RV Travel with a Purpose… RV Care-A-Vanners -- Habitat for Humanity Int'l 1 RV Travel with a Purpose… RV Care-A-Vanners RV travel just got better! Habitat for Humanity International’s RV Care-A-Vanner program offers anyone who travels in a recreational vehicle the opportunity to make a difference — and have fun while doing it — by helping build houses with families in need. The RV Care-A-Vanner program welcomes people of all ages and from all walks of life who are ready to pick up a hammer and help change lives. No Experience Necessary Every RV Care-A-Vanner building project is a unique and rewarding experience. Previous RV Care-A-Vanner teams have participated in house construction, roofing, interior and finish work, renovations and disaster relief. Those who prefer to be non-builders volunteer in the affiliate office or as “go fors” around the build site. There are ample opportunities to learn and plenty of meaningful work for everyone — no experience necessary. RV Care-A-Vanner builds normally involve eight to 20 RVing volunteers and last two weeks, with ten six- to seven-hour workdays. A typical day begins with devotions and includes morning, lunch and afternoon breaks. Volunteers bring sturdy work shoes and gloves, and their personal hand tools -- tool belt, hammer, square, pencil, measuring tape. The affiliate provides everything else including power tools, ladders, building materials, instruction and supervision. A volunteer leader handles the organization and administration of the team. Team members pay their own expenses, which may be tax deductible, and the host affiliate arranges for RV parking — usually free or at a nominal charge. Teams can expect at least minimal electric hookups, access to water and a dump station nearby. Hosting affiliates often also provide lunches and a welcome gathering. Due to safety and hygiene issues, pets are not permitted on the work site. Aside from the opportunity to use existing construction skills and learn new ones, RV Care-A-Vanner teams experience God’s love in action firsthand. Lasting friendships develop as the group parks together, builds together, eats together and socializes. In addition, the team often has the opportunity to work alongside local volunteers and future homeowners — a truly unforgettable experience. Check the Build Listing for builds that fit your travel plans. More Than Houses Habitat for Humanity and the RV Care-A-Vanners are about much more than building houses. Many team members partner with Habitat affiliates around the country to promote awareness of poverty housing and homelessness by speaking to churches, civic groups and local media. Individual Care-A-Vanners often make financial contributions to the host affiliate and houses built by RV groups are sometimes funded through fund raising and donations from the members. RV Care-A-Vanners are encouraged to help defray the cost of the program by donating on line.

Here you will find information and links on such topics as: escrow , financing , insurance , warranties and parts & accessories . Look at tips on selling your recreational vehicle . financing Click to use our financing Links. Buying an RV should be approached with the same care and thought you would use in buying a new home. Banks and other financing houses offer a vast array of options for getting you on the road. With a few simple tips, finding the best one and making the deal will go a lot easier. But, first things first. When you pick your RV, new or used, it is time to pick the right price for it. View information about our financing links. [ back to the top ] insurance Click to use our insurance Links. Nothing will kill a good vacation faster than an unexpected bill. Consider, in your price negotiations, extended warranty options available for all new RVs. With used vehicles, find out what warranties transfer and what don't. In both cases, good insurance is a must. Several companies specialize in RV policies and those that do not may still be able to offer adequate coverage. Know what towing charges are covered. RVs are small houses and insurance policies will need to reflect that. Shop policies carefully and check with other RV owners to get a handle on what is best for the vehicle you are considering and the type of traveling you will be doing. View information about our insurance links. [ back to the top ] finding the right price and rV Use our search engine to do a little comparison shopping to ensure the figure quoted by the dealer or private seller is in the right ballpark. Note, however, that RV prices vary greatly by region and major features, such as engine type and size and their floor-plan. Have a competent mechanic, familiar with trucks of this size, review suspension, breaks the engine and transmission. This is no less important with towable RVs, where the hitch and related gear should be carefully examined as well. As a special note with trailerable RVs, an honest assessment of the vehicle you intend to use to tow the RV is needed. Check the weight of the RV and, consulting your vehicle owner's manual or dealer, make sure that you have enough truck to safely handle the trailer. Special hitch equipment, shocks, and cooling equipment may have to be added to your truck and should be considered in determining what you can afford. The structural integrity of the house portion of your RV and its component appliances is also important when deciding price. Inspect carefully in the interior for signs of leaks. The water damage you see could be less important than the structural damage you don't see. Test the appliances, including heating and AC and hookups to ensure that they are functioning properly. As with any type of recreation vehicle, such as boats or airplanes, RV owners in general are a very approachable community. Don't be afraid to seek out owners and talk to them about models that you are considering purchasing. [ back to the top ] emergency road service The huge popularity of RVs in this country has spawned a growth industry of support services you should consider. Clubs for motorists and those especially for RVs offer group insurance, discounts at campgrounds, and special offers on parts and emergency roadside services. In addition, there are groups that sell memberships to networks of private campgrounds around the country and in Canada and Mexico. In both cases, expect an initiation fee and annual dues payments. Depending on the RVing lifestyle you choose, the upfront cost could save you large amounts of money in the long-run. Research the benefits of each, talk to RV owners, and pick the one that best suits your need. You may want to do this as part of your investigation of insurance coverage to make sure you aren't paying for overlapping coverage if you go with a club and a separate insurance carrier. [ back to the top ] discount clubs Emergency roadside service isn't the only benefit of club memberships. Most offer discount insurance, group rates on parts and discounts at stores, restaurants and campgrounds around the country. There are also clubs specific to the types of activities you like to do. Golf organizations offer greensfees discounts and opportunities to find social activities or a competitive game even when you are far from home. Clubs also provide invaluable trip planning and reservation services. Being on the road can make it difficult to complete arrangements with campgrounds at the next destination and the clubs can help you track down phone numbers, directions and even make the reservations for you in many cases. Finally, the clubs keep on top of state laws affecting RVs and campgrounds and actively pursue issues important to you and keep you informed of news you need to know about. [ back to the top ] warranties Click to use our warranties Links. Most used RVs will be sold in as-is condition from private sellers. With dealers and some individual sellers a warranty on the engine and other major components can be negotiated or purchased. View information about our warranties links. [ back to the top ] parts & accessories Click to use our parts & accessories Links. A great deal of expense and engineering goes into the quality of the ride in your RV but, let's face it, RVing really begins when you reach the campground. Outfitting your vehicle or trailer with the right parts and accessories makes the real difference in creating a relaxing camping experience. View information about our parts & accessories links. [ back to the top ] Escrow Services Click to use our Escrow Services Links. Buying online may also be an option to be negotiated with the seller. Escrow services can bring peace of mind to both sides of the talks in these situations. The services hold the buyer's cash payment, ensuring to the seller that the funds are available and allowing the buyer to make sure he or she is getting what they paid for.
