Behind the scenes: one reason why RV use is on the rise!
A major news network recently reported a story on the changing face of RV enthusiasts. Once upon a time most full-time RV communities were retirees and people looking for adventure. As a luxury market, it was expected to see a decline as the economy started to tank. But even as the unemployment rate hovers nationally around 10%, RV use is surging. What is different now is that it´s families with young children calling the road home.
These are families with a breadwinner who lost their job. The expense load was too great to continue carrying so they sold everything and bought an RV. Traveling state to state, this is their new way of life out of necessity. The kids "road school": a mobile form of homeschooling. Employment is sought online. Habits change and the lifestyle becomes more compact.
Families on the road: a new way of living.
Learning to live full time in an RV or camper comes with understanding the unique circumstances mobile living holds. One quickly finds that everything must be maximized. Power use is of a premium, as is water. There are times when you can hook up to a power and water source and times when you´re dependent upon your own tanks and stores. When it´s gone, it´s gone.
Protect your valuables in the RV and in storage from damaging moisture!
One frequent problem in campers and RV´s is dealing with a musty odor. Depending on the environment and ventilation, campers can contain smells that are very hard to remove. Air quality can be a serious concern if any family members have allergies and the best solution is rarely to try and cover odors with more scents. The real culprit is moisture and dealing with it is the best way to eliminate bad smells.
Most campgrounds are located by bodies of water that are naturally humid. The mountains are also very moist places. If one is camping or living in an RV, they are likely going to have equipment and belongings that require protection from a moist environment. Compactly stored clothing, camera equipment and computers, pantry items, hunting rifles, and emergency items like matches and flares all require dry storage.
Because of the power restrictions that come from portable living, it´s not always practical to run a whole-system AC unit or standing dehumidifier. Safety and toxicity are also serious concerns because anything used is likely to come into close proximity with children or pets. Systems that can spill or corrode are not good options.
Eva-Dry Dehumidifiers are:
• Safe, contained, non-corrosive, and spill resistant
• Renewable. You don´t throw them away each month, adding to garbage and expense
• Can be used anywhere, not dependent on gravity or cords
Eva-dry uses silica, a safe absorbent substance you´re probably familiar with in the form of small packets that come in your shoe boxes. Silica gel is actually sand-like and won´t re-release the moisture until heated. The Eva-dry system looks like a small smoke detector that you place into the space and leave until the indicator shows it´s full (between 30-60 days). You then take the unit and plug it in an area that is well ventilated, such as a garage or porch. The electricity warms the silica and releases the moisture, renewing the product for reuse up to 10 years.
Health and wellness tests have proven that Eva-Dry reduces moisture and improves the overall air quality in a space. That´s very important when dwelling in a confined space like an RV. Eva-Dry is also a "green" product that also won´t negatively contribute to the environment via waste or additional energy use. Obtaining one or many for your home on the road is affordable and easy. Eva-dry is available on Amazon, at your local Ace Hardware, at www.eva-dry.com or by calling 877-382-3790.
