Safety Upgrades for Travel Trailers

 

If you own a travel trailer, there are some simple upgrades you can do to help ensure your valuables and trailer is protected from theft.   Thankfully it is not very common but trailers have been driven away by complete strangers as well as belongings stolen from storage compartments when a trailer is parked in a campground or even when stored for the winter. 

One of the things you may want to consider is a trailer hitch lock that is specifically designed to prevent theft.  The lock clamps into the coupler and prevents your hitch from going over any size ball.  If you buy one, make sure it completely covers the coupler so it cannot be lowered over a ball.  

If you don’t want to bother to get a trailer hitch lock, you should at least run a cable lock system through the wheels on one side in order to lock them together.  Once you have prevented the wheels from moving, no one is going to be able to move your trailer either.   

Another thing you may not be aware of is that the valuables in your storage container might not be as safe from theft as you think.  Many storage containers have a generic lock and key system that is used on up to 75% of the travel trailers on the road.  Add to that fact, master keys for the units are easy to obtain at dealerships.  To find out if you have one of these commonly keyed storage compartments, check to see if your locks and keys have CH751 printed on them.  If they do, think about replacing the locks. 

The good news is that several manufacturers have addressed the problem with a wide variety of high-quality locks.  The new locks are fairly easy to install or you could have it done by your dealer.  In addition you can find them at most RV dealerships’ parts and accessories store or online.

A Top Name in Travel Trailers

Even though we have sold the best names in new and used RVs to the Colorado Springs area since 1982, we are really excited about some of the new travel trailers we have recently added to our inventory.  Early last year we partnered with KZ Recreational Vehicles to become a dealer and continue to carry a good selection of their top-quality KZ travel trailers.

So what helps to set KZ travel trailers apart from some of the other names in travel trailers?  The KZ Company, which is located in Indiana, has every part of their RVs built by regional craftsmen or carefully selected from a reliable source.  The company’s philosophy is to build each RV as if it was being built for their own families. Benefits such as easy to buy replacement parts and good warranties have helped the company to acquire a group of loyal customers and repeat buyers.

Currently at Pikes Peak Traveland we carry the KZ Sportsmen Show Stopper, the Spree, the Spree Connect and the Spree Escape.  The Spree and the Spree Connect are both backed by KZ’s two-year warranty.  To give you an idea of the quality, the Spree Connect has amenities such as a comfortable queen-size bed, extra-large bunk beds, a great kitchen design with plenty of storage, and beautifully glazed hardwood cabinet doors.  The trailers range in sizes from 23’ 7” to 35’ 6”, and with 13 floor plans to choose from, you are sure to find one that works for your family.  Also the contrasting wood plank flooring makes this an extremely well-designed unit.

Another model we are pleased to carry is the KZ Sportsmen Show Stopper.  This trailer is a tremendous value in overall quality, price, and innovative features, and also offers the big bunks that sleep up to eight comfortably.  The living area in the trailer is enhanced by large slide-outs to create the perfect entertainment space for family and friends.

Buying Your First RV?

There are some important things to know and consider beforehand when buying your first RV.  After all it is a major investment and you want to make an educated, well-informed decision before you purchase one. 

Figuring out just what type of RV you need/want can be tricky as there are many options available.  You can do some initial research on the Internet and talk to family or friends for their recommendations and advice, but then you need to find a reputable RV dealer.  Top RV dealers generally employ a highly trained sales staff that can offer guidance to assist you with making a smart decision.  Also choose a dealership that operates a professional service department and one that has a large parts and accessory store as it makes it easier when you need something.  Also ask how long they have been in business and what brand of RVs they carry.   

Remember that communicating with your sales consulate is important.  One of the first things they will ask is what vehicle you plan to use if you are thinking of buying a RV that needs to be towed. Additionally let your rep know what you are looking for in a RV and how much you want to spend.  Give them an idea of the ways you plan to use it and the frequency of trips you will take each year. 

When choosing the right RV for your family, size is very important for not only towing purposes but for how well it serves your needs.  Many experts suggest for maximum comfort chose a RV that sleeps the amount of people you will travel with most of the time without having to utilize a dining area that converts into beds.  The hassle factor and inconvenience can quickly take some of the pleasure out of using the RV.  Also be sure to carefully consider floor plans and think about how well they will work for your family as well as serve your storage requirements.
