RV Furniture Color Theme

When choosing RV furniture it is useful to know the relationship between color and mood. Color, strictly speaking, is light energy. Energy reflected from objects. For people, it’s the only type of energy we can actually see and, believe it or not, these colors can affect our mood.
Dr. Max Lescher, a Swiss professor of psychology and the inventor of the Lescher Color Test, knew that the importance of color originated from prehistoric man, when their lives were completely governed by day and night, light and dark.
Day brings bright, warm colors, safety with action, and an increase in metabolic rate. Night brings cool, dark hues, with rest, danger, inaction and slowing down.
In the late 1950s, the color researcher Robert Gerard found that in human beings, both psychological and physical activity seem to increase as the wavelength of the light increases. So the brighter the light, the more active humans are.
In other words, colors like reds, oranges and yellows stimulate us more than colors like greens, blues and purples.
He felt the color blue has a therapeutic effect – for example as a tranquilizer and relaxant in anxious individuals and as a way of reducing blood pressure in the treatment of hypertension.
There was an experiment later on to test this theory. Prisoners were randomly assigned to different color themed wings. Some were assigned to wings where the theme was red, some yellow, others blue, and finally green. After some time, it was found that those in the blue and green wings were less inclined to violence than those in red and yellow wings.
Pink also seems to have a calming effect within minutes of exposure. It seems to suppress hostile, aggressive, and anxious behavior.
To test this theory further, medical experts measured how blood pressure, pulse, and respiration rates tend to increase most under yellow light, moderately under orange, and less under red. They decrease most under black, moderately under blue, and minimally under green.
With this in mind, you want to be careful when picking the colors of your RV furniture. Below is a guide outlining what colors bring what moods they bring about.
Red – Associated with: Vitality, Energy, Courage
Physical effects:
Stimulates brain activity, increases heart rate, respiration and blood pressure, gives energy and self-confidence.

It is believed that feng shui utilizes the natural laws of the universe to help you achieve your goal with the help of positive chi flow. In laymans terms, its the art of arranging furniture in order for one to receive good luck. The principles of this art can not only benefit you in your home furniture, but it can be applied as well when choosing and arranging RV furniture.
Here are some basics which can be applied right away:
- Clear up clutter from your RV. Get rid off all the things you don’t need nor love. You want positive chi to move freely.
- Put your seats at right angles to each other. This will also make it more conducive for conversations amongst family.
- Make sure that the coaches and the bed does not face away from the entrance.
- Your bed should not be facing a mirror. In fact, there should be no mirror in the places that you are found off. It is said that this will bring about bad luck and third parties into your relationship.
- The stove in your kitchen area should not be across the refrigerator or sink. The practical reason is that you don’t want heat to go in your refrigerator as it will consume more electricity. The feng shui reason is that you don’t want the elements of fire and water to clash.
- Make sure that you put in as much natural light and air as possible. You wan’t to welcome fresh positive chi into your RV.
- Place your bed against a solid wall.
- If you have a pet turtle. Do not bring him along.
- Pick your parking spot wisely. Stay away from electrical poles as the magnetic fields will disrupt your sleep.
- Place the television set in the living room area instead of the bedroom. I know that this is a hard habit to break. If you must place it in your bedroom, cover it with a plastic (not cloth) table cover when you are not using it.
There are more feng shui concepts that you can apply when you are arranging your RV furniture. There are concepts like object and color placement (where you will make use of a feng shui star chart), there are color coordination principles you can follow, and so on and so forth. If you are seriously want to apply some advance concepts, there are multiple sources online and books on the subject. You can also consult a feng shui master or an interior designer.

Used Caravans; A Buyer’s Checklist
The world of caravanning is an understandable lure for many who want freedom of travel and more affordable holidays. But once you have perused the magazines and seen the pictures of large all singing, all dancing caravans it is easy to be put off by the large price tags. This is where it is important to look at used caravans that provide a far more affordable option to buying new. Buying used however can be fraught with danger unless you know what to look for, hopefully this article can help those find an outfit that is in good quality and worth purchasing.
It is easy to be led by sellers on the benefits of caravans without being realistic about any problems. The following checklist should help first time buyers find a used outfit that is a good deal and will provide years of holidaying pleasure.
