Used RV

The Most Complete RV Resource Recreational Vehicle Recreational Vehicle (or RV) is a term used in North America to describe a large enclosed piece of equipment with wheels designed to be moved from place to place for people to temporarily live in and be protected from the elements while away from their permanent home. While RVs are intended for brief leisure activities such as vacations and camping, some people, especially retirees, live in their units and are known as fulltimers. RVs can be rented in major U.S. and Canadian cities. There are different classes of vehicles generally labelled as RVs: A truck camperTruck Camper - unit is affixed to the bed or chassis of a pickup truck. Folding Camping Trailer - also known as a pop-up trailer; a light-weight unit with sides that collapse for towing and storage Travel Trailer - heavier unit with rigid sides designed to be towed by most vehicles by means of a bumper or frame hitch Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer - designed to be towed by a pickup truck equipped with a special hitch in the truck bed Park Model - designed for occasional relocation and will require a special tow vehicle and a highway movement permit Motorhome ("Winnebago", a product of the Winnebago Company that dominated the market for many years, was long a synonym for a motorhome, but this usage has faded in recent years.) Class A Motorcoach - constructed on a specially designed motor vehicle chassis, typically resembling a bus Class B Campervan - built using a conventional van, to which a raised roof has been added Class C Mini-motorhome - built on an automotive manufactured chassis with an attached van cab section Toterhome, a motor home built around a semi truck chassis such as a freightliner. This type of motor home allows you to pull large and heavy trailers while having all the conveniences of a large motor home A minimal RV typically contains beds, a table, food preparation and storage areas. Larger models add full bathrooms, refrigerators, living areas, master bedrooms, etc. Some RVs are very elaborate, with satellite TV and internet access, slide-out wall panels, and awnings; many RVs can cost in excess of $100,000 and some can cost over $1 million. These high end RVs typically need to be financed by banks or specialized lenders. Many RVers stay at RV parks, most of which feature electrical, water and sewer service (full hookups), as well as cable television and wireless Internet. Amenties often include swimming pools, gamerooms and even destination-resort activities such as horseback riding. Advantages of RVs include not having to move one's things in and out of motel rooms, not having to rent multiple motel rooms, and the fact that preparing food saves money compared to eating in restaurants. At the same time, an RV provides more organized living space and better protection from the weather than a tent. Children also tend to like RVs. Disadvantages of RVs include low fuel economy for the motorized RV or tow vehicle, lack of maid service as experienced in motels (maid service is available at a few high-end resorts), and larger RV models can be hard for the novice to drive or tow. Some people also live in RVs because they lack funds for more conventional housing. Similarly, RVs ? specifically, trailers which strongly resemble travel trailers, but usually with fewer amenities ? have been used to temporarily house victims of natural disasters. A notable example is Hurricane Katrina; the federal disaster relief agency FEMA has ordered large numbers of such trailers to house victims of the storm in Louisiana and Mississippi. Some people craft their own RVs out of cars, vans (vandwellers), or used passenger and school buses. Elkhart, Indiana, is known as the "RV Capital of the World" because it is home to many RV manufacturers, including, Forest River, Heartland RV, the Damon Corporation, Four Winds, Hy-Line, Keystone, Monaco, Sun Valley, and Travel Supreme. Many other manufacturers, including Dutchman, Gulf Stream, and Jayco, can be found in the nearby towns of Goshen, Middlebury, Nappanee, and Wakarusa. In 2005, these locales experienced a boom because of the large number of trailers ordered to house Hurricane Katrina victims. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

