Learning Recreation Vehicle the easy way
A minimal RV typically contains beds, a table, food preparation and
storage areas. Larger models add full bathrooms, refrigerators, living areas, master bedrooms, etc. Some RVs are very elaborate, with satellite TV and internet access, slide-out sections, and awnings; many RVs can cost (new) from less then $10,000 to $100,000 with some costing over $1 million. These high end RVs typically need to be financed by banks or specialized lenders. Many RVers stay at RV parks, most of which feature electrical, water and sewer service (full hookups), as well as cable television and wireless Internet. Amenties often include swimming pools, gamerooms and even destination-resort activities such as horseback riding. While others prefer staying at locations in rural, remote areas, called Boondocking and still others at public campgrounds with minimal facilities. Advantages of RVs include not having to move one's things in and out of motel rooms, not having to rent multiple motel rooms, sleeping in a bed one is comfortable with and the fact that preparing food saves money compared to eating in restaurants. At the same time, an RV provides more organized living space and better protection from the weather than a tent. Children also tend to like RVs. Disadvantages of RVs include low fuel economy for the motorized RV or tow vehicle, lack of maid service as experienced in motels (maid service is available at a few high-end resorts), and larger RV models can be hard for the novice to drive or tow. Some people also live in RVs because they lack funds for more conventional housing. Similarly, RVs '' specifically, trailers which strongly resemble travel trailers, but usually with fewer amenities '' have been used to temporarily house victims of natural disasters. A notable example is Hurricane Katrina; the federal disaster relief agency FEMA has ordered large numbers of such trailers to house victims of the storm in Louisiana and Mississippi. Some people craft their own RVs out of cars, vans, or even used schoolbuses. Elkhart, Indiana, is known as the "RV Capital of the World" because it is home to many RV manufacturers, including, Forest River, Heartland RV, the Damon Corporation, Four Winds, Hy-Line, Keystone, Monaco, Sun Valley, and Travel Supreme. Many other manufacturers, including Dutchman, Gulf Stream, and Jayco, can be found in the nearby towns of Goshen, Middlebury, Nappanee, and Wakarusa. In 2005, these locales experienced a boom because of the large number of trailers ordered to house Hurricane Katrina victims. http://recreationvehiclexfrd.blogspot.com/ |

I know Vans has a big plane with the RV-10, and some of them get pretty elaborate. But full bathrooms, slide-outs, and awnings? |

I just read about an Avionics Change where the awnings are also controlled by the flap handle and supposedly add a little more lift (depending on loading). This also prevents the all embarrassing cross country flights with the awnings left deployed. Are the slide-outs also controlled in this manner? |
