Memorial Day

2009-05-12T08:25:00.000-07:00

The first offiical weekend of summer requires a great camping trip.

Imagine the whole family at the lake. You can start the morning with a hike. Make sure to take some feed for the small animals. Once back at camp you can get some eggs and bacon out of your mini fridge, and cook up a great camp breakfast on your three burner stove.

After breakfast you take the kids swimming. Maybe you do a little fishing to see what you can catch for dinner.

When you get back to camp you can rinse the kids off with the outside shower, and take a nap with the breeze blowing through the tent flaps.

As afternoon fades into evening you clean up your catch and cook it up on your RVQ Grill. After dinner you can take a walk down to the water and watch the animals drinking just at the edge. Then you can sit around the campfire and take turns telling stories until everyone is to sleepy to stay awake anymore.

I cannot think of a more perfect Saturday. Hope to see you out there in your pop-ups.

RV Hall of Fame

2009-05-05T13:00:00.000-07:00

My good friends Pete and Barbra Bandt Recently went to visit the RV Hall of Fame. They E-mailed me these great pictures.

This is a 1928 Pierce Arrow Fleethouse Car. Only one of three built in Buffalo, NY.

They weren't able to go inside so they held the camera to look inside of the windows.

This is amazing.

The quality and thought that went in to building these.

I hope ya'll enjoy these pictures as much as I do.

RV Wash

2009-04-30T07:31:00.000-07:00

There is a new place to wash your RV.

Over on Waldron rd in Flour Bluff they have finally built a RV and boat wash. It is plenty big enough to handle any size RV wether you have a small pop-up or a 40' motor-home. I tried it out last night and it was great to not drive half way out of town just to get clean. After your next trip stop off and give the new RV wash a try.

Words of wisdom from CC the RV (That’s Me!)

There has been a lot of bad news in our world lately and I think the biggest reason is we have forgotten what to do when things get tough. First we need to be proactive. Second we need to unwind. I will leave you to figure out how to be proactive in your life and I will discuss how to unwind and of course I will make sure it has something to do with camping!

In stressful times we need to remember what was made for us to enjoy. We forget to turn off the TV, turn off the computer, and just go outside. It was made for our enjoyment. Watch the birds, enjoy the sunset, walk. We take all of these things for granted almost each and every day and now is the time to stop watching the doom and gloom on TV and the internet. Stop monitoring your losing stocks every hour, it wont change today. Just stop everything negative and thing of everything you have that is positive. When we stop looking at all the good things around us and focus on the negative we have lost. Right now there are many lost people out there. I think 10 minutes of watching the news proves that. Are you one of them? Do you want to fix it, or would you rather just sit back and wait for the world to change first?
First step: GO OUTSIDE! Make your kids go outside! Make your wife, husband, Mother, Father etc. go outside! Go to the lake for the weekend. Go Camping! What is a better way to enjoy the outdoors then an RV? Its even ok to camp in a tent but it gets hot down here and frankly we are accustomed to A/C. Now I have seen people lug a window unit and have it stick out a tent but you’re still sleeping in a T-E-N-T!

Every time I go out it takes me 2 days to unwind. The first day I am so concerned about getting there I am a wreck. I call work every few hours, they are calling me… I need to find the best spot, set up, make a fire, cook, make beds for everyone oh yea I am supposed to have fun. The next morning we need to take a walk, go fishing, see this, see that, cook, get some fire wood… and then I slap myself in the head and say “Hey, your not in a hurry, relax.” And then I do. I take the world at its pace. The pace of nature. Find the longest trail and take it.

Just don’t get lost.

In the News

CCRV wants to thank everyone for coming out to our Open House last month. It was a huge success. We have pictures on our webpage in the photo section.

Although there is a lot of bad news in the Industry right now we have not been affected too much. We have not lost a single lender, are manufactures are doing well and it seems all of our suppliers are doing ok as well.
We have changed some of our inventory around a little bit so we have more resources to buy some of the repos and closeouts from closed manufactures and dealers in other parts of the USA. We are partaking in auctions all across the country to get you the best deal. There is no better time then right now to buy an RV. You can save a lot of money.

Storage: I want to brief all my current owners of a situation that is occurring all over. RV break-in while in storage lots have been increasingly problematic. Many times there is more damage done to the RV then the value of the items stolen. Even though you may be able to afford it, do you really want to spend $500 on your deductable right now? We offer very secure storage. Not only is our lot gated. We have a state of the art security system that uses laser beams. They spider web and crisscross, and cover the perimeter of our lot. They are always on when we are not here. It is monitored by the security company, us, and the police. I am talking 007 people! Now I can never guarantee nothing can happen but its really hard to jump a fence, get in a locked RV, get something, get back over a fence, while a siren screams and a police officer is watching. We charge $45 a month. We park it for you. Safe and secure.

Untill next time...
