TRAVEL TRAILER MAINTENANCE
With camping season upon us, you’re probably ready to hit the road and start making new memories in your travel trailer. Whether you’re traveling alone or with family and friends, you’ll want to make sure that your rig is ready for the long haul, so putting in some extra time before you leave can give you the chance to make sure you won’t run into any maintenance problems when you’re in the middle of nowhere. Jubilee RV Centre has provided a list of basic tips to help keep your travel trailer healthy and fully functioning. If you find you run into a repair you don’t know how to fix or don’t have the tools to do so, then contact our maintenance department at our location in Kamloops, British Columbia. We proudly serve Vancouver and Prince George.
WASHING YOUR RV
After a long trip across the state or country, your RV is probably going to have a healthy layer of road dust on it. That, or it’s a healthy layer of regular dust after you’ve had it in storage for several months. Either way, you’ll want to keep your RV clean by regularly washing it. While it’s a relatively straightforward process, you may feel a little intimidated by the amount of work and making sure you cover all your bases. This can be especially true for some of the bigger rigs. That’s why Jubilee RV Centre has provided you with a guide to washing your RV. If you still need the RV to clean and travel around in, stop by our location in Kamloops, British Columbia, near Vancouver, Kelowna, and Prince George.
SAFETY TIPS FOR TRAILER TOWING
Now that the weather is starting to warm up, many people will start pulling their RVs out of storage so they can start camping again. Or, if you don’t have an RV, you may be looking around to get a trailer of your own. Trailers are a great way to experience new things and visit new places in a fun and unique way. However, getting there can be a little tricky, especially for first time owners. Towing a trailer may be difficult at first, but with the right mindset and a little practice, you’ll be a pro in no time.
Fifth Wheel Safety Equipment
Camping season is just around the corner. Are you ready? No, we don’t mean the activities and the food and the routes, although all those things are very important. We’re talking about some basic safety equipment. Whether your emergency is big or small, inconvenient or dangerous, having the right supplies to handle the situation is going to be the difference between a close call and a catastrophe.
Boondocking and Dry Camping
Boondocking (or dry camping) is a style of camping where you skip the campground altogether. Instead, you set up camp deep in nature far from any road noise or other campers. Many people find this to be a pure form of camping. There are no hookups or amenities of a campsite. Just your RV and nature. This unique style of camping is an incredible time, but it does take some preparation. We created a guide to help you get ready for your boondocking trip. If you need any parts or maintenance before you head out, visit Jubilee RV Centre in Kamloops, British Columbia.
The Basics of RV Propane Systems
The vast majority of modern RVs feature a propane system of some sort. RV manufacturers tend to prefer the fuel over other systems for its effectiveness and convenience. If you’re new to RVing though, you might not know how to use propane and you might have some questions about its safety.
How to Tackle RV Condensation
Dealing with moisture in your RV early is extremely important, so we created this guide to help our customers do just that. We’ll discuss how humidity and moisture affect your trailer, as well as how to deal with them (using both on-grid and off-grid techniques). If you have water damage in your RV, our team of technicians can get your travel trailer, fifth wheel, camper, or motorhome back into good shape.
Winterizing your RV: Using Antifreeze
We’ve reached the colder part of the year, and while that means the holidays are in full swing, most of us will be putting away our RVs for the winter. Without a doubt, there are those who will camp all winter long, but we here at Jubilee RV Centre wanted to provide some quick tips for our patrons who want to stay in during the cold months. Above all, don’t just put your RV in park and walk away for three or more months. There are particular steps you’ll need to take to make sure your RV is ready for storage during the cold months, including adding antifreeze to your water system to make sure excess water doesn’t freeze, expand, and then damage the internal workings of your RV.
RV Winterization
Here in beautiful British Columbia, we tend to make the transition from fall to winter in the blink of an eye. Although fall camping in BC is always a gorgeous experience, it is often followed by parking our RV's for the winter months. Let's go over everything you'll need to know about getting your RV prepared to brave the winter, and make things easier for when that camping season springs back into action.

How to Level Your Travel Trailer
When you roll into the campground for your RV vacation, it’s easy to want to pull up to your site, unhitch your trailer, and get to relaxing. But smart campers know that it’s important to take a few steps as soon as you get to the site. One is to take some time to fully organize your site so that it will be safer and more organized. Another is to hook up all the necessary utilities and make sure you’re in full compliance with any parking permits or other site fees required by the camp managers. But before you do any of that, you’ll want to make sure you correctly level your travel trailer.