The largest issue with caravans is damp. Naturally this is more of a problem with used outfits and should be checked for extensively. Places where damp is an especial problem are the corners and walls; when checking, the joins should be checked carefully to assess the levels of damp. You should also check all of the cupboards and beds for any signs of moisture. If you are really lost recognising these signs, a damp meter that should be available from DIY stores can be useful in giving exact damp levels.
Damp is so important as it can result in a loss of sturdiness of caravans. As a result of damp the cupboards and door handles can become weakened. Checking these areas by giving them a strong tug can be useful, although pulling too hard and breaking the outfit can be costly, especially if at a dealership. The reason damp is such a problem with caravans is the repair costs, having an outfit dried then repaired is a costly and time consuming process that can make a caravan that was a bargain, become far more expensive.
Another important point to check is how secure an outfit is. This means making checks of the locks and window fittings to make sure that the caravan is not easily broken into. As well as the locks, the hinges and general robustness of the entrances should be checked to ensure that thieves are put off. If the doors are faulty it may seem that a replacement is not a major expense but with used caravans finding replacements can be difficult. Windows can be similarly difficult to find although they will usually cost less than doors to replace.
The seals should also be checked thoroughly when looking at used caravans. Although these are not expensive to replace they are usually a sign that damp could have ingressed in the past. Seals are usually acrylic, silicone or oil based, depending on which has been used will vary the price of replacement. It is important to check with the seller when the seals were last replaced as some types of sealant will need replacing every five or so years. Poor seals mean that there is a higher chance of damp, if the seals are in an extremely poor state, it will probably be worth walking away from the deal.
In terms of the exterior, the chassis of the caravan should be checked over with a careful eye. Try to see if the chassis has a great deal of play in it as excessive movement can indicate an unstable platform. In the same vein, checking for signs of warping and bending is important; if you happen to find any indicators of previous work, asking the seller when and why this work was undertaken is an advisable course of action.
Hopefully this advice will allow you to find used caravans that will supply you and your family with many years of happy caravanning. Getting stuck with an outfit of poor quality can lead to an expensive repair bill. By being thorough at the time of purchase you should be able to minimise the amount spent on repairs and maintenance.

If you are in the path to shopping for RV furniture then you have come to the right place. This article will help you get ready to make the right choices for your RV.
There is a plathera of RV furnitures to select from. You have to choose among RV furniture for the dining area, for the living room area, for the sleeping area and so on. You have to be sure to pick the one that fit your personal taste and style. As much as you want practicality and functionality, trust me, you will want to personalize your choices a little bit.
When choosing RV furniture, for both interior and exterior, just stick to the basics and know your budget. Lets look at them one by one shall we?
Outdoor RV Furniture:
These should be durable, easy to clean and can be stored and set up quickly. Your best bet is compact camping chairs. Not only do they fit the criteria above, they are economical as well.
Alternatively, can choose the more “luxurious” padded rockers and recliners if you have a little more budget. Even if they are not as small and compact as camping chairs they they still fit the bill. They are made of a special woven fabric which are supposedly “breathable” for a nice cool flow.
You cant have chairs without a table can you? Picnic tables and foldable card tables are what you want. Whats the use of travelling with an RV if you can’t have a picnic in every other stop.
Basically, for exterior RV Furniture, tables and chairs that are easy to clean and easy to store are all you need.
Indoor RV Furniture:
The first thing you need to know is the dimensions of your interior. After that, decide what type of feel you want the inside of your RV to be. Like I said earlier, you dont want to just have a generic feel in your RV. Road trips can be long and you need the extra punch to make it pleasurable.
Captains chair – You have to make sure that the captains chair you pick is comfortable. Great ones are the ones with swivels so that you can take advantage of the space. Spin that sucka!
A great space saver is a soffa or pullout bed. You cvan get one ready made or make a customized one. This popular choice has a wide array of designs, colors and fabrics to choose from.
Beds – If you decide to get one, you should not only consider comfort but the size as well. Remember that your RV is your home away from home and it should feel that way. Make sure that you pick one that you know will give you a good and comfortable nights sleep.
Tables – should be sturdy. You can stick them to the wall or floor or you can get a foldable one for more space. It really depends on your preference.
Getting RV furniture can be a fun experience. Take your time and know what ambiance you want and you will find that traveling with the right RV furniture will make your travel very relaxing and stress free.

