Choosing the Perfect Motorhome
Upgrading your camping experience with a motorhome is a great way to improve your family trips. Just make sure you're getting the right motorhome for your family. To help you narrow down the options, Carolina Coach & Camper has provided you with a breakdown of the different types of motorhomes and what you should be taking into consideration when you're shopping around.
Winterizing Your RV with Antifreeze
With the temperature drastically dropping by the day, many RV owners are looking to store their rig for the winter. If this is your plan, don't make the mistake of throwing your RV just anywhere and walking away. If you want to camp again in the spring with minimal hassle and headache, you'll want to take some necessary steps to winterize your RV. One of the most important steps is to add antifreeze to your plumbing supply. With fluctuating temperatures that can drop below freezing, your RV is susceptible to internal damage if the fluids in your plumbing are expanding and contracting at a rapid rate.
Preventing RV Theft
While you're out in your RV or you're planning your next trip in your RV, the last thing you want to think about is what could go wrong. But if you're responsible for the RV and the camping trip, then there are a lot of safety measurs you'll want to keep in mind. One such safety measure is making sure your RV and your family are safe from thieves. RV thieves can break in and steal your belongings, or even worse, they can steal your RV, so make sure you're taking all the necessary precautions against theft.

How to Find a Camper That Fits Your Truck
Truck campers are a great RVing option, especially for couples or individuals who want to see more of the country. They offer more privacy and protection from the elements than a tent, they're very affordable, and they often fit with the truck you already have. Plus, driving with a truck camper is easier than towing a travel trailer.
5 Reasons to Choose a Travel Trailer
Camping is one of America's great pastimes and it gives millions of people a year the chance to get into nature and appreciate our vast country. One of the cool things about camping is that there are many different ways to do it. Whether you like packing your life on your back as a backpacker or you prefer the luxurious accommodations of glamping (glamping = "glamour" + "camping") there's something for everyone. For most people, camping in a travel trailer might be the best option for an unforgettable camping experience. Below we've listed the five reasons why we think this to be the case. If you're looking for a new travel trailer, don't hesitate to stop by Carolina Coach & Camper near Charlotte & Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Preparing for Safer Travel Trailer Towing

This enthusiasm is natural, but before actually purchasing your trailer, you'll need to step back and consider some of the important factors that can affect your towing experience. You've got to get your RV to the campsite in the first place, and the only way to do that safely is by carefully selecting your trailer, getting it and your tow vehicle equipped with all the necessary accessories, and packing it properly before you drive.

Keeping Your RV Clean
Dust, mud, sap, and debris are some necessary evils of RV travels. When you're driving to camping spots, going cross country, or even storing your fifth wheel or travel trailer, there's no way around it: it's going to get dirty. There's nothing wrong with this, as it's perfectly natural, but if you want to keep your RV in good condition, you'll need to learn how to clean it properly on a regular basis. With these tips from Carolina Coach & Camper, you'll learn how to implement a regular cleaning procedure, with everything from roof washing to detail cleaning.
Keeping Your RV Cool
One challenge will always daunt those who want to camp during the summer: heat. Especially here in North Carolina where temperature and humidity skyrocket in the summer months, managing the temperature in your RV can be quite a challenge. And while a huge air conditioning unit can cool things down, it's not very energy efficient, and not all RVs come with them. This guide is designed to show you how to keep things cooler on your next trip without the help of an air conditioning unit so that your trip will be more comfortable.
Beating the Heat in Your RV
Nothing beats getting out with the family for a weekend in the old RV, but when a hot summer day turns your RV into a veritable greenhouse, it can make you wish you'd just booked an air conditioned hotel room. Especially here in North Carolina, dealing with the summer heat can be the deciding factor between a fun trip and a miserable slog. Luckily, it doesn't have to be this way. With a few easy tricks, you can keep your RV tens of degrees cooler throughout the day than it might otherwise be, and that's without even turning on the AC! Read on to learn how, and if you need a new RV with better air conditioning, stop by Carolina Coach & Camper here near Charlotte and Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Motorhome Chassis Comparison
