Liquid Petroleum (LP) gas systems are an integral part of nearly every RV on the road today. The water heater, cooktop, oven, furnace and refrigerator are powered by LP  gas. Forest River, one of the RV lines we carry states in their manuals . . .

"To insure proper operation, have the LP gas system checked frequently for leaks and road damage. The entire system including regulator pressure, should be checked annually or sooner, if you suspect a problem. Have the system checked by a qualified LP gas service technician using proper equipment."

"Line pressure for LP gas appliances should be checked at least every six months." We have all the proper LP testing (and repairing) equipment here in the shop. Before any new or pre-owned RV is delivered to a customer we have done a full check of the LP gas system and appliances.

Why not make a service appointment now and have your RV LP gas system thuroughly checked and tested.

I think I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I must admit that during this economic recession our sales of new and used RVs have not surpassed our prior year's sales. But, like the Little Train That Could, we've kept chugging along. While our website traffic has increased (www.sandersrvs.com) over last year, there were fewer visitors on the sales lot the last few months and financing has been difficult.

Now, in October, I can sense a change. For the past few weeks we've seen an increased interest in both our new and pre-owned RVs. More units are leaving the lot and we are taking in high quality trades.

So, maybe it's your turn to come out and choose a new  or pre-owned RV. We'll be here waitin' for yah.
