...Plus how to install a window awning in six easy steps. If you have been around RV's, you have probably heard many horror stories about RV awning mishaps. There was the camper who decided to leave the awning out while they headed to the beach for a couple of hours. When they returned to the campsite they discovered the awning hardware and fabric was on top of the RV, due to a strong gust of wind from a storm that suddenly moved in. There was the camper, which in this case was me, who was driving down the Interstate and the awning tried to unfurl as we were traveling. In my own self defense it was because of a defective awning lock on our new RV at the time. And there was Robin Williams in the movie "RV" who left the campground with the awning still out, in an attempt to make a hasty retreat from his pesky neighbors. There are many other campers with many other awning horror stories to tell. My goal with this e-book is to make sure you are not one of those campers, with one of those awning stories to tell around the campfire. The good news is the awnings on your RV can and will provide many years of reliable trouble-free operation, if we take the time to properly care for and maintain our RV awnings.
Show me an RVer or boater who hasn't had problems with deep cycle batteries and I'll show you someone who hasn't been RVing or boating for very long.

Our Deep Cycle Battery Care & Maintenance E-book was designed to help extend the life of your deep cycle batteries and to save you money. With a little routine preventive maintenance your deep cycle batteries can and will last as long as they should.
I have always said if you're going to buy an RV you need to use it; otherwise it is nothing more than a large and expensive lawn ornament.

Should you make reservations before leaving on a trip? How do you register when you arrive? What kind of site should you request? Do you need a partial hook up or a full hook up? What does campground etiquette mean? How do you determine the right camping club for you? The purpose of this e-book is to try and answer all of these questions and much more.
