Handy Apps for RVers

 
At Pikes Peak Traveland, we are all avid RVers and try to keep up with the latest technology especially when it involves making traveling in our RVs easier.  Since most of us now have a smart phone, it is worth knowing a few time-saving, convenient apps that are available for Android or iPhone users. 

As most of us have been in the situation where all we need is an overnight spot to park our RV, this Walmart Overnight Parking Locator app can help to save you time by locating such a spot.  It gives you the location of a Walmart anywhere in the U.S. and tells you whether it allows overnight parking in their lot.  The app provides the address and phone number of the particular location you are interested in.  To get it, visit the Google Playstore or the iPhone app store to download the latest edition.       

Another useful tool is the website addresses for locating sanitary RV dumping locations in the U.S. or Canada.  If you just google RV dumping sites, you will bring up a couple of very good websites.  They not only allow you to search by state so you can find the closest one, but provide the dates they are open.  In addition they have information such as whether they are open to non-registered guests, and if there is a fee, and you will know in advance if they have potable and rinse water (non-potable) available.   

Another Android or iPhone app is a locator for truck stops throughout the country.  One of the Android apps lists both independent and chain stops.  It has information on the street address, plus Interstate exits, food service, number of parking places, and RV facilities (special island, dump, propane).  The app will mark your gps location on the map so that you can easily find locations nearby.

Whether you are in the market for a new or used RV, want to consign one, or need parts or service, we can help.  We only sell the top names in RVs and offer some of the best prices around.  Please come out and take a look at our extensive inventory of quality RVs for sale.

Buy Any Part You Need Online or in Our Store

As one of Pikes Peak Traveland’s many services, we have made it easy for RV owners to buy parts and accessories for their RVs.  Not only do we own and operate one of the most complete RV parts stores in Southern Colorado, we also run an extensive online retail shop.

Even if you are visiting or live in the Colorado Springs area and plan to shop at our brick and mortar store, you can get a head start by browsing our online store to get an idea of our huge inventory.  The online shop is set up to search by manufacturer, type of part or accessories, or to submit a question regarding your RV to our parts’ professionals.   The categories include: Hitch and Tow, Inside Your RV, Outside Your RV and RV Maintenance.  We even allow you to track your package once you have placed an order. 

In addition to being very convenient, we know that everyone is looking for a good deal so we are pleased to offer Pikes Peak Traveland’s price matching.  It is simple, if you find a part for less at another online site or store, please call us at 719-596-2716 and we will work to match the price.  We do require that price match purchases are done through our store, and we may not be able to extend this offer on certain parts and accessories.

You will find our parts department is staffed by a friendly group of knowledgeable and experienced people who understand RVs.  Furthermore since we specialize in hard to find parts at Pikes Peak, we have a saying that goes, “if we cannot find it, then most likely it is no longer available.”  We welcome you to come and browse through our shop whenever you are in the area and have a cup of coffee on us.
