Pedata management has provided motorhome and camper trailer users their list of the top 5 things you can do to “go green” while enjoying the RV lifestyle.

1.   Lower your carbon footprint by eliminating the energy expenditures in your home while traveling. Turn off unnecessary utilities before heading out for a long road trip.
2.   Minimize water use by turning off the shower while washing your hair or brushing teeth. Fill the sink with water to wash dishes instead of running it constantly throughout.
3.   Consider alternative energy sources such as incorporating solar panels on your RV.
4.   Check out campgrounds that encourage recycling and provide the opportunity to do so.
5.   Consider unhitching and parking the RV for around town travel or tow a vehicle behind your RV that gets good gas mileage.

The slick wood panelling will top it off by giving it the cool “modern surfer” look.

While it isn’t a well known fact (unless you happen to be an RV enthusiast), Northern Indiana is the very heart of the Recreational Vehicle industry, and over the course of the past year, that industry has been in throes of cardiac arrest. This week’s RV Show at the Century Center in South Bend IN gave RV manufacturers and dealers some hope of recovery for the first time in quite awhile. “I just have a feeling we’re going to come out of this,” said Charlie Merkel, who works for RV maker Jayco of Middlebury.

“The question is how fast?” Merkel says last year’s credit crunch prevented buyers from getting loans to buy RVs, but there are early signs that the credit freeze may be thawing. “I’ve got to tell you by mid-December things have loosened up some, and a couple of other things the dealers over the country have said that retail traffic has been decent,” Merkel continued. “I’m not saying a ton of sales have been made, but there have been some sales. And again the credit thing is huge, and if those purse strings open up enough I think that there is plenty of room for optimism.”
