Eco-Friendly Green RV: The New Travel Trend
As more and more Americans struggle to find affordable ways to travel, attention has turned to the niche market of recreational vehicles.
But is it possible for eco-minded travelers to reduce their carbon footprint""or tire tracks""when driving these behemoths?
Welcome to the world of green RVs.
The good news is that the RV industry is adjusting to the demands of a more environmentally conscious public. Vehicles are offering more efficient fuel usage and improved design, while providing spacious accommodations that can fit realistic budgets.
Modern motor homes use fuel-efficient diesel engines that get about 15 miles per gallon as opposed to the industry standard of 8-10 mpg.
Manufacturers are building RVs with lighter composites [similar to the material found in golf balls], experimenting with new design, combating wind resistance by making sleeker front ends that improve overall fuel efficiency, changing the look of trailers to a more European design, with an aerodynamic front that conserves energy.
Innovations hitting the RV world include units powered by solar and wind turbines, which generate electricity, power gourmet kitchens, full bathrooms, and home entertainment centers. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, a coalition of nearly 500 manufacturers, suppliers, and dealers of recreational vehicles, up to 20 percent of RVers use solar panels to power on-board systems.
Meanwhile, manufacturers like Winnebago and Fleetwood are introducing newer hybrid models that incorporating diesel engines and batteries. Like hybrid cars, these RVs rely on battery power for city and slower driving, and both the battery and diesel engine at higher speed [which charges the battery at the same time]. That means a hybrid vehicle can travel up to 700 miles without refueling, using approximately 12 miles per gallon.
Then there is the option to simply downsize. While most people still associate RVs with the lumbering giants of years past, smaller, lightweight vehicles are growing increasingly popular. Just look at the San Francisco-based Lost Campers USA [lostcampersusa], which has converted American minivans into camping vehicles that feature bed, storage, awning, and camping necessities. The small, sleek vehicle provides a creative, budget-friendly option""rates start from as little as $31 a day.
A recent independent study by the Department of the Environment in Britain showed that, on average, RVs released 4.58 pounds of CO2 per mile versus 1.39 pounds per mile for an average car. But an important factor to consider is how RVs reduce our carbon footprint through conservation and efficiency. Essentially a home on wheels, RVs are a one-stop shop that transport, feed, wash, and entertain traveling groups. There's no need to worry about the carbon output of flying, staying in a hotel and eating in restaurants.
In fact, according to PKF Consulting, a research firm specializing in travel and tourism, families of four taking RV vacations generate less carbon dioxide than families traveling on a plane, renting a car and staying in a hotel.
This study analyzed the CO2 emissions of vacations varying in length, and included car/folding camping trailer, SUV/travel trailer, Type C motorhome, and Type A motorhome [diesel]. Using the carbon calculator methodology developed by Conservation International, an organization promoting biodiversity conservation, PKF found that in each case, RV vacations had a softer environmental impact than the typical airline/rental car/hotel vacation.
In even better news, according to the Office of Transportation and Air Quality, a branch of the Environmental Protection Agency, modern RVs currently meet top emission standards across the board. The EPA has implemented a lengthy process of testing and enforcing standards, which means that all RVs in the United States face a rigorous process of certification by the National Vehicle Fuel Emissions Lab in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Bottom line? RVs are poised to make a positive impact on travel. It's time to get into gear and get moving.

Bus Diesel How many mpg dose a non-diesel shorty van school bus get.?
I have been thinking about buying a old one and turning it into a conversion van of some sort for long road trips. I would like to know if they make non diesel one's and how bad is the MPG.
These vehicles are based on a heavy duty truck chassis, either an F-350 Ford, or 3500 series GM. Depending on the year, they'll get 10-12 mpg.

Can a Church private school bus use red dyed diesel?
The church is a non profit organization, and local governmental schools can use this fuel, but does it apply to private schools?
Dyed diesel is for off road equipment only, no exceptions. Even if you are tax exempt. You must save all of your fuel receipts and get your money back at tax time. If you are caught using off highway fuel you will be fined.

