TIPS THIS WEEK

DIGITAL TV TRANSITION DATE POSTPONED… The TV(s) in older RV’s will likely pick up signals until late this spring. The transition to digital TV has been officially postponed until June 12. The new switchover date delay is voluntary, meaning that broadcasters are only required to turn off their analog signals by June 12. If they choose to, they can do it anytime after Feb. 17 - the original planned cut-off. Once the analog spectrum is officially vacated it will be used by public safety services and other companies that purchased rights to the airwaves last year. This blurb came across my inbox several times so I am passing it on. Read MORE HERE...

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR RV'S FRESH WATER TANK by Mark Polk of RV Education101.com… Mark relays the water system in your RV provides water to drink, wash dishes and take a shower. Don’t assume it will stay safe and fresh like the water system in your home… We RVers hook up to city water, well water, and eventually contaminated water. Possibly the most important step you can take is to keep the fresh water system sanitized. It's simple to do. Story HERE

This report came from my daily Google RV Alert/motorhome magazine – CALIFORNIA BANS FORMALDEHYDE-BASED RV TOILET CHEMICALS - This popular toilet chemical has been used for years - I too have stressed that RVers don’t use it. Formaldehyde destroys the good ‘bugs’ in dump station holding tanks. Read full story HERE…

One more Interesting Daily Google RV Alert worth passing on. HOW TO TAKE A NEARLY-FREE VACATION. The writer enjoyed a super vacation getaway in a rented luxury RV at a 90% savings – He was delivering an RV to another venue. He drove to the Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert in N. Arizona plus MORE…

PROMOS THIS WEEK

In today’s Google RV Alert this story features a most INNOVATIVE RV – most interesting… When this type of Class A is set-up in a park, the front portion disconnects to become a tow car. Part that is left resembles a 5th wheel design. NEAT! - story HERE!

I stress to everyone – ALWAYS be cautious of EVERY attachment you open. Donna & George shared this ‘new’ VIRUS that affects those using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL etc. Full story is explained HERE The Para below from Snopes verifies this threat - but it is apparently not a current one.

Report as of 30 Nov 08… “This latest version is difficult to classify as either "true" or "false": The virus it references (i.e., the Mail Server Report worm) was a real one, but it's neither new nor currently rampant (as claimed in the warning text), nor does it manifest itself in the fashion described (since the "symptoms" provided in the warning are merely a reworking of the text of an earlier virus hoax). All in all, that message doesn't really merit the dire warning to "SEND A COPY OF THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS – and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!"

THE RV ORIENTATION IS A FREE RV DVD - HERE This DVD is 54 minutes long and packed with info on topics like campground setup, the LP gas system, water system, electrical system and much more.