Mercedes Sprinter Is More Than a Mini Van

Advances In The Motorhomes Industry
The production of motorhomes is currently experiencing an up turn in growth that will most likely increase in the coming years. The size and quality of motorhomes varies greatly, from the multi-million pound models that are more akin to palaces than to mobile homes to the smaller tourers that provide a cost effective way to holiday. For the industry to carry on growing however certain changes will have to be introduced to maintain profitability; these changes are likely to affect workforces and methods of construction.
The first concern of industry players is to reduce the cost per man hour used in the construction of motorhomes. By doing this companies will be able to increase their profits by achieving the same number of sales while decreasing the production costs of each unit. Unfortunately for this to occur, it is likely that employment will suffer as customers pursue cheap prices.
Constructing motorhomes will also change. In the past motorhomes were constructed using a ’stick-build’ method, today however this is rapidly being changed. The old method involves welding a frame from individual components and then bonding this to the chassis. This method is however extremely time consuming and expensive; understandably, more advanced methods are now being employed.
The industry today is adopting a system that uses pre-moulded sub-assemblies that fit directly onto the chassis subsequently reducing the man hours of construction and the cost per unit. While this method is not yet widespread, if the industry wants to continue to be profitable, it will have to adopt these methods wholesale.
Motorhomes were in the past constructed from aluminium and wood but this is changing rapidly. Modern plastics can perform just as well as these materials and hence have been extensively utilised. In addition, these plastic components are often pre-moulded and already contain all of the fixtures and fittings as well as insulation. The result is that these components can be bolted straight onto the chassis greatly reducing the time spent on construction; once again making the manufacture of motorhomes cheaper.
Another change that is likely to take place in the motorhomes industry is the power source used in the home. Diesel engines that are largely inefficient and expensive to run are being replaced by turbine engines as these are lighter and use less fuel for the same output. As with much of the motoring industry, solutions such as hybrid engines and hydrogen power are also being studied as a means of propulsion that do not use fossil fuels. Ultimately making motorhomes more eco-friendly is the primary goal.
Modern motorhomes are also utilising increasingly advanced waste management systems. In the past owners have always dreaded emptying the chemical toilet but this is changing with a modern trend for advanced, clean and effective systems. Leakage is an obvious problem with the hazardous chemicals used, so reducing this is an important objective.
Many of these changes, although being used by some manufacturing companies are not yet widespread across the industry. It is logical however that as these methods become more effective they will be increasingly used. With the demand for low prices ever growing and for the industry to carry on being prosperous, it must take these changes on board to maintain profitability.
Motoring expert Thomas Pretty looks into developments used in the construction of motorhomes and how they are reducing prices.
The Importance Of Damp When Looking At Caravans
There are many different caravan dealerships in the UK that sell many different types of caravans that are on offer today. There are certain steps that need to be taken before considering buying a caravan. Although many dealers take very good care of the items they are selling there are sometimes hidden faults. For example, the main problem that people have with caravans is damp and this is primarily caused by rain and water getting into the exterior lining of the caravan. It can get into interior fittings and outer panels and it in most cases is the most costly to repair on a caravan. In some cases it can run up to the high hundreds of pounds.
It is important for dealerships to make sure there is no damp in caravans before they go on sale as it can drastically make the price drop and in some cases make the model unsellable.
Damp can be found in all the walls and roof of the caravan, in order for a person to spot a damp patch in a caravan they need to know what the damp patches look like. The most noticeable sign to look for is a musty smell when entering a caravan. This is a major sign that the caravan has got damp patches and needs fixing. But it is still mandatory to check as well just in case it is a false sign, but also you will need to check if there is no evident smell as the damp may be there but in a smaller scale.
The main areas to check for damp in a caravan are the corners of the walls and the roof lights as water can get into the caravan from these places without any visible damage. Also, around the windows and doors are main places where damp can occur because the sealant holding the rubber to the frame can leak and let water in during rainfall. The panels in a caravan will go very soft and spongy when damp occurs. Also after the damp has done the damage a tide mark will be left on the wallboards and panels, which is an easily noticeable indication to find where the damp has originated.
If a dealership manages to stop damp happening to their caravans when on sale will allow them to keep a very high price tag. This will mean constant service and checks to the caravans to keep them in peak condition. After you have sorted out all the problems that caravans can have you need to decide which caravan would most suit you from the dealership. The range is very wide with very small 2 person caravans ranging to a very large whole family caravan.
