More RV Information

Something that I am sure many of you are not aware of is that the materials used to decorate your unit may go obsolete as early as 3 months after production. This creates many an angry customer due to the fact that if damage occurs, owners will be forced to replace obsolete materials with something that may not completely match the original interior. We often recommend a contrasting color that is not a print, but many customers are not happy with that answer. One thing you can do is take good care of your upholstery and curtains. If you have pets, take care that they are not damaging the materials. If they are sitting on sofas or chairs, add a pillow to help protect them. Another cause for material damage is sunfading. If your RV tends to be parked in one place in an outside environment for long periods of time, you will notice that one side no longer matches the other, due to the sun shining into the windows on one side and fading the interior. Avoid this situation by turning your unit in the opposite direction every few months. This is also a good idea for your tires. Tires that sit too long in one position can dry rot, and rv tires are very expensive to replace. I can't express enough, the importance of a good maintainance routine to avoid costly damage and help you get more enjoyment out of your RV.
