Spring Showers

The Weather Man Said There Was a Chance for Spring Showers
Whenever I hear the words spring showers I start thinking about camping and the different things I need to start doing to get ready for the upcoming camping season.
One of the first things that I was going to do is pull the motor home out into the yard and give it a good washing and then start going through the inside making sure that everything made it through the winter intact.

Much to my surprise when I woke up Saturday morning, instead of seeing spring showers, I was looking at snow showers. That’s right, snow showers.
That kind of put a little damper on washing the motor home as my neighbors would probably think I was crazy if they saw me washing my motor home in the snow.
The weather man said that it would warm up by Sunday and I figured that I could wait until then to wash the motor home. For those of you that live in Washington State you know that when the weather man says it’s going to be sunny and 60, you better make sure you have a rain coat handy. 
Well, Sunday morning came and guess what? Yes, it was snowing again.
I’ve been living in the Pacific Northwest now for 35 years and this is the first time that I have seen it snow in the spring.
Well, I guess I will have to wait until next week and see if mother nature can figure out what time of year it really is.

Tips For Buying A Used RV
March 23, 2008
If you have been thinking of buying a used RV then you need to know what to look for so you get the best value for your money.
 |
One of the first things you need to know is how the RV has been stored. This may not seem like it’s that important, but an RV that has been stored outside without any cover can weather quickly and start leaking in just a few short years.
Used RV’s that have been kept under cover are usually better maintained and are in better shape overall.
If you are buying an RV from an area where the temperatures often drop below freezing, make sure that the RV has been winterized each winter to prevent cracking of the water tank, water lines, waste tanks, and the drains under the sinks.
Many people forget to pour RV antifreeze into the sinks and the drains end up breaking when the water in them freezes.

Go through and test each of the appliances to make sure that they are all in good working order. This includes the water pump, space heater, water heater and even the generator if the RV has one. No body should have a problem with you doing this if everything is in working order.
Ask for maintenance records. This is especially important with motor homes as you need to know if the RV has been well maintained.
Before you go down to your local used RV dealer you should look and see what’s available on eBay. eBay has an excellent selection of used RV’s at very affordable prices.
No mater where you live in the United States, eBay should have a used RV at a great price near you.
Here are some of the RV’s that are on eBay.
