THE RV BOOK by Mark J. Polk NEW in 2006!
The RV Book is your personal guide to understanding and enjoying your RV. "RV Expert" Mark Polk turns complex into easy, making all of your experiences safe, fun & stress free. RV’s give us the freedom to go wherever we want, whenever we want. But, nothing will ruin a trip or a vacation quicker than not understanding how to properly use and maintain your RV.
Mark Polk, the author of The RV Book said "Buying an RV is a major investment and it can be overwhelming when just starting out. In the book I tried to touch on all aspects of RV ownership; from selecting and buying the right RV to setting it up at your favorite campground. What type of RV is right for you? How do you tow or drive an RV? How do you safely use an RV? How do you take care of your new RV? I have researched and gathered all of this information, into one place, to simplify the entire process of RV ownership. Whether you own an RV now, or you are getting ready to purchase one in the future, I know that by reading The RV Book you will feel more comfortable about using an RV."
For Pop-Ups, Travel Trailers, Motorhomes and everything in between. After 20 years of fulltime RVing, I still discovered new information while reading The RV Book. Mark’s book is so well written and informative... he patiently explains each basic necessity that every RVer should be aware of to assure safe operation of their RV. -Peggi McDonald, author of RV Living in the 21st Century

Editorial by MarkHello Everybody,
Well February started off good for me with the Steelers winning the Super Bowl. Sorry to all of you Seahawk fans. The rest of the month was spent getting ready to film 13 more RV Savvy segments for the RVTV show. The RVTV crew returned the last week of February and fortunately the weather cooperated with us just enough to finish filming the segments before they had to leave.
The other thing I mentioned last month was that we planned to attend a couple of RV shows, and that we were possibly considering upgrading from our Class C motorhome to a Class A. Well we did attend a couple of shows and we also ordered our new motorhome. It’s a 2006 Bounder 35E. I have always been a big fan of the Fleetwood Bounder. I used to sell Bounders and had a very thorough understanding of how they are built and many reasons why I considered a Bounder to give you the most for your money compared to similarly priced units.
It’s difficult to describe all of the emotions involved with the decision to purchase a new motorhome. Of course we are extremely excited and a bit apprehensive, but in all of my years in the RV industry I have witnessed too many people putting off their dreams until it was too late. This has always been a dream of ours and we decided if we didn’t do it now we may never do it. We want the boys to continue to experience RVing while they are still young and want to go, and we want to enjoy the RV lifestyle for as long as we are physically able to.
In a way it was sad last weekend when we were unloading our motorhome and getting it ready to sell. So many wonderful memories were created during our trips and adventures in our Class C. Although it is difficult to let this one go we can’t help but look forward to what future RV experiences the Bounder has in store for us. The really hard part now is waiting two months for it to be built!!
Anybody looking for a good used Class C motorhome just send us an email and we’ll see what we can work out. It’s a 2003 Trail Lite 28QS with 2 slide-outs.

Feature Article by MarkDe-winterizing & Sanitizing the Water System
We have had a very mild winter this year and with spring just around the corner it’s time to start thinking about taking your RV out of storage and prepping it for another great camping season. Some of you who live in colder climates may need to wait a while longer, but the information will still be available at
http://www.rvuniversity.com/ when you need it. This month we’ll concentrate on de-winterizing and sanitizing the water system.
At the end of your camping season you drained the water system, winterized the RV and put it in storage. One problem with this is that on most RV’s when you drain the fresh water holding tank there is still some water left in the tank. Let’s say you do manage to drain all of the water out of the tank. There is still moisture in the water system. Just imagine what can grow in that moist tank while it sits for three or four months. I’d rather not think about it.
This is the water tank that you drink from and the water you use to wash dishes and take showers with. We cannot assume that it will stay safe and fresh like the water system in our home. Contaminated water is extremely dangerous. We not only have to deal with a water system that hasn’t been used for sometime, but when we travel in the RV we hook our water system up to a different water source every time we stop to spend the night some where. We hook up to city water, well water, and eventually contaminated water. You’ve probably heard people say don’t drink the water if you go to Mexico. Well that can be true anywhere.
There are no guarantees that any water is completely safe for us to drink, but if we take certain precautions we can keep our RV water system safe to use. So where do we start? The first step after winter storage is to de-winterize the RV water system. I took this checklist from my
Checklists for RVers E-book to help you with the de-winterizing process.
Depending on how your unit was winterized it will need to be de-winterized. Follow this simple checklist to get your water system ready for this years camping season.
- If you used non-toxic RV antifreeze open all drains and drain the antifreeze from the system into a
container. If you do not have a bypass kit on the water heater, drain the antifreeze from the water heater.
- If you put any antifreeze in the fresh water holding tank be sure and drain it.
- Close all of the drains.
- Re-connect the outside shower hose if it was removed.
- To remove antifreeze from the 12-volt water pump, add water to the fresh water holding tank, turn the
pump on and open all water faucets. Run water through the system and then turn the pump off.
- Take the water heater out of the bypass mode and hook a hose up to the city water inlet on the RV. Turn
the water on and open all water faucets. Run fresh water through the system for several minutes.
Don’t forget the outside shower if equipped.
- Flush the toilet.
- Check the entire water system for leaks.
- Fill and drain your black and gray holding tanks at least once.
- Inspect the termination valve and lubricate the valve handles.
- Treat the black tank with holding tank chemicals.
- Re-install any water filter cartridges you removed for winterizing.
What we have accomplished so far was to remove the remnants of RV antifreeze from the water system. Now we need to sanitize the water system so it is safe and ready to use this camping season. This is another excerpt from my
Checklists for RVers E-bookTake a quarter cup of house hold bleach for every fifteen gallons of water that your fresh water tank holds. Mix the bleach, with water, into a one-gallon container and pour it into the fresh water holding tank. Fill the fresh water tank almost completely full of water. Turn the water pump on, open all hot and cold faucets and run the water until you smell the bleach at each faucet. Close the faucets. If it’s possible, drive the RV or pull the trailer so the water can move around to assist in cleaning the entire tank. Let it sit for at least 12 hours. Drain the entire system again and re-fill the fresh water tank with potable water. Open all of the faucets and run the water until you no longer smell any bleach. It may be necessary to repeat this process again to eliminate all signs of bleach from the water system.
Now that the RV water system is de-winterized and sanitized here are a couple of other ways to assist you in keeping it safe to use:
Always use a white, non-toxic RV drinking hose. Hoses not labeled safe for drinking can contribute to lead and other dangerous chemicals getting in the water. Use the white non-toxic hose for hooking up to the water source and take along a green or black garden hose for all other uses, like flushing out holding tanks or washing the RV. When you’re not using the drinking hose roll it up and connect the two ends together. This will keep dirt and other debris from getting in the hose. The next time you use the hose, run some fresh water through it before hooking it up to the RV.
Next you need to filter the water going into the RV with a high quality filtration system. Water filters do not purify the water but they can control and remove bacteria, lead and other dangerous contaminants found in drinking water. You basically have two choices on how to filter your RV water system. You can install an inline water filter directly to the water line that you drink from, or you can filter all of the water going into the RV. I prefer to filter all of the water going into the RV. This helps to protect the entire water system and even filters the shower water to help prevent any type of skin irritation.
Follow these simple steps can assure that the fresh water system in your RV truly is fresh.
Happy Camping,
Mark

