TIPS THIS WEEK

Bill shared this post from Microsoft: MALWARE PREYS ON FEAR – Computer users' worry about contacting worms and viruses, however the latest fear is about attacks on your PC. This time it arrives via bogus security software. Apparently while monitoring hundreds of PCs, 7 of the top 25 threats directly came in the form of FAKE security programs. Consumers are often tricked by pop-ups that falsely warn of risks to the PC. Users are urged to click a button to rid the PC of the virus… DON’T DO THIS – by doing so, you may actually download the ‘Malware’.

BUYERS BEWARE! My friend Bonnie sent this Blog Post – sorry I do not have the URL to share with you to read it for yourself but their blog should be a heads up for everyone. The post relays… Fulltimers recently BOUGHT A USED COACH at a respected Dealer in Summerdale AL. They were strongly advised by everyone that this was the time to take advantage of a super deal. However even though they bought from a supposedly responsible business – that Dealer neglected to pay off the amount owing on the loan of the coach we traded. They also did not provide a title to the company that gave them the loan on the coach they purchased. That business has since closed their doors.

These two are now responsible to make 2-coach payments and they do not know where their previous unit is. They also cannot transfer plates without a title plus as Fulltimers they have no other home. They also checked with the BBB on the security of this dealer – it was apparently a very upstanding business. Even though a dealer seems to be doing business normally they may be in the middle of their own financial crisis and getting ready to close their doors.

Their ADVICE to anyone purchasing an RV in this economic crisis (and always) is to never accept a coach until you are sure that there is a clear title to it available to you. Secondly be sure your trade in has been paid off before accepting another coach.

PROMOS THIS WEEK

I received a link exchange request this week from Sherry about a DVD or VHS and Ebook they publish. Whether you are a Newbie or Experienced RVer, their RV WALK THRU site is definitely worth checking out. RV Living is not set up as an affiliate as yet. If you buy please let them know where you heard about it.

Spring has sprung and bad economic times or not, it is difficult to keep an RVer down. If a new RV is on your horizon - or you want to compare insurance rates why not contact WAYFARER RV INSURANCE. They are the leaders in Canada (although some provinces have provincial insurances). We have our Fulltimer insurance with them as well as our Luxor and Grand Am. They have treated us great. In some provinces, insurance laws also allow Wayfarer to offer a discount to customers who join Canada’s only National RV Club–Explorer RV Club. Details HERE: Don’t-miss the read… ‘Look for the Difference’

American RVers may discover coverage at EXPLORER RV INSURANCE is also a superior insurance.

If this is the winter for you to venture to Mexico, it may be advisable to buy your Mexican insurance before you leave home. Two companies who are experts in this field are MexAcan.com for Cdns and DriveMex.com for Americans. See full details HERE