I got a 1976 Dodge Pace Arrow with a 440ci that starts up great and the generator start up good too, the only damage to it is the water tank expanded and cracked because someone left water in it, it might need new tires, but i think that's about it. My mom is going to sell it to a friend so i wanted to know a good price to sell it at. What do you think?
i have saw many of those for sale from $600.00 to $1500.00 according to condition.

RV Generator Troubles?
When I start the Generator everything works fine in the RV for maybe 15minutes. Then everything goes out that runs on120. When I disconnect the cord that feeds the RV and plug it an outside outlet everything runs fine. Then with the Generator still running I check the box that the Generator feeds to. It shows the Generator isn't putting out and voltage. Any idea as to what could be wrong with the generator to put out voltage when it first starts then to stop putting out voltage in about 15 min?? If you have any idea is it a big job to fix the generator and would it be an expensive job?? Thanks
Helpful info would be year make and model.
Supposing it is a fairly new system that is computer controlled. The power interface at the distribution box would be my first suspect. When needed current levels are achieved the computer will ramp down the power output to prevent any overload situations (common in older gens) this on/of/ medium may be electronically sticking leaving you with no power output.
Rv Generator No How do you travel with pets, as in RV'ing in a conversion van?
Concerns are leaving pet in car. No generator for air conditioning or heater. I'm thinking more on what can I do with my pet if I am traveling and I would like to go to a tourist attraction ... like a museum or zoo or something for a few hours? Conversion vans aren't large enough for a generator like a massive RV is. I'd like to travel with my dog, but I'd like to see more than just the scenery. If it is too warm or too cold to leave the dog, I could keep the van running, but by doing that, I leave the chance of having it stolen.
No AC and No heat???? Don't! Flat out, just don't.

Beating Winter Temperatures In An Enclosed Rv Carport
The versatility and affordability of enclosed RV cover / carports has expanded their uses beyond just sheltering vehicles to functioning as home offices, work spaces, and/or play areas. As these uses become more integral in work and family life, having the area in which these activities take place get shut down due to cold temperatures becomes less and less of an option. As carport designs continue to evolve, making them more like room additions than bare bones shelters, a variety of heating options has also developed.
The two primary options for heating these living spaces are electrical or gas generated heat. Getting the right sized heating unit for the space being used is critical to make sure that enough heat gets generated without spending too much on a unit that is bigger than it needs to be. The following are approximations for the heater output required to warm the square footage of a living/working space:
After getting the right sized heating unit, the next decision will be how best to heat the designated area. Depending on whether heating must be spread throughout the area or targeted to a specific area will determine the proper type of heater. For heating wide areas, going with a convection heater is usually the best choice. An example where a convection style heater would be best is an area where people might be dispersed or moving around such as a play area or for a business with work areas which are spread out over the square footage of the structure. A less expensive option, such as a radiant or infra-red heater, would work if the area to be heated can be targeted to a specific area, such as a work desk. Money can also be saved by insulating the structure and adding weather stripping to doors and windows.
As more RV carports are being wired for electrical output, hooking up regulation heaters has become a common practice. For areas that don't experience freezing temperatures, space heaters can also provide enough heat from a 120 volt outlet but care must always be taken to keep the heaters upright and away from all kinds of flammable materials. A "tip-over" feature automatically turns the heater off or emits a beeping sound should the unit be upended.
Gas heaters can generate heat from both fixed and portable sources. Natural gas and liquid petroleum supply heaters from fixed piping systems while propane and kerosene are carried in storage tanks. With any gas based heating system it is extremely important to ventilate the heated area as well as placing carbon monoxide sensors around the interior of the structure to alert occupants of any kind of buildup of the noxious gas. Of the four gas sources, kerosene carries a consistently strong odor making it probably the least desirable source of heat, especially in an enclosed or poorly ventilated structure.
