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.  

Pikes Peak Traveland has been one of the top Colorado Springs RV dealers since 1982 and a partner in the national Route 66 RV Network.

New Trends in Travel Trailers

 

 

For those that have never shopped for a travel trailer or if it has been some time ago, you will be glad to hear they just keep getting better.  Today’s travel trailers offer more amenities than ever and continue to make better use of the available space while adding many practical, money-saving features. 

One of the latest trends displayed at a recent RV trade show in Louisville, Kentucky was an outdoor kitchen designed primarily for travel trailers and fifth wheels.  The kitchens were fully equipped with a sink, small refrigerator and stove top or grill.  Believe it or not, a few models even came with a flat screen TV.

Another new trend found at the show was an add-on outdoor deck made from interlocking flooring of laminate or teak.  Similar models had a retractable mat that was used to make a patio floor.  Both options came with a convenient storage container.  In addition several companies featured porches that are attached to the side of a trailer and accessed through a door wall in the master bedroom. 

If you are in the market for a new travel trailer and think there is a good chance you will upgrade it in a few years, keep in mind that several features can add to the resale value down the road.  Slideouts are one example of this as they may bring a higher resale price than trailers without one, and even though they cost more initially, they generally are worth the investment. 

 

Also you will find that green technologies such as solar panels, RV wind turbine-powered electrical systems, and other energy-efficient components are increasing in their popularity.  There is even a travel trailer designed with a radiant heat system to name but a few of the latest, innovative trends in the RV industry.

Solar Power Your RV

Do you want to try and get off the grid or at the very least save some money?  Now that solar power is becoming mainstream there are more options than ever available for RVs.  An RV solar system can help to reduce the time that you live off of your generator and is a great solution for people that boondock or just want to go “green”. 

A big advantage to solar-power systems is that they have no moving parts and require very little maintenance.  They are safe and reliable and do not create the noise or smell of a generator.  Furthermore you decide how big of a system you want and how much you want to spend.  Solar can be used to power just a few devices or to completely power the RV. 

So what does a solar-powered system consist of?  RV systems will have one or more solar panels, a charge controller, batteries and the parts required for installation and hookup.  An article from Trailerlife.com explains that solar panels are rated by their watts of output and that the “wattage rating is determined by multiplying the panel’s peak power voltage by its peak power amperage.”

You may wonder how big of a system you need to power your RV.  To find out how much energy you use, one of the leading RV solar providers recommends that you boondock your RV and do not use the AC generator or shorepower.  Now under normal usage see how long it takes to run your batteries down.  The company takes that information and calculates approximately how many amp-hours you consumed on an average day and how many solar panels would be required to provide the same energy.  They estimate that the average RV consumes between 75 and 150 amp-hours of energy a day.

Can You Afford to Be a Fulltime RVer?

While it is certainly not for everyone, some people dream of the day they can take their RV on the open road and not look back.  Making the move to become a fulltime RVer can be an experience of a lifetime but is something that should be thought out carefully beforehand. 

One of the first things to consider is can you afford it.  Today many people work remotely and have the ability to still make an income while on the road.  If that is your situation, than affordability may not be an issue.  For others, if you are retired or do not plan to work, you need to take into account the money you have coming from pensions, other income, or social security.

Your living expenses should be less than what you paid to live in a traditional home as you will not have property taxes, HOA dues, and utility bills but you do need to figure how much it will cost.  If you still owe money on your RV or vehicle, you need to include that cost into your living expenses.  Also add in insurance, health care, membership fees, cell phones, and other monthly commitments. 

Look over past grocery bills to estimate how much you spend on food.  Include in your budget money for entertainment, clothes, laundry, mail forwarding and miscellaneous expenses.  You will also need to have money earmarked for maintenance on your RV and vehicle and annual registration fees. 

Now add in cost for gas, propane, and camping fees.  Both camping fees and fuel costs will fluctuate with where you stay and the miles you travel.  In addition cost will vary as to the type of lifestyle you live and many of these decisions will be based on your income.

It is helpful to research other people’s experience with RVing fulltime.  You can check out forums, blogs, and chatrooms on the Internet or get books.  One tip an RVer mentioned that may seem obvious but is sometimes forgotten is to remember to take your time.  There is no hurry and staying in a place for a while actually can save you money by reducing gas consumption and other travel expenses.

-Gary & Vicki Watts (Franklin, TN)

"I must give KUDOS to Bill at Pikes Peak Traveland. He has certainly gone the extra mile to do everything that he could to help us."

-Doug & Cheri Moloney (Colorado Springs, CO)-
"Thank you very, very much for helping us make our first trip of the season by repairing the broken "tee".
Our trip was a success due to your customer service dedication. We sincerely appreciate it."

---

-Noel & John Ekin (Hartsel, CO)-
"Recently, Dr. Farrell Coy, a friend of ours HIGHLY recommended Pikes Peak Traveland. We now know why!

Some time ago, we brought our travel trailer in to have some "water-leaks" repaired. Most everything worked well with one exception. We contacted John Cromwell who asked us to bring it in and he would have it repaired.

You should know that we live in the Hartsel area at 9200 feet and were not very knowledgeable with regard to "winterizing" the trailer. The bottom line is that John had our trailer "winterized" and when we picked it up today, he spent time with us showing and explaining just what we need to do to prevent costly "freeze-ups." (Our water heater still had water in it and we woke up one morning to a temp of ZERO degrees!) He prevented a costly repair item for us!

We greatly appreciate the service that John, Jim(?) and your technicians have given us! Thank you and John for your expert, professional and FRIENDLY service!"