"We have been with RV Trader Online (RVTO as I like to call them) since the early part of 2003. We have been tracking our business from this resource since mid March 2003. In April we created a link between our personal website www.blainejensen.com and RVTO. This link allows us to input our inventory on RVTO and have it show up on our website under our inventory tab. Our users like that they can sort the inventory and at a glance see what we have on our lot. We even have it sorted between new and used. It seems that nearly 75% of all our customers that contact us mention that they saw our inventory online. I would say that dollar for dollar it is the best advertising we have ever pursued. In the past we were only able to sell to individuals that were in about a 350 mile radius. In contrast, since we have listed our units on RVTO, we have sold to people as far away as Minnesota and North Carolina. Europeans looking at our inventory have contacted us as well. We have positioned ourselves to be the leading rv dealership in the Intermountain West. We expect to maintain that position by associating our business with RV Trader Online." Adam Bowers Sales Coordinator "The RV Trader Online has been a great addition to our business. Over the past couple years we have sold units to customers in Nevada, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Texas....all because of Trader-Online. The RV Trader is both customer and company friendly, which makes it a great addition to any company. Also, the support staff is always eager to help work out any problems that may arise. I would highly recommend the RV Trader-Online to any RV Business who is serious about increasing their Sales Department!" Ben Blowers Brunk's RV Online Sales "Simply put, I could not have bought my new house and boat if it wasn't for the traffic provided to me by RV Trader Online. I can update my web page all I want, I can spend money with search engines for top rankings all I want. I am absolutely convinced by the numbers, and the cash in my pocket, that it would all be worthless if I didn't use RVTrader Online. In fact, the little we spend with RTO is the only advertising dollars spent that return positively trackable results. Profit!!! Thank you RVTraderOnline!" Jason Oberg www.baydos.com "I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for convincing Ronnie Bock's Kerrville RV to give RV Trader Online a try. Today RV dealers have many opportunities to spend their advertising dollars, most to no avail. Hands down Trader Online has produced more direct sales outside of our local market than television, radio, and printed materials combined. Just this week, we sold to a customer from Alaska who found us on Trader Online. This is only one example of many "out of state" sales Trader Online has produced. Thank you for your continued assistance and support. I manage my own site so customer service is important to me. I am a beginner when it comes to computers, but your program and technical assistance makes it easy. Once again, thank you for our partnership and our future success!" Todd A. Bock General Manager Ronnie Bock's Kerrville RV "RV Trader online has helped the RV Corral become one of the largest Winnebago dealers in the west. Since hooking up with RV Trader Online we have sold new RV's to people we would have never reached before. Our store in Eugene, Oregon has sold RV's to people from Alaska to Minnesota through RV Trader Online! Not only new units, but our pre-owned motor homes, trailers, 5th wheels have been sold because of our exposure on RV Trader Online. The hits on our website have doubled since we signed up with RV Trader Online. I feel that RV Trader Online is my best spent advertising dollar! The RV Corral and RV Trader Online - Partners in Sales." The RV Corral Jerry McCall - Owner "We have been so excited about the sales growth and extended coverage we have gained from RVTraderOnline.com! Your staff has been very helpful and courteous. We have noticed that there has been a huge increase in our sales (especially used trailers), because we have used your company this year." Stoney's RV "Just a quick line to let you know what a great sales tool that your Website has been for us. We have received calls, resulting in sales from across the nation. Your staff has been extremely helpful as we are completely computer illiterate and very hesitant to sign up. I would highly recommend your service to any company involved in sales. You have definitely been an asset to our company. I feel that you are our best advertising for our money." Melinda DeMeo Atwood Trailer Sales & Service NE Mineral City, Ohio "Being a small RV dealer located in Boone, NC, I was uncomfortable with the idea of Internet advertising because I didn't understand it. RVTraderOnline.com made it easy to understand and it worked. Of the three units I initially listed, we have sold two within the past month. Thank you, RVTraderOnline!" Ruby Norris Norris Motorhome Sales "Our inventory listing on RVTraderOnline.com has increased our sales more than any other form of advertising. Over 80% of our business comes directly from customers who have seen our listings on RVTraderOnline's website. We have sold RV's to people all over the country from Long Island, NY to Albuquerque, New Mexico and many stops in between! We have even been seen internationally by customers in Taiwan and Australia. Thanks to RVTraderOnline.com, our customers can find us wherever they are!" Kelley Lamb Top O' Hill RV "I've been really impressed with RVTraderOnline.com's Inventory Management Tool. We've seen a 50 percent increase in the traffic coming to our website from the RVTraderOnline. I also like the ability to manage dealership information at my end." Nate Davey Demartini RV Sales Grass Valley, CA "I wanted to thank you for our internet success. As one of the larger RV Dealers in the Southeastern part of the country, we are always looking for good ways to draw attention to our product. The best we have found so far is RVTraderOnline.com. We use several internet services along with other means of advertising and we very carefully track customer response with individual 800 numbers. So far nobody even comes close to providing the kind of traffic we get from RVTraderOnline.com. In just a few weeks we move to our new 35 acre facility and we are counting on RVTraderOnline.com to help us continue to grow. The RVTraderOnline site is a pleasure to use with no log offs or time outs. You keep up the good work and we'll keep selling Recreational Vehicles."

Mobile homes, on the

1978 Santa Barbara Earthquake: Mobile Homes and Earthquakes The 1978 Santa Barbara Earthquake: Mobile Homes and Earthquakes A typical wood frame house of modern construction is securely bolted to its foundation. Mobile homes, on the other hand, simply sit on pedestals or stands, making them particularly vulnerable to earthquakes. During the 1978 earthquake 324 mobile homes were damaged in Goleta. Many of these mobile homes were knocked from their pedestals, rupturing gas, water, and electrical connections. In the Santa Barbara West Mobile Home Park in Winchester Canyon, over 35% of 147 mobile homes were knocked off their pedestals. Many of the pedestals ended up sticking through the floors of the mobile homes. One mobile home was destroyed by fire in a gas leak. In contrast, conventional homes in Goleta were relatively unscathed, suffering only cracked plaster, broken glass, and loosened plumbing. In a 1980 study by Steinbrugge et al., it was found that in high intensity earthquakes mobile homes suffer damage double wood frame houses, and in moderate intensity earthquakes, the difference is even greater, mobile homes suffering damage at a rate of five times a wood frame houses. Much of this is due to the insecure placement of the mobile homes on loose pedestals. Sources K. V. Steinbrugge, E. E. Schader, S. T. Algermissen (1980).
