Getting Ready for Your Labor Day Weekend RV Adventure

Labor Day weekend is coming up - are you already daydreaming about hitting the road in your RV for one last summer holiday trip? Here’s something to think about. While these summer-ending trips are fun, even the best planners manage to miss crucial details when attempting to rush out the door.

Preventing Trailer Sway

If you have towed trailers for any length of time, you have probably experienced a trailer's unnerving side-to-side motion that begins to affect the towing vehicle. This vehicular tail wagging is called trailer sway, and it should be a central concern for anyone towing a trailer.

What To Do Before You Head Off On Your Next RV Adventure

We are in the middle of summer vacation season, and you’re likely ready to get your RV out on the open road. We don’t blame you one bit – but before you do, there are some important checks and tasks you should perform before leaving your driveway, helping ensure you’ll arrive safely at your campsite and be prepared once you’re there.

How To Tow And Launch A Boat With Your RV

Your RV may be tailored for hitting the open road, but what if you want to also hit the open waters as you explore this continent? Is it even possible to tow a boat with your RV? The short answer is yes, you likely can – but there are some important things to know before you do.

Towing a Trailer in Extreme Heat

Warm summer weather may give you the itch to hop in your RV and explore this country from coast to coast, but beware: those elevated temperatures can also prove challenging to RVs or vehicles towing travel trailers.

What to Know About Shore Power

If you started camping lightly with tents or perhaps a light pop-up camper, you didn’t really worry about electrical issues. If the campsite had an electrical hookup, that was all you needed to know, as it was likely enough to power some lights, charge your phone’s battery, or maybe run a sound system at times.

Before You Shop Floorplans, Ask Yourself This Very Simple Question

A lot of RV shoppers start in the same place: floor plans, features, weights, lengths, and price tags. Those details matter, of course. But before you shop for floor plans, ask yourself this very simple question: Why do I want a trailer in the first place?

What Young Children Really Get Out of Camping

What young children really get out of camping is simple and pure: more time outside, more freedom to play, more chances to notice the world, and more connection with the people they love.

Mud, Marshmallows, and Memory Foam: The New Rules of Summer Camping

Summer camping still comes with muddy shoes by the door, marshmallows disappearing faster than anyone expected, smoky sweatshirts at night, and gear somehow ending up everywhere by sunset. Across Washington, that part has not changed much. What has changed is what campers want at the end of the day. More families, couples, and first-time buyers still want the campfire, the lake, the fresh air, and the weekend escape. But they also want better sleep, easier cleanup, and a more comfortable place to recharge. That is a big reason more campers are taking a closer look at our RV Specials at Valley RV Supercenter.