Marks Tip of the MonthIf you have a generator, remember to exercise it on a monthly basis. In gasoline generators the fuel breaks down and gums up causing hard starting and surging problems. This can happen in as short a period of time as one month. I used to think that I could avoid exercising the generator by adding a fuel preservative to the fuel tank and then running the generator long enough to get the preservative through the generator set. You definitely should use a fuel preservative whenever the unit will be in storage, but there are many other reasons to start and exercise the generator on a regular basis. Moisture build up can cause damage to your generator. When you exercise your generator it heats up the generator windings and eliminates this moisture build up. This monthly exercise regime also lubricates all of the engine seals and components and helps to prevent carbon build up.
So, what exactly does exercising your generator mean? For a gasoline generator it means that you start and run the generator with at least a 50 percent load for at least two hours each month. It is extremely important that you run it with this minimum rated load. Generators are designed to run with a load placed on them. Our motor home has a 4,000 watt generator so I can either turn the roof air conditioner on in the summer time, which is about 2,000 watts or I can use a couple of small portable electric heaters if it’s cold out. It’s always better to let your generator run for longer periods than it is for short periods. Check your generator owner’s manual for load ratings specific to your unit.

RV Mobile BusinessThis is something that may really catch on in the future, taking your business on the road. Whether you own a medical or dental office, veterinary clinic, or beauty salon why not make it mobile. A major consideration with our new RV was being able to conduct business when we travel. Here is a site that can help you when you’re ready to go mobile.
http://rvmobilebusiness.com/_____________________________________
Do's and Don'ts for Better Generator Performance The Do’s:
• DO keep your generator clean by wiping it periodically with a clean cloth.
• DO turn off all appliances in cold weather before starting your generator, for best long-term performance.
• DO check owner’s manual for periodic maintenance schedule.
• DO check the exhaust system regularly for damage or leaks. Make sure the exhaust pipe extends out at least one inch beyond the vehicle perimeter.
• DO check the carburetor pre-heating selector (if one is installed) to be sure it’s in the proper position for the surrounding climate. (See your Operator’s Manual for proper settings.)*

Viewer feedback about RV Education 101 RV training videos"Hello to both of you, Dawn and Mark. My name is Stephen Mason. As you both know, when my wife and I went to pickup our TT, the dealer did a walk through with us. And I did ask many questions. When we got home with the TT, I forgot everything that they told me... I had to call the RV Dealer up a few times, and ask many questions. And I kept getting a different person for a different question. THEN the Asst. Service Manager, told me about your RV Education 101 web site. I hurried home and downloaded the 101 RV Tips E book. Wow, so much good information. Then I said to my wife, if the E Book is this good, I wonder how good the Tapes and DVD must be. Well, the next day I contact Dawn and order 3 tapes. When I received them in 3 days, I had to watch all of them. THEY ARE GREAT and very informative. I want to take this time out and tell you both that I am happy that we have people like you both to help people like me who know nothing about anything and now learning a lot from your tapes. Again, thanks to the both or you.
P.S. I also told the RV dealer that they should order the collection of all your Tapes and DVD and I will pass your name around also Steve....

Contributed by Peggi McDonald, Author of "RV Living in the 21st Century"I received an email this week from website visitor Carol stating she just returned from a clean-up tip to Waveland, Mississippi. The damage remains extensive and devastating but it was so fulfilling as well. Carol suggested that maybe several RVers could venture down that way to pitch in and roll up their sleeves. I called Anne Pierson from Happy Camper ½ camp club www.camphalfprice.com/index.php?ref=16&id=6
because she is from there. Anne relayed that most of the ‘clean up’ was being done by church groups and Habitat for Humanity, that would be a good place to start.

There are so many tips from “how to” subjects as well as practical advice on "what to do" when you have medical problems on the road, and how to choose an emergency roadside service. The security tips for your house while you are away and health & safety tips are just a couple of subjects out of many that are invaluable and give you peace of mind! There is so much information we couldn’t possibly list it all.
