Here is one for you. On March 23, 1839, the initials “O.K.” were published for the first time in the Boston Morning Post.

I wonder what people said before “O.K.” when they meant ok. One publication says the letters were meant for an abbreviation of “oll correct” which was a popular slang version of “all correct”. Whatever.

If you like to travel and are looking for a vehicle that is really ok, why not try a Roadtrek from Dave Arbogast in Troy, Ohio? The best selling Class B van in America for what seems like forever (ok, two decades) The Roadtrek has an 85% approval rating from the people who know them best.

You will be “OK” with the Roadtrek’s many features. It’s one of the best handling Class B vans on the road today, and with it’s smaller size, it is much easier to park than a full sized SUV or RV.

Gas prices are soaring, and a lot of people are beginning to scratch their heads.

The summer travel season is right around the corner, and many are putting travel plans on hold until the see where gas prices go.

The average price of gas is $3.52 a gallon nationally, and in California, it’s 40 cents more than that. That really adds up on a cross country trip, but there is a solution for those who still want to travel—Roadtrek.

Roadtrek is the best selling class b van in the country, and has been for the past 20 years. With gas prices increasing 34 cents over the past 2 weeks, Roadtreks make even more sense.

They are easy to drive. Parking is a breeze because of their smaller size. But the kicker is that Roadtreks are much more fuel efficient than full sized SUVs or RVs. And when gas costs what it costs today, that’s a big deal indeed.

The Roadtrek can help you save in other ways on your trip. You can sleep in the van, meaning no more expensive hotel rooms. Imagine how much that could save you over the course of a 2 week, cross country road trip. You can fix your own meals, meaning no more long waits at expensive restaurants. Keep that money in your pocket as well.

See, it’s not your vacation plans that need changing, just your transportation. And there is no place better to shop for a Roadtrek than at Dave Arbogast Van Depot in Troy, Ohio.

I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

This world is crazy enough, and now comes the story from The Ohio State University that football coach Jim Tressel may have violated NCAA rules.

What!!!!!

The story goes that Tressel knew about his players selling memorabilia for cash and tattoos long before the University learned of it in December. It is a direct violation of NCAA rules and Tressel’s contract if he knew of violations and did not report them immediately.

It really doesn’t sound like such a big deal, but if the allegations are true, Ohio State would have no recourse but to fire a coach who has won 106 games and made three national championship game appearances in ten years as head coach.

So that’s it—I’m leaving. It’s time to get away from the madness—and if Jim Tressel gets fired that’s madness—with a long road trip in a Road Trek Class B motor home.

There is sanity with a Roadtrek. It’s the top selling Class B in North America for the past two decades, it handles easily in traffic, fits into car-sized parking spaces, and gets much better mileage than a full sized SUV. and that’s just the beginning.

The inside of Roadtrek may turn you into a fulltime traveler. Imagine your own bathroom, kitchen, bedroom and shower wherever you go—no more wasting time and money at expensive restaurants, no more packing things in and out of hotel rooms every night. A commercial once said that all hotel rooms look the same when you turn out the lights to sleep…and the same is true of as Roadtrek.

The other great feature of a Roadtrek is that it’s the perfect second vehicle. Whether it’s a trip to the grocery store, or your child’s ballet recital, the Roadtrek is perfect for hauling family and friends from one end of town to the other.

Who’s ready for the new era of, well…the ERA?Airstream-Interstate

That’s right folks, after being put on hold after the 2010 model year due to changes in the federal diesel emission standards, the Winnebago Era Class B Van is coming back with a bang.

The new 2012 model is going to come with some excellent new features, some of which include additional overhead storage above the cab, additional wardrobe storage, a larger patio awning, larger electric sofa bed and standard stainless steel wheel liners – just to name a few.

According to a press release sent out by Winnebago late last year, the company chose to evaluate how it could best enhance and improve the ERA before launching a new model year of product. With 2011 Mercedes Sprinter Van, the company was able to produce the Era with better user functionality and enhance features, and add more storage, capacity and value.

Before production was halted, the Era was quickly becoming a Class B favorite among customers.

Dave Arbogast Van Depot is looking forward to the return of the Era. Although we’ve not yet received a delivery date, we plan to post another blog as soon as we do.

