Used RVs for Sale: Maximize Your Summer Vacation Budget

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Used RVs for sale are just one way that Americans have learned to make the most of a limited vacation budget. The days when many of us were throwing out money out the window without a care in the world are long gone. But that hasn’t resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of individuals who are enjoying summer vacations.

The summertime is still THE time to get out and about and enjoy a nice, relaxing break from reality. Most tend to define a summer vacation as a length of time (anywhere from 3 day to a month) spent somewhere else doing something else. Sometimes this means a flight to Europe or a tropical island. But in many cases, flights are no longer the mode of travel. Used RVs for sale are being sought out by potential vacationers who see them as the perfect solution to their decreased vacationing budget.

Purchasing one of the many used RVs for sale decreases expenditures on a vacation in many ways including:

  1. Decreased cost of travel. Flight costs have gone up. And they seem to continue going up. Many don’t realize just how much until they’re at the airport, bags in hand listening to the “additional fees.”
  2. Decreased cost of accommodations. There are some RVers who still enjoy a night or two in a hotel or resort just for kicks, but when you find one of the used RVs for sale and make it your own you have instant accommodations. And we’re talking about excellent accommodations. Most used RVs for sale have an impressive array of amenities and features ranging from a full kitchen to big screen televisions.
  3. Increased mobility. Many find that once they arrive at their destination on vacation they are limited due to the costs of local travel. Constant taxi rides or daily rental car fees can drastically increase the overall costs of a trip. But when you decide to purchase one of the used RVs for sale you’ll find one of the most advantageous parts of the deal is that you not only have your mode of transportation TO your destination, but you have your local mode of transportation as well.
  4. Decreased cost of food and dining. While part of the fun of being away from home is to let others do all the work for you, it can be a bit nauseating to pay those ridiculously high dining out bills and it can be equally as disgusting to continually eat fast food throughout the course of your trip. With the recreational vehicle, travelers often have access to a full kitchen making it possible for them to eat “normal” food and not pay an arm and a leg for it. They can simply drop by a grocery store and put their foods in the refrigerator.

The advantages of buying a RV are many. And it seems that individuals and families looking for a vacation option that will suit their budget are becoming increasingly aware of the fact. How have you maximized your vacation budget through RV travel?

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.

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Phoenix, AZ – Pedata RV Center urges RVers to celebrate fall by making a Fall Festival road trip. Many see the recreational vehicle as a means of summer travel, but in today’s day and age the RV is no longer delegated to the sidelines once summer comes to a close. Long time RVers and “first timers” will be able to sit back, relax and enjoy a road trip featuring fall festivals.

Pedata RV Center’s Gerard Pedata said, “For fall travel the East coast is a popular location. It’s commonly agreed that the eastern regions are able to provide the most perfect representation of the fall season. Travelers get the changing colors on the trees, the falling leaves, the breezes and, of course, the fall festivals.”

Popular fall festivals in the New England area:

1.    20th Annual Harpoon Octoberfest, October 2-3, 2009, Harpoon Brewery, Boston, Massachusetts. This festival is known for: one of New England’s largest Octoberfest celebrations annually featuring fresh Harpoon beer samples, German food, live German Oompa Band performances, keg bowling, the Chicken Dance contest and more.

4.    Sunday River Fall Festival Weekend, October 10-11, 2009, Sunday River Ski Resort, Newry, Maine. This fall festival is known for the Taste of Maine and the 26th Annual Blue Mountain Arts and Crafts Festival, the 10th Annual North American Wife Carrying Championships (the winner of this event wins his partner’s weight in Bug Light)! Additional events include chainsaw woodcarving demonstrations, horse-drawn wagon rides, a pre-season sports sale, kids’ activities, concerts, etc.

5.    Mystic Seaport Chowderfest, October 10-12, 2009, Mystic Seaport, Mystic, Connecticut. This fall festival is known for its Chowderfest, an annual tribute to New England’s signature soup. It also offers a variety of additional New England fare, live music, activities for children and all of the sights and experiences of the maritime museum.

This is just a smattering of the available options in the area. RVers who decide they prefer a certain type of fall festival are encouraged to do some additional research. Travelers can easily make a trip of hitting all the Fall festivals featuring Octoberfests or all the fall festivals featuring local artisans or all the fall festivals featuring local seafood…the options are many.

Pedata RV Center Sees Changes Being Made to Accommodate the Diesel Emissions Requirements

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Pedata RV Center sees changes being made to accommodate recent changes to diesel emissions requirements. Manufacturers are weighing the options that will keep quality standards high for diesel RVs while fulfilling the newly stringent requirements.

The two most common options that are being considered and implemented by RV manufacturers to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions from tail pipes are:

1.    Selective catalytic reduction (SCR): SCR was first patented in the US in 1957 and has been under development since that time. It is commonly used by European manufacturers, but hasn’t yet become commonplace in the North American market. This is the most common option for manufacturers who have European ties.
2.    Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR): EGR is an option for decreasing nitrogen oxides emissions being explored by many North American RV manufacturers.

Both options seem to be viable options for meeting the 2010 emissions requirements.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “It seems as if the majority of US RV manufacturers are opting for the EGR method of decreasing nitrogen oxides emissions. While both EGR and SCR are going to offer a solution…the consensus in the US RV market seems to be that the EGR method is simpler.”
