Lockable Water Supply RV Fillers Considered

If you own a Recreational Vehicle or motor home then often when dry camping you use your water tank water for showers, making ice cubes and drinking water. Your water supplies should be protected and therefore it makes sense to invest in a lockable water supply filler adapter. There are several types available and the ones with the little doors are the best. Plus if it is tampered with you will be able to tell that someone has messed with it.

Lockable water supply systems for Recreational Vehicles or motor homes also have another major plus in that they prevent spillage when going around a corner or when parked at an angle when they are full. It makes sense to protect your RV water supplies due to all the crazy people out there. Often even when parked in a very nice RV park it might be backed up to a not so nice area and you just never know. It is much better to be safe than sorry.

Some RVs come with lockable water supply systems, but not all do. This is because RV manufacturers work hard to put in the most inexpensive systems and often those are not lockable. How much to aftermarket RV lockable water systems cost? Well the add-on where the fill-up hose goes are about $29.95 retail and it only takes a few minutes to install. So consider all this in 2006.

Finding Parts for Old Motor Homes; RV Junkyards and Recycling

If you own an older motor home you may have problems finding parts because those models are no longer need built or the manufacturer has gone out of business. Even if you own a new recreational vehicle you may want to find stronger and sturdier parts that are no longer offered on the newer motor homes, but they used to be used on other older motor home series. This is when a good motor home junkyard comes in handy.

Believe it or not there are a lot of motor home junkyards in the United States and they make great places to get parts. Some recreational vehicle junkyards have motor homes that are over 30 years old and that means you can find nearly any part you need. The junkyards are well known to those RV repair shops, which will use them to get parts when they cannot find a part in the catalog they need to repair someone's motor home or recreational vehicle.

There are very large recreational vehicle and motor home junkyards in 13 states and many junkyards do have motor homes in them although they are not specializing in only recreational vehicles. If you need an obscure part for your motor home it makes sense to cruise the junkyards.

I have only been to two RV junkyards. But in each case I had found things that were very valuable and cost very little. Parts, which were stronger than anything you see in the market today. Things I could not get anywhere else and they were not listed in any catalog. Perhaps you might consider this in 2006 and help the world recycle all those old RVs.
