreciate the potential spontaneity and the all inclusive nature of the RV based vacation.”

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.”

Pedata RV Center Releases Top 3 Tips on RV Travel Resources

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases top 3 tips on RV travel resources. As summer approaches more “first time” RVers are planning their summer travel and family vacations. Taking advantage of all the RV travel resources increases the chances for first-time RV travel success.

Top 3 Tips on RV Travel Resources:

1. Online campground directories make finding the best campground for the right price easy. They also make it easy to be prepared for your accommodations. There are listings of features and amenities, etc.

2. Online trip planners or smart phone application trip planners can be extremely useful as first time RV travel is often riddled with misconceptions on how much gas will be needed or how much “time” will be needed to get from one stopping point to the next. It can also help you plan ahead for mealtimes while on the road (identifying roadside cafes, etc.)

3. Your recreational vehicle’s owner’s manual should provide you with all the basic information you need for your vehicle’s maintenance. Pay attention to maintenance recommendations and take care of everything prior to hitting the road. There is nothing more disruptive to the vacation than suddenly not having access to your recreational vehicle…it requires that you replace both your vehicle and your accommodations suddenly and usually at a high price.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “We’ve already got people coming in to check out the recreational vehicles in preparation for their tentative summer plans. Most want to get in their RV prior to summer time so that when it’s time to head out for the actual summer vacation they are comfortable driving their RV.”

Pedata RV Center sells used RVs, travel trailers, fifth wheels, campers, and motor homes.

Pedata RV Center Releases Gas Saving RV Driving Tips

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases gas saving RV driving tips. With gas prices nearing $4.00 a gallon again RVers are looking for ways to get the most out of their every gas dollar.

RV driving tips that save gas:

1. Brake less: Stopping fast and starting fast burns more fuel. Avoid having a lead foot and you should be able to save an average of 31% according to Edmunds.

2. Slow down. Driving at the speed limit can reduce gas consumption by approximately 12% according to tests conducted by Edmunds.

3. Go cruising. Your cruise control button isn’t just convenient; it’s a gas saver. When on longer trips “cruising” can decrease your gas consumption by approximately 7% according to Edmunds testing.

4. Shut down. Too often we leave the engine running because we’re just “running into the store” or “dropping something off at a friend’s”, etc. If you’re going to idling longer than 60 seconds…turn the engine off. You’ll save up to 20% according to Edmunds.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “RV drivers are often quite frugal. They budget carefully and they make the most of every trip and vacation. Part of that is being aware of the potential savings that are out there.”

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 Safety Tips List for RV Travel with Pets

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases safety tips list for RV travel with pets. As more RVers make RVing a steady part of their lifestyle, either as a seasonal home or a frequent mode of transportation for vacation, more issues come up in relation to pets on the road.

Tips for Safe RV Travel with Pets:

1. Can your pet travel? If your pet has never traveled try a short road trip before heading out on a long vacation. Some animals have a hard time traveling and will actually become sick. Discover this before you are hours from home

2. Check your pet’s tags. They need to be updated prior to departure if any of the information is old.

3. Make sure that your pet’s tags include a cell phone or other number that will actually be accessible to you while on the road.

4. Consider other identification devices like the chips that can be implanted in order to find a lost pet.

5. Have the appropriate health certificate. Taking your pet across state or international border lines requires a health certificate signed by a veterinarian.

6. Verify that your pet will be welcome at your final destination before leaving on your trip.

7. Bring a portable kennel for times when your pet will be left unattended.

8. Always keep your pet leashed. If you have a pet that you frequently allow unleashed remember that you are in new territory with unknown distractions and stimulants. Introduce a leash in unknown circumstances. Better safe than sorry.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “RVs have become the solid choice for individuals and families who like to travel with their pets. There are little to no additional costs or inconveniences when adding a pet to the mix of an RV travel group in comparison to other modes of vacation travel.”
