 The summer camping season is in full swing. Inland folks are heading to the oceans, flatlanders are heading to the mountains.

While the Snowbirds headed north last April, many Florida RVers are now following to escape our hot, humid weather. Among them is our very own (semi-retired) Webmaster, Digest Editor and RV enthusiast, Lew (known in online circles as RVDigitalBoy).

In early June Lew and his wife loaded their RV and slowly made their way toward Long Island, NY to visit with children and grandchildren. They've made the trip a number of times. But this trip was different. Instead of racing to New York they took a full two weeks to get there. This time they explored a number of communities that surround the RV parks they usually just overnight in.

One place they visited while staying at the Statesville/I-77 KOA was the Memory Lane Museum - a privately owned auto collection - in Mooresville, NC. Click on Lew's photo below to view his photos from that museum.

Meanshile, we hope to see you down here at the store.

To use stabilizer jacks, proceed as follows: 

1. Obtain as level a postion as conditions at your campsite allow before unhitching. It may be necessary to use ramps or planking under the tires to achieve side-to-side balbane. 
2.  Always use wheel chocks when parking. 
3. Unhitch the trailer from your tow vehicle and level from front to rear with front jacks. 
4. Lower the stabilizer jack on the lowest side of the trailer first, checking for and "fine-tuning" level conditions with the jack. 
5. Once side-to-side balance is obtained, lower jack on opposite side to secure level position.

Note: If after leveling, the entrance door to the trailer "sticks", you have most likely lifted one side of the trailer excessively, causing a binding condtion on the frame. If this condition exists, lower the trailer and relevel to obtain proper balance.
