Valley RV Supercenter
The annual Tulip Festival runs from April 1-30, when the flowers are typically in full bloom. But this year, with all the good weather, festival promoters are expecting the flowers to appear about a week early, which would mean around March 23. So you might want to head up then to beat the crowds. You won't find such gorgeous tulips anywhere else unless you want to hop a plane to Holland.The two-lane country roads that crisscross the tulip fields are not welcoming to RVs during the festival due to heavy traffic, so it's best to visit with a car or your tow vehicle. Three very nice nearby places to camp are at Bay View State Park along Padilla Bay and at the beautiful Thousand Trails Preserve in La Conner. Washington Park in Anacortes, with its waterfront and forest campsites, is another beautiful spot perfect for a weekend getaway or longer.
HAVE TURNED TO TRAVEL TRAILERS
One tell-tale sign of spring here at Valley RV Supercenter is the interest in travel trailers. Families come out of hibernation to check out the 2015 models. The Jayco Jay Flight has been the best-selling travel trailer in America for the last ten years and we have an excellent selection. There's a reason these trailers are best-sellers year after year. To learn why, click here. And if you like what you see, stop by Valley RV Supercenter to check out the many units we have on display. Visit here beforehand to see our inventory and our Internet Specials.
With that, I'll say goodbye for now. Hope to see you here again next month.

Fresh water hose tip
When done with your fresh water hose, coil it up and screw the ends together tightly to keep out bugs and dirt while it is stored. Flush it thoroughly before use.
Free RV club membership for active military
If you're an active member of the U.S. military, then pay attention. The Escapees RV Club will provide you with a free membership as long as you are in the service. There are no strings attached. Learn more here.
The key to good tire traction is friction, but this can be elusive depending on the weather. Winter tires are designed to stay soft and pliable at low temperatures, so they will deform and re-conform to all the micro irregularities of the icy surface, resulting in grip. All-season tires are designed to help provide traction in wet and snowy conditions. Their reinforced sidewalls keep the tire shoulders on the road, while microgrooves help provide biting edges that lock together, enabling better grip when turning on wet roads. —From Goodyear
Dump when you can!
Do not assume that a public campground where you are headed has a dump station based on what you read in a directory or other literature. Sometimes you will find it has been closed for repairs or even for good. If you show up with full holding tanks, expecting to dump on arrival, you have a problem. It's always a good idea to seek out a location to dump before you arrive ... just in case.
A little extra water
When boondocking, carry a few gallon jugs of drinking water with you. Use them in the kitchen for cooking, filling the coffee pot, refilling drinking bottles. This leaves more water in the fresh water tank for washing, flushing and other chores.

Product Spotlight
There are very few RVers who don't consider a can of WD-40 an essential item in their tool arsenal. This "can do" lubricant has a wide range of uses, making it a very handy and useful product. Here are some uses for the product that may come in handy:
•Lubricates door hinges on vehicles.
•Restores roof racks on vehicles.
•Keeps rust from forming on saw blades and other tools.
•Removes all traces of duct tape.
•Removes black scuff marks from a kitchen floor.
•Removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.
•Lubricates and stops squeaks on electric fans.
•If you spray WD-40 on a distributor cap, it will displace moisture and allow the engine to start.
•Use WD-40 to help get rid of bugs on your RV or car's paint (if not removed they will eat away the finish).
•Keeps scissors working smoothly.
Rumor has it that WD-40's main ingredient is fish oil, but that's not true: it's mostly petroleum-based. Do you know how it got its name? It was in 1953 when scientist Norm Larsen at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company was attempting to develop a formula to prevent corrosion on missile parts, achieved by displacing water. On his 40th try, he got it right. And so we have WD- ("water displacement") 40.
Lost the owner's manual to your Jayco RV?
It happens: we misplace the owner's manual for our RVs. Well, good news! If you have a Jayco motorhome or towable, then your rig's owner's manual is a couple of mouse clicks away. The first click is here.
Here’s a valuable resource from Motorhome Magazine: annual dinghy towing guides. Download these for free for information about towing a vehicle for model years 2012, 2013 and 2014. Earlier guides are available for $1.99 each for earlier years. If you plan to buy a vehicle to tow behind your RV, be sure you know its towing requirements. In these guides you will learn if it can be towed four wheels down, and if so, if there are any other requirements or restrictions. Get a dinghy guide.
Towing a trailer or fifth wheel?
If you plan to buy a new trailer or fifth wheel, you’ll want to be sure the vehicle is up to the task. Here’s are free guides from Trailer Life to trucks and other vehicles from model years 1999 to 2015 that are powerful enough to tow your RV. Be sure your tow vehicle is up to the task. If it’s not listed in these guides, be wary. Learn more or download a guide.
Valley RV Supercenter tech expert Chris Nelson answers questions from readers.
Q: What should I be doing to get my trailer ready for this camping season?
After de-winterization and a good exterior cleaning you should pack your wheel bearings, clean and adjust your brakes, clean and adjust your refrigerator and water heater, inspect your furnace, check your LP system for leaks and regulator for proper pressure, flush your water system and check for leaks, visually inspect your roof and seals and re-torque A/C bolts. This will satisfy most manufacturers’ maintenance requirements, as well, and provide you with a great start to this year’s camping season.
Q: How often do I need to run my generator on my RV?
You need to run your generator a minimum of once a month with a load (A/C and appliances on) for an hour to keep your generator running properly. It's recommended to change the oil and service your generator every 150 hours or once a year.
Q: My black tank shows full after dumping
This is a common problem with RVs. You will need to make sure you are filling the tank and flushing it out several times to remove debris from the interior of the tank. If the problem still continues, fill the tank to half full and put several bags of ice down the toilet and allow to slosh around as you drive to your next stop, then fill and flush again.

Watch out when camping beneath trees
A few things to think about when choosing a campsite near or beneath trees: First, do not camp close enough to branches that they may sway in a sudden wind: that can annoy you, or worse, scratch your RV's paint. Second, check the area around the tree before selecting a site for anything that may be dropping from a tree — berries, leaves. . .even bird droppings from a favorite roosting place. And if a big storm is brewing, it may be best to stay away from trees that could come crashing down.
Meal planning tip
Prepare more complicated meals when you have full hookups. It's easy to clean up afterwards because you have plenty of water and no worry about filling up holding tanks. Consider making a double portion and freeze half for a future meal. When boondocking, keep recipes simple; use paper plates which you can burn later to start your campfire.
Keep bugs and dirt out of your water hose
When done with your fresh water hose, coil it up and screw the ends together tightly to keep out bugs and dirt while it is stored. Flush it thoroughly before use.
Look inside your dual tires
Take an occasional peek between your dual tires to make sure nothing has wedged in there. If it seems like something has been there a while, it might be best to have a tire shop inspect for damage.
Know where you are
Always know the name and location of your campground including your site number (and gps coordinates if possible). If it's a public campground with no street address, then know which highway it's along and the direction of the closest city. In an emergency you may have to call for help. If you don't know where you are, you could have a serious problem.
