Check out these highlights of RV-related news, events and video from this past week.
1. RV Rentals Up As Saints Fans Eye Miami: New Orleans news station WDSU.com reports from Kenner, LA, that several RV rental companies have almost sold out all their units in preparation for Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday. However, RVs and tailgating are not allowed at Miami’s Sun Life Stadium, leading some people in Miami to offer parking spaces up for grabs on Craigslist….
2. Celebrate Century of RVing with the Good Sam Club: Sue Bray, executive director of the Good Sam Club, discusses the RV centennial, which will be celebrated this year. Motorized travel has changed dramatically since 1910, but the lure of the outdoors remains constant for RV enthusiasts. Centennial celebrations will be held at the RV/MH Hall of Fame Museum in Elkhard, Ind., RV shows around the country, and at the Louisville Rally this summer, which runs July 22 through 25.
3. Wi-Fi – A Better Antenna will Get You a Better Connection: If you’re using a Wi-Fi hotspot and it’s not working so great, get an external Wi-Fi adapter. Chris Guld of Geeks on Tour explains the how’s and why’s of boosting your computer’s Wi-Fi connection with an external adapter antenna.
4. Cost Effective Weekend RV Fun: Sometimes spending your weekend at home is just plain boring. There really isn’t much to do, but on the other hand you don’t have much of time before the weekend is over and it’s back to work again. How about a weekend RV getaway close to home? Mark Polk shares how a quick RV trip can not only help alleviate the boredom, but it is cost effective too. A 200 mile, or less, round trip from home won’t cost much in fuel, food or campground fees and it might be just what the doctor ordered for some well deserved relaxation and time to recharge.

Just went to the Madison Wi Rv show. A lot of dealers and a lot of nice campers of all kinds, but no vendors (generators, water filters, accessories. Funny, Camping World just opened nearby and they didn’t have a thing. I was disappointed at Alburqueqe Nm Ralley that the amount of vendors wern’t there. That’s were I saw the Fantisic Fan. That’s were I got intersted in the new Level Guages for water(all fresh black and gray. If they don’t show it you are not going to buy it. Simple as that

Gus,
I recommend you look through the RV Doctor columns here on the blog and if you don’t see anything helpful there, you can write to The RV Doctor, Gary Bunzer, to see what he recommends for refurbishing fiber glass and decals.
Best of luck!