To choose which caravan best suits you it is vital to decide what your needs are and what purpose the caravan is going to be used for. For example a very large caravan for the whole family would be used for long family vacations within driving distance. This means the large caravan will have lots of comfort as it will be acting as a small home from the time you arrive to the time you leave at the end of you holiday. This means it will have a lot of equipment and space but this also boosts up the price considerably. If you are a family of no children a smaller, simpler and easier caravan would be good to take on holiday.
This allows you to put your own equipment into the caravan as a smaller model will come with less equipment than a large style caravan. This allows for some customisation and you can do this with a smaller price tag than a much larger caravan. Ultimately the choice is yours, either go for a leviathan of the road or a smaller model, depending on your needs the choice should be simple enough.

Used Caravans, A Buyer’s Checklist
For those new to the world of caravanning used caravans are often the best choices as the initial outlay will be less and if you do change your mind depreciation will not be a large factor. Dealers are probably the best place to start when looking for used caravans, do not expect to find pristine models however, many dealerships do not in fact have clean models, the majority of maintenance work does not begin until a sale has been made. You can however spot a good used caravan from a bad one at this stage, here are some helpful pointers.
So starting with ways to find quality used caravans.
First and foremost you need to see whether the used caravan has a full service history, much like buying a car, having a record of work undertaken on the caravan can be extremely useful. In addition, it is also important for all used caravans to have full documentation such as the handbook and literature associated with any of the equipment.
While used caravans are rarely kept in a pristine condition, it is still possible to take a detailed look around all of the nooks and crannies to look for dirt and possible instances of damp and mould. It is also advisable to judge the seller, if going private this is especially important as a keen caravanner will be able to sell you a ‘van that they can recommend personally. The same can be said for dealers, if they have a good idea of how a ‘van performs on a trip, this can be useful knowledge.
Speak to your friends and others with experience of caravans. They may be able to recommend a specific dealer or even give you information on the best model or layout for your needs. As well as personal recommendation read some magazines articles on which models are best. It is worth remembering however that the majority of ‘van reviews occur when the model is new and for only a short period of time, they will rarely give information on how a ‘van performs after a number of years.
Test everything when you are looking at used caravans, this includes doors and locks, the cupboards and even the toilet. Some of these things can be expensive to replace so knowing if they work before you buy can be extremely useful. Ultimately you want to find caravans that have been used well but not so much so that they seem neglected. A well used caravan may have some useful additions and shows that it has been loved and cared for; go on your first impressions and should not go far wrong.
In terms of spotting bad caravans;
Use you nose. If the ‘van smells musty or damp it is probably worth being wary, do not confuse damp with smells from the waste water system, this can be easily remedied if cleaning fluids are used. If there is no warranty from the dealer you should find out why, and most probably walk away. Check carefully for exterior cracks and damage that may indicate that the caravan has not been well cared for. Replacements parts and repair work can be extremely expensive so bear in mind any costs that may be encountered after purchase. Also check the chassis for warping and damage and whether any work has been undertaken that looks bodged. Fixing the work of a DIY happy caravanner can be extremely time consuming and costly.
If you follow this advice it should be possible to find many used caravans that meet your requirements. Before you know it you could be enjoying touring holidays and great times in your new home from home.

Hitch Your Trailer: How Trailer Length Affects Towing Stability
May 29, 2008 by JeremyDuane
Filed under RVs
Imagine this scene: you and your family are out enjoying your brand new travel trailer. Not only is your trailer new, but so is your shiny new towing vehicle. Let’s say that’s a heavy duty diesel pickup truck, and it’s an extended, four-door cab that has plenty of room for your wife and your kids.
This really a big part of the traditional American Dream isn’t it? Quality family time with a recreational vehicle, getting away from civilization, but doing it in the comfort of a brand new travel trailer. I don’t think it could get much better.
There’s only one problem. It’s a windy day. When you were picking up your new travel trailer at the dealership the other day it never occurred to you just how scary it could be to tow your nice long trailer down the highway in a serious cross wind.
Dealing with the wind is a fact of life if you’re going to be any kind of RV enthusiast, so make sure you understand how to tow safely in it.
