  • Keep Rodents Out Of Your RV

    While your RV is in storage this winter, you will want to keep unwanted animals out of your camper. We have some helpful tips from Ehow.com about deterring rodents from your RV.

    Remember, if you have the unfortunate experience of opening your RV to find rodents have made their home in your RV for the last few months, eliminate the odor with our collection of Odor Eliminator Products.

    Mice and other rodents frequently enter campers and cause damage to the interior. Mice enter through small holes in the exterior of the camper; these holes are usually located on the underside of the structure. Pest control precautions are especially necessary before storing your camper for the season.

    What you’ll need to deter rodents from your RV – A can of expandable foam, glue traps and ultrasonic rodent deterrent.

    • First you will want to search the exterior of the camper for any holes.
    • If you find any, point the can of expandable foam at the holes. Depress the can’s nozzle, and fill the holes with expandable foam. Repeat this process around all unwanted openings.
    • Next you will want to place mousetraps around the outside of the camper. This will hinder the mice from entering your camper.
    • You might want to also install an ultrasonic rodent-control-device. These devices emit sounds that deter mice from entering the camper.
    • Lastly, spread mothballs around the inside of the camper. Please note, if you place mothballs inside the camper AND place your Odor Eliminator Bags in the camper, the bags will work to eliminate the moth ball odor, thus less efficiently removing any dead rodent odors. Our suggestion is to take the moth balls out of your RV should you already have odors from rodents, then place the Odor Eliminator Bags in the camper.

  • Tips for Storing Your Motorhome or RV

    Did you know Clear the Air Odor Eliminator Bags are the magic touch for removing foul odors from your RV?

    No matter what the odor may be, make sure to stock up on our Odor Eliminator Bags and place them in strategic areas of your RV such as the restroom, refrigerator and living room.

    Clear the Air would like to share some tips for storing your RV for the winter. Follow these steps to prepare for storage:

    • Wash and wax your vehicle to prevent dust or dirt buildup.
      • Disconnect the battery. If the RV is stored in a harsh climate take the battery out and store it in a more moderate, climate-controlled area.
      • Use pads to park your rig with the tires off the ground to prevent soft spots.
      • Turn off pilot lights and turn off the propane at the source.
      • Drain all water from your rig including hot and fresh water tanks, and all hot and cold lines.
      • Turn the refrigerator off, defrost and wipe it dry. Leave the door propped open a little bit so air can circulate. Place an Odor Eliminator Bag in the refrigerator.
      • Seal all outside openings to prevent critters from taking up residence inside.
      • Use a breathable cover to avoid condensation forming between the cover and RV, or park it inside a garage or facility. Consult an RV dealer on where to purchase a cover.

    A few hours of preparation can save you a huge amount of hassle in the long run – and get you back on the road when the season changes and pleasant weather returns.

    To maintain your RV or motorhome, follow these suggestions when the vehicle is being stored:

    • Drive the motorhome once every 30 days for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
    • Store the vehicle with full engine fluid levels.
    • Keep the fuel tank full to prevent condensation. In addition, adding fuel stabilizer will also aid in preventing condensation.
    • Keep the battery charge levels in top condition.
    • If your motorhome is equipped with a generator, make sure proper procedures are followed to either exercise or store the generator. Refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual for complete exercise and/or storage instructions.
    • Turn off the motorhome master battery switch.
    • Place two to three Clear the Air Odor Eliminator Bags in the RV to eliminate musty/mildew odors.

    Summer is the time for family vacations and what better way to spend time together than in your RV.

    Sometimes odors can get in the way of enjoying your home on wheels but Clear the Air can fix that for you right away.  Refrigerator go out?  Bathroom smells?  Dog was left in the RV too long and had an accident?  All these odors and more can be eliminated with Clear the Air.

    Check out our helpful RV check list and remember to use Clear the Air to eliminate all RV odors.

    Before Your Trip – Make sure your RV is well maintained and ready to go when you are. That’s the first step toward having a safe, trouble-free trip.

    • Install a deadbolt door lock on your RV
    • Inspect all belts and hoses for cracking, especially radiator hoses. Replace as needed.
    • Check headlights, tires (air and tread) and turn signals.
    • Check any hitch or towing equipment
    • Verify your insurance coverage
    • Check your fire extinguisher and smoke alarms
    • Clean your cooking vent hood to avoid grease fires
    • Leave your itinerary with relatives or friends in case of emergency

    On the Road – Be sure to observe the common (but too often overlooked) principles of safety. Obey the speed limit, know your rig height before you go, and buckle your seat belt

    Tools to Keep Handy –

    • Flashlight
    • Jumper Cables
    • Flat Repair Spray
    • Road Flares
    • Adjustable Wrench
    • Screwdrivers
    • Pliers
    • Duct Tape (for temporary repairs to ruptured radiator hoses)

    Severe Weather Tips – Park in a sheltered area. In stormy weather, avoid trees or power lines that could fall on your vehicle. The safest place during lightning is inside your RV. If you’re in the path of a tornado, you are safest in a tornado shelter. As an alternative, you can park under a bridge overpass or in a ditch. Avoid parking in low areas that are prone to flash flooding.

    Carry Your Insurance Information – Make sure to carry all insurance contact information with you, including a toll-free claim service number if available. If you are injured in an accident, seek medical assistance first and then contact your insurance company or have someone else make the call for you.

    Is your RV overloaded? – Did you know that driving or towing an overloaded rig is a leading cause of RV accidents? Even a slight overload or unequal weight distribution can seriously restrict braking and steering, dramatically increase fuel consumption, and cause sudden blowouts or breakdowns. An overweight RV also creates the danger of early failure in your rig’s tires, brakes, wheels, drive train and other components. Learn more about proper RV loading.

    RV generator safety precautions – Please read your generator Operator’s Manual carefully so you understand all the precautions for safe, efficient operation. Most accidents occur from failing to follow fundamental safety rules.

    A safe campground for everyone. – Camping is a fun time for the whole family. It is a time to leave all of your troubles behind and reconnect with family and friends. Campfires, roasting marshmallows and sing-a-longs are the memories you’ll cherish for the rest of your life. That’s why it is essential to make your campsite a safe place for everyone.

    RV propane safety – “Better safe than sorry.” There’s no better advice when it comes to propane safety. While the RV industry has done a lot to ensure high standards regarding propane safety, propane can cause disaster if mishandled or used improperly.

    Most importantly HAVE FUN!  Happy RV’ing from Clear the Air!
