Traveling Game - Counting Cows!

Road Trip Game - Counting Cows


It's the official start to the camping season, the May long weekend!  Here is a fun travel game that will avoid the "are we there yet" question.  It's fun for the whole family!

Counting Cows

Here's how to play:
Each person counts the cows they see and mark it down on a piece of paper, they get extra points for other animals/objects that you designate before the game starts.  If someone see's something, ie a golf course and calls it out then everyone else looses all their points and has to start over.  The person that has the most points at the end of the trip or the designated time wins :-)

Here is some idea for points:
  1. Cows = 1 point each
  2. Sheep or Goats (in place of cows) = 1 point each
  3. Barn = 5 points
  4. Bear = 25 points
  5. Deer = 10 points
  6. A white horse = other people loose 25 points
  7. Golf Course = everyone must start over but the person who spotted the course
Add anything that you know you will see on your road trip to make it fun, set up teams and split it up so each team can only count what's out the window on their side of the vehicle.  

Happy Camping everyone!

The Best Reasons to go Camping!

The Best Reasons to go CAMPING!


  1. Let's you escape the hectic every day life - Camping is different than most vacations, when camping you can literally do nothing for an entire weekend.  You can prepare all your meals before leaving home so even meal prep is easy.  You don't have to do all that running around that you seem to have to do every weekend.  You could even turn off your electronic devises and be completely removed from that hectic every day life.
  2. Enjoy the fresh air - Spending time outdoors, in the fresh air, you take in more oxygen.  Just pay attention to that feeling you get when you take a deep breath of that fresh air.  That feeling of happiness is because of the breath of fresh air, it releases serotonin!  Think of all the health benefits from breathing in more fresh air and less pollutants
  3. You'll get a new appreciation of Mother Nature - From the majestic mountains to the ocean, lakes & rivers you can have your pick of what to do.  Hiking, biking, swimming, canoeing, kayaking are only a few of the activities that you can do outdoors.  No experience will be the same, even if you've been to that campgound before, it's always a new experience.  To top it off... When was the last time you looked up at the night sky and saw the endless stars and if your lucky the Northern Lights!  Get a constellation map and you`ll be up for hours!
  4. A great night sleep - After your day of fresh air and your night of star gazing you'll have the best sleep!  Tucked away in your comfy RV, leave a window open to continue breating that fresh air, you will hear the crickets, frogs and, well, pretty much nothing and just let yourself drift away.  No traffic, sirens or horns, just the comforting smells & sounds of nature.
  5. Quality time with family & friends - Keep the electronic games and devices to a bare minimum.  Play a board game, cards or sit around the campfire and talk.  You'll be surprised at how much you laugh.  An old fashioned story time (ghost stories depending on your camping group) is a ton of fun, especially when everyone joins in!
  6. You can take your ENTIRE family! - Camping is a dog friendly, cat friendly, most pet's that live with you can go camping (of course there are some exceptions)! Here is a blog post that we wrote to give you tips on camping with your dog, stay tuned for a blog post on camping with your cat. 
  7. Exercise - When camping you spend more time doing physical activities.  Even on a fishing trip your burning more calories than sitting at your desk at work or on your couch at home. You also have more energy to DO more activities, which of course makes you extra hungry to eat all that good camping food :-)
  8. Camping is affordable - When it comes to budgeting for your family vacation, camping wins hands down!  You can go on several trips throughout the camping season(s) for cheaper than taking your family on a trip where you need to fly, stay in a hotel, eat out & paying for the tourists activities.

RVing with your Dog :-)

RVing with your Dog!


One of the reasons people buy RV's is because they want to take their dog with them wherever they go.  There is nothing better than a pet friendly trip with all the comforts of home, this results in a much happier dogs!  

Here are some things to look for, plan for and tips to make your four legged family member happy on your RV road trip.
  1. Dogs are not always allowed in RV parks, hiking trails, beaches or National Parks.
    • Research your breaks, sight seeing, overnight stops before you leave so that you can be aware of where pets are welcomed.
  2. Make sure your dog's vaccinations are up to date, depending on where you are traveling to will depend on what is needed
    • Best to discuss this with your Veterinarian before leaving (also a good idea to do a general helath visit before you leave)
    • Make sure to pack the vacination certificates
  3. Pack all the right gear
    • Start by making a list of everything your pet needs and uses on a daily basis
    • You can always keep a leash, bowl, toys, etc. in your RV at all times so you don't have to worry about packing them each time
    • Always have extra leashes and collars to allow for lost or broken ones and check for leash laws in the campground you are staying (some won't allow long leashes).
    • Drinking Water - if your dog has a sensitive tummy this may avoid any upset
    • Old towels
    • Doggy waste bags, pick up what they leave
    • You dogs favorite bed or blanket
  4. Make sure your dog has an identification tag on, at all times, with the number you can be reached at while you are traveling
  5. Maintain your dogs schedule as close as you can.  This will reduce any anxiety they may feel while away from home
  6. A pet first aid kit, although not essential but could be a life saver. This can be easily stored in a plastic container or you can purchase a full kit online. Some things to add are:
    • Scissors
    • Sterile eye wash
    • Tweezers
    • Tick remover tool
    • Vet wrap
    • Gauze & Telfa pads
    • Medical tape
    • Antiseptic wash or wipes
    • Antibiotic ointment
    • Latex gloves
    • Benadryl - check doses with your Vet before leaving home
  7. Respect those around you, not everyone loves our dogs like we do :-)
  8. There are a ton of activities that you can enjoy with your dog and ones they will love doing with you while RVing.

