Understanding how your gas furnace works will help you diagnose problems. The blower motor turns on after receiving a message from the thermostat. The motor runs for 15 to 30 seconds, then the pilot light or direct spark system ignites the burner to heat the air. The blower propels this warm air into your RV. After reaching the set temperature, the furnace turns off in the opposite order. To troubleshoot a problem with your travel trailer gas furnace, first rule out simpler problems.
Open a Travel Trailer Awning
New RV owners or renters should remember that opening a travel trailer awning incorrectly can damage or ruin the awning. Rather than trying to open your awning as soon as you park the travel trailer, it's a good idea to review basic instructions beforehand. Learn the best way to set up your awning and you'll be sitting back in the shade in no time. Does this Spark an idea?
Dewinterize a Travel Trailer
The sun is higher in the sky, the temperatures are increasing and the snows are melting. It's time to dewinterize your travel trailer and get ready for outdoor adventures. If your camper trailer is winterized you need to flush out the systems, check the connections and replace the battery. Take the time and you will have a better chance to enjoy your travel-trailer experience.
Write a Travel Proposal
While travel can be a life-enriching experience, it can also be expensive. Luckily, if you are traveling for academic, creative or humanitarian reasons, it might be possible to receive assistance in the form of funding, equipment and in-kind donations. Your proposal for travel assistance will vary depending on if you're seeking money from an individual or private foundation, academic institution or government agency, but there are several key elements and best practices that can increase your chances of success.
Calculate Travel Time Based on Car Speed
Planning for a trip can be a hassle. But it's more of a hassle if travel time is not well thought-out. Comfortable driving legs and avoiding random hotels are two benefits. Once you know your route, you can estimate the distance you'll be traveling, predict your average speed and use a calculator to make a rough time estimate.
