Pedata RV Center Releases Top 5 Money Saving Tips for the RV Lifestyle

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases Top 5 money saving tips for the RV lifestyle. Many turn to RV travel as a means of decreasing their overall vacation expenditures. Some turn to the RV lifestyle as a permanent solution to their economic difficulties. But many are unaware of some of the best money saving opportunities on the open road.

Top 5 Money Saving Tips for the RV Lifestyle:

1. Discounts: Never be afraid to ask for discount opportunities. Are you a senior? Check at campgrounds, etc. for senior discounts. Many have them even if they aren’t posted. For instance…purchasing the “America the Beautiful” National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass (accessible to seniors) offers a lifetime pass to all Forest Service, National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation and US Fish and Wildlife Service sites. In some cases this particular senior pass also offers 50% discounts on fees at various RV related facilities and services (campgrounds, swimming, etc.)

2. Discount food and supply shopping: avoid camping stores, supplies packaged specifically for RVs (like toilet paper…instead opt for an inexpensive brand), mom and pop grocers and shopping in tourist areas. You’ll save a lot of money by obtaining food and other vital supplies at box stores like Walmart or Dollar Stores, etc.

3. Ask about potential extended stay discounts at campgrounds.

4. Take advantage of public transportation where possible.

5. Avoid purchasing disposable paper goods…washing dishes will only take a few minutes.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “People new to RVing often overlook some of the more obvious opportunities to maximize their vacation dollar. Taking advantage of these 5 tips is a great place to start.”

Pedata RV Center Announces Their Top 3 “On the Road” Recipes

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Pedata RV Center announces their Top 3 “On the Road” recipes. Traveling by travel trailer? Fifth wheel? Class A? Class B? Most RVers want to stop and enjoy the classic camping recipes now and then regardless of the convenience of kitchen accommodations in their recreational vehicle. Pedata RV Center’s online collection of hints, tips, and advice regarding road trips, RVing, RVs and the RV lifestyle includes top campsites, top campsite directories, popular RV destinations, popular RV features, etc.

Pedata RV Center’s Top 3 “On the Road” Recipes:

1.    The Hobo Dinner: Easy hobo dinner recipes can be cooked on the grill, on the campfire or in the oven. Ingredients are cut up into bite size pieces and wrapped securely in foil prior to cooking. Ingredients often include (but they can be adjusted to accommodate personal preference): potatoes, carrots, onion, hamburger patty, olive oil, butter/margarine, seasoning salt (Lawry’s is suggested), pepper, water or beef broth.
2.    Smores: toast marshmallows over the fire. Then place the marshmallows (still hot) between two pieces of graham cracker with a chunk of chocolate. Eat it while it’s hot.
3.    Peach Cobbler: place peaches and juice (1 large can) in 8×10 baking pan and dot with butter. Make a pastry by combining butter (1 stick), flour (1 cup), sugar (1 cup), egg (1) and vanilla (1 teaspoon, optional). Drop the pastry mix by the tablespoon-full over the peach mixture. Bake it at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

One of the joys of traveling by travel trailer is the joy of having a kitchen on hand for cooking and snacking. It decreases the cost of food while on vacation and makes living and RVing full time possible for a much wider range of individuals. But many RVers appreciate the classic camping recipes regardless if their travel trailer includes kitchen accommodations. They often set up camp and access either outdoor grills included with their RVs or fire pits/campfires in order to toast marshmallows, etc. All the recipes included above can be created over the traditional campfire (peach cobbler recipe can be easily adjusted to be accommodated by Dutch oven).