HAPPY CAMPING!

RVing Tips to keep your RV in tip top shape

RVing Tips to keep your RV in tip top shape!


An RV requires more maintenance than your average vehicle. After all, it’s also a kitchen, office, bedroom and for many a home. Here are some tips to help protect your investment.

Cover Your Roof

RV roofs are especially susceptible to sun and environmental damage. Unfortunately, we often forget about our roofs because we don’t get up there regularly, which can lead to thousands of dollars in repairs. The best thing you can do to prevent this is store your RV under a steel RV carport or traditional RV cover. If you’re a full-timer, you will want to climb up and clean the roof regularly.

Run Your Generator

Letting your generator sit too long unused could mean replacing it before its time. Gasoline has a shelf life of about 30 days before it starts to break down and corrupt the inside of your generator. It’s recommended that your run your generator once every month at 50% to keep everything flowing smoothly.

Open Your Vents

When your RV is not being used during the summer months, the inside coach can get up to 130 degrees depending on your location. That type of intense heat will cause even the toughest materials to break down and fail over time. Open your vents to let the air in. (But remember to keep the outside vents closed to keep the rain out!)

Lubricate Your Slide-Out Rails

Lubricate your slide-out rails a couple of time a year to stop rust and corrosion. You can find a can lubricate spray specifically designed for this project for under $20. A much cheaper solution than replacing your slide outs down the road.

Prevent leaky seals

To prevent leaky seals, use sealing products made specifically for your RV, as home repair materials do not have the necessary properties to properly protect your RV from weather conditions.

Maintain appliances

The fridge, stove, water and heat systems endure a lot of vibration that can result in gas or water leaks. An annual inspection is a must to prevent large bills in the future.

Exterior Frame

Keep it clean at all times. Apply a little auto wax to all surfaces to keep paint, fiberglass, chrome and decals looking news. Be sure to use proper treatment products, especially on RVs with rubber roofs.

When Storing your RV

Always park on solid, dry ground when storing. It’s also a good idea to leave a gap in your tarp. When covering the unit with a plastic tarp make sure to leave an air gap between the roof and tarp for air circulation. Without this, condensation might cause more damage than rain and snow.

BIG RV NEWS!

BIG RV NEWS!

Traveland RV is coming to Airdrie, Alberta!


Traveland RV Buys Former Sunridge Property for Expansion

 
The vacancy left in the Alberta market following the March bankruptcy of Sunridge RV, won't last for long. 

Traveland RV will open a new store later this month at the former Sunridge location just north of Calgary in Airdrie.

Sunridge closed in March, filing bankruptcy on the dealership’s $10 million of debt, the Calgary Sun reported at the time. 

The event opened an opportunity for Traveland, which acquired the property and looks to serve the vacated market, according to Traveland's Chris Clarke.  

Clarke said the company would remodel the property and rebrand the store, which he expects to open mid-month.

Traveland currently operates stores in Langley and West Kelowna, B.C., in addition to an RV rental business. Last year, the RV Dealers Association of B.C. tapped Traveland as its 2015 Dealer of the Year. 

At the Airdrie store, the dealership will sell motorized and towable lines from both Airstream and Jayco. Securing these brands was a motivating factor in the decision, according to Clarke.

“This opportunity presented itself as well as those product lines presented themselves,” he said. “We’re always looking for opportunities, it just has to be the right one.”
Clarke said the Alberta market was also enticing.  “Our idea is that Alberta is a really good market, and we think we can serve those customers well and we want to keep jobs in Airdrie,” he said.

Traveland also announced it would make a $5,000 donation to the Red Cross to help the Fort McMurray fire victims on behalf of Traveland and the new Airdrie store.

The company is looking for sales, finance, service, technicians, parts, porters, detail persons etc.  and resumes can be sent to careers@tlrv.ca.

2016 Tiffin Allegro Red 38QBA Class A Diesel Motorhome



The 2016 Tiffin Allegro Red 38QBA Class A Diesel Motorhome has been setting the pace of the RV industry for four decades. Climb aboard and raise your expectation for quality, design, and luxury. Backed by Tiffin's legendary warranty and support, the Allegro is affordable, comfortable, and as customizable as your itinerary.

Floors in main compartments gleam with the polished elegance of hand-laid vinyl tile, preferred by motorhome owners for its low maintenance and supreme durability.

The cool brightness of LED lighting illuminate’s interiors, using a fraction of the energy of incandescent bulbs to preserve the coach’s battery life.

Modeled on residential styled systems, Tiffin’s exclusive quiet climate control technology circulates air through ceiling vents to evenly heat and cool the entire coach.

Manufactured in-house, the full-size shower stall is crafted of reinforced fiberglass for even support. Seamless construction eliminates leaks while offering an easy-to-clean surface.

Offering more storage than many larger models, the Allegro’s interiors are outfitted with a multitude of handcrafted cabinets, all built in-house from solid hardwood.

An innovation in motorhome construction, our one-piece fiberglass roof provides a seamless solid barrier atop the coach for maximum protection from the elements.

While comparably priced models are equipped with only 30 amp service, the Allegro’s power sources include 50 amp service backed with a 5.5 kw Onan® generator (optional 7.0 kw).

A shatterproof windshield offers an unobstructed view of the road. Tinted safety glass reduces heat and glare, while providing improved visibility.
