Pedata RV Center Releases List of Basic RV Review Components

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases list of basic RV review components rather than the typical comparison of features and comparison of brands. While there is something to be said for knowing that a particular manufacturer can be trusted to provide top quality products or to know that slide outs on certain models have a tendency to stick…the first question is which type of RV is the right type of RV?

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center suggests, “Potential RV buyers who have never owned a recreational vehicle before would really benefit from a thorough study of the various types of RVs. Many show up on the lot without any idea even what type of RV they are looking for and while we are definitely available to help…this situation almost inevitably leads to an overwhelming number of options that lead to confusion.”

Basic RV styles include:

1. Class A: Known as the most luxurious options for recreational vehicles on the road and often sleep up to 8 people comfortably.

2. Class B: Often referred to as a camping van conversion these are ideal for short vacations and weekend trips.

3. Class C: Also known for the luxurious features, but there are also more budget friendly, less luxurious models. They are typically built on a cutaway chassis resulting in a cab similar to that of a truck with a bunk above and a bedroom in the rear.

Knowing at least which class of RV would be most appropriate greatly aids most buyers in obtaining the final result from their purchase they are looking for. Identifying which will best suit the needs is fairly simple once they are identified.

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 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 5 Budget Friendly RV Road Trip Tips

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Pedata RV Center releases Top 5 List of Budget Friendly RV Road Trip Tips. As more new and veteran RV owners request information on maximizing the RV road trip budget, Pedata cannot ignore the popularity of the RV as a budget vacation option.

Top 5 Budget Friendly RV Road Trip Tips:

1. Study. While you’re not going to compile a report and turn it in for credit, you are going to be traveling through areas that will have points of interest and interesting/entertaining histories. And imparting this knowledge and hitting these spots of interest may not even add anything to the total cost of the trip.

2. Do a basic checkup on your RV prior to departure. The easiest way to go over budget while on the road is to pay exorbitant mechanic’s fees to someone who knows you need to get back on the road and get home. Always check the basics: coolant, engine oil, tires, etc.

3. Start a trip file and keep all your vital documents in it (reservation confirmations, tickets to amusement parks, any passports or birth certificates that may be needed depending on where you are traveling, etc.) This will avoid the expense of replacing lost tickets, paying extra for late arrivals at lodging, etc.

4. Pack the necessary clothes. Don’t over pack. But don’t under pack either. It’s tempting to call yourself spontaneous and just throw in your “favorites” but you’ll find that this method of packing leaves something to be desired. Run through your trip mentally and make sure you are packing appropriate items (i.e. swimsuit, hat, sunblock, snow boots, coat, gloves, etc.)

5. Don’t forget the electronics. While many of us try to get away from it all while vacationing…we don’t really mean get away from it all. Remember your camera, your video camera, your phone, your phone charger, your ipod, your ipod charger, your dvd player and charger, etc.

Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center said, “Summer vacations are coming up. We find that the family vacations are even more carefully ‘budgeted’ than those impromptu vacations that take place during short breaks during the year. The easiest way to stay within budget while traveling by RV is to stick to a general plan.”

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 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 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 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.