Until then, here is a complete list of the Era’s new features:

* Mercedes Sprinter 3500 with Dual rear wheels
* Additional Overhead Storage – Above cab, behind driver’s seat, behind bath
* Additional wardrobe storage – Shirt closet behind bath, available removable wardrobe behind driver seat
* Standard stainless steel wheel liners
* Available stylized aluminum wheels
* Available exterior accessories package – Polished stainless steel grill bar cover, Polished stainless steel rocker trim
* Larger 13? patio awning
* Larger 70? electric sofa bed standard with 3 belted sofa positions and 2 child seat tethers
* Available GPS
* Available rear view monitor
* 110V/LP water heater standard vs. LP only water heater

It’s been a long day and you’re heading down a back country road when you see it – an old RV whose life has expired after years of use.

What was once an escape for the whole family, a traveling home-away-from-home has become an old, decrepit, pile of metal bones.

Anymore, it’s almost as if one can’t drive down an old back road and not see an RV off to the side of which the years have taken its toll on.

But for those looking to purchase an RV, or looking for ways to help make their current vehicle survive the test of Father Time better, there are a few easy tips you can follow.

Low Tires are a No-No:

Every vehicle’s tires are different. Before heading out on your journey, take a moment to make sure your tire inflation is up to par. This includes everything from checking the sidewalls of each tire to ensure their inflation isn’t exceeding the maximum inflation of the tire, checking for bulges while traveling and also even covering them up when not in use to help protect them from the elements. Also, rotating your RV’s tires a few times a year is also recommended.

Take a Break to Check Your Brakes.

Make sure your vehicle’s axles are in good shape. One of the easiest ways to do this is to pack your bearings and check them at least once a year.

A Dry RV is a Sad RV.

Don’t forget your RV gets thirsty too. Check it’s fluids regularly. It’s just plain common sense. To help keep your RV’s mechanical features running as efficiently as possible, check its oil, coolant, windshield fluid, etc. Also, it’s a good idea to run your vehicle’s generator and motor for at least an hour every month to help keep it running as efficiently as possible.

Tighten Those Lug Nuts!

It’s never a bad idea to torque your lug nuts before every journey to make sure your vehicle’s wheels and tires. This will also could help you from losing a wheel in the occurrence of a blow out.

The Battery: The Heart of It All.

Make sure your battery is charged. Don’t forget to top off its water at least once a month. When your RV is not in use, it’s also a good idea to disconnect its battery. If your vehicle has a battery disconnect, remember to turn the switch off. If it doesn’t, disconnect the positive and negatives wires from the terminals. Also, a good way to store your battery in the off-season is as simple as placing it on a sheet of cardboard in your garage.

Drain Your Tanks Regularly.

It’s a good idea to fully drain your hot water heater and fresh water tank periodically throughout the year as it helps to prevent water from becoming stagnant and a haven for bacteria.

Check Your RV’s Gadgets!

Taking a moment, even when not it’s not in use, to make sure all of your RV’s appliances are working before one of your road adventures is a quick and easy way to ensure your vehicle is in proper working order.

Inspection Time…

There are a variety of inspections you can do which will can ultimately help you save money in the long run.

Roof: Clean your vehicle’s roof off several times a year. This won’t just help keep the exterior looking new, but will also benefit your RV’s structural integrity. With it being the number one area for possible leaks, inspecting the roof and correcting any possible leaks is a must.

Awning: Everybody enjoys sitting underneath their RV’s awning and enjoying lunch with the family. With that said, your RV’s awning gets rained on, has the sun beat down on it, and more. Don’t forget to check it at least two times a year for possible rips or tears.

Keep Your Refrigerator Fresh.

Emptying out all of the contents in your RV’s refrigerator and freezer is a great idea when it’s not in use. Also, don’t forget to turn them off and prop open the doors. And hey, don’t be afraid to throw a box of baking soda inside it to help keep those unwanted odors out.

Keep it Clean!!!

Quite simply, keeping your RV clean will help protect your investment.

Nobody wants their RV to become one of those skeletons seen by the side of the road.

Keeping up on your RV’s maintenance is the most effective way to accomplish this. At Dave Arbogast RV and Boat Depot, we have any part you need and a team ready to help service your vehicle. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1-866-975-3287.