It really all comes down to the length of your trailer relative to the length of the vehicle you’re using to tow it with. Think of it this way – it’s all about leverage. If your trailer is long relative to the wheelbase of the vehicle you’re using to tow the trailer, you could be in for an interesting vacation.
A travel trailer has a broad profile in the wind, so if mother nature is blowing hard, or if you’re getting passed by tractor trailers at high speeds, your trailer basically acts as a sail. It’s not unlike carrying a piece of four foot by eight foot plywood.
If you’ve ever had that experience you know what I’m talking about. The plywood acts like a sail and it can drag you all over the place if you don’t know how to handle it.
The same way it takes strength to handle that plywood in the wind, it takes a long wheelbase on your tow vehicle to handle the tug of a relatively long travel trailer. If you’ve got a twenty-three foot boxy trailer and you’re pulling it with a small SUV, chances are you’re going to get jerked around quite a bit.
But, that same small SUV would have no problem at all with a small folding tent trailer. It’s all relative.
As a general guideline I’d suggest that you could pull a trailer approximately twenty feet long as long as your vehicle has a wheelbase of at least 110 inches. So that’s about nine feet of wheelbase to handle twenty feet of trailer.
If you want to get a longer trailer, I’d recommend that you have at least four inches of wheelbase for each additional foot of trailer length. That way you’re always making sure to keep the ratio of trailer length to wheelbase high enough.
One last thought is you should not only consider the total length of the trailer, but also the distance from the coupler (or tongue) to the axle of the trailer. There will be a big difference in stability for a trailer where that coupler to tongue distance is really short, compared to one where it’s really long.
Jeremy teaches people about hitch covers and also advises them on the right way to set up a trailer hitch.
Helpful Tips For Caravan Owners
Once you have been to the caravan dealership and found your ideal caravan there are certain tips that can make your caravan holidays that more enjoyable. Studying the forecourt of the dealership can be an arduous affair, deciding on the size and type of caravan you want as well as taking into account the towing power of your car. The dealership will naturally want to sell you their best models but remember to keep the choice yours and only come away with an outfit that suits your purposes. For travellers, here is a list of helpful hints that can make your caravan trip easier.
Experienced caravaners and even advisors at the dealership will most probably advise you to make a list of the fundamentals that you will need on your trip and to laminate it. This way, before you embark on any caravan holiday you have a list that you can check against before you leave, as it is laminated, all you have to do before your next trip is to wipe it clean and start again.
Towing, as most dealership professionals will tell you is one of your most important concerns on any caravan holiday. Part of this is to ensure your wing mirror extensions are securely attached. A handy hint is to strap the extensions on diagonally as this makes them fit far more snugly.
The caravan dealership should make you acutely aware of the security issues surrounding owning a caravan. Naturally you will need to keep your outfit locked up when you are not using it but an added piece of advice is to keep the handbook and instructions with you rather than in the caravan, this way the thieves will have a harder job re-selling your caravan after they have stolen it. A helpful hint for travellers is to keep a disposable camera in your car just in case an accident occurs, this way you can take an immediate record of the accident in case there are any insurance issues.
Storing your caravan during the winter can be fraught with problems; it is hardly an option to head down to the dealership every year to buy a new one and hence maintaining your caravan is essential. One way to keep your fridge in good condition is to keep the packets of silica gel that come with new shoes. By placing these in the fridge when it is not in use, smells and mould will be kept to a minimum. Not only will this prolong the life of your fridge but also make cleaning your caravan easier. An addition to this is to ensure all of the water in your caravan is drained over the winter, the damage caused by frost and freezing can be catastrophic.
Flies are a constant gripe of the caravanner; it is often the case that after a long journey the front window of your caravan is covered with dead flies. Many will endure the constant scraping and cleaning every time you head out on a journey but there is an easier way. By fixing cling film over the front window all you will have to do on arrival is to remove the cling film and hey presto, the window will be clean. Another cleaning tip is for those who want to remove the dealership stickers, rather than scrubbing with water, applying a small amount of petrol or lighter fluid the stickers will make the stickers come off easily.
Hopefully these tips have helped the caravanner make their ownership more enjoyable. Ultimately they make life easier and should prolong the life of your outfit, after all, a caravan is a large investment and securing this investment is important. If you want years of enjoyment and brilliant holidays, these tips should help you.
