Third Annual Stuff the RV and Feed Someone’s Tummy!
Go RVing Canada is excited to host the third annual ‘Stuff the RV and Feed Someone’s Tummy’ holiday campaign. Every year, on a national level, Go RVing Canada hosts its annual campaign benefiting The Salvation Army in an effort to raise awareness on the need for food and monetary donations during the holiday season.
Go RVing Canada wants to extend the campaign to encourage the giving all year round and The PR team has engaged membership and is offering to assist them in hosting an event in their area through the fall and winter season. The Go RVing Canada PR team will assist in the preparation of the event by creating a media advisory and press release as well as create a local media list for the interested dealerships to encourage media coverage and consumer donations.
Dealerships are encouraged to hold food drives, charity fundraising events and more!

Cold Weather RVing Safety Tips
Posted by Bill Tuttle on Wed, Nov 14, 2012 @ 08:18 AM
RVing doesn’t have to stop just because the summer months are gone, but there are considerations you need to keep in mind when using your RVin cold weather.
Here are some helpful tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay in your RV during the winter:
Seal the cracks. Identify areas where cold air could seep into your RV. Seal them using adhesive foam insulation around the door andsilicone caulk around windows, plumbing, and electrical openings.Get a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector. Test it every time you use your RV and make sure you change the batteries everytime you change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time where applicable, or every six months. Don’t use the stove to heat your RV. Make sure to turn on the range fan when cooking in your RV and leave a window cracked toallow for fresh air. Choose portable heaters wisely. Electric heaters are safe and efficient, but think carefully about where you place them. Do not putthem near curtains or any flammable item, or in a traffic area. Direct generator exhaust away from your RV. Park your vehicle so that exhaust may easily dissipate away from the RV. Do not parknext to snow banks or other obstructions that might trap exhaust, and never sleep with the generator operating. Be sure to ventilate your RV. Leave a roof vent open any time you are running your generator. This will increase ventilation and helpto reduce the level of moisture in your RV. Protect water and sewer lines. Wrap outside lines with heat tape, then encase them in foam pipe insulation. On the inside, keep atleast one faucet open slightly, as moving water is less likely to freeze. Also, leave cabinet doors open to allow heat to reach the pipesin the walls. Finally, keep your water tank full.
It's also a good idea to make sure that your RV insurance is up to date. Contact Explorer RV Insurance for information on Specialty RVInsurance!

RV park to roll into StewiackeNovember 21, 2012 - 7:36pm BY BRUCE ERSKINE BUSINESS REPORTER

Pine Acres of N.B. to locate on old Farmer Clem’s site
The Farmer Clem’s location on Highway 102 in Stewiacke will soon be planted with rows of recreational vehicles.
“I think it’s a dynamite spot for any business that requires exposure,” Farmer Clem’s owner Vernon Blois said Wednesday.
He is in the process of closing the sale of a two-hectare piece of land on the former garden centre site at Exit 11 to Pine Acres RV Ltd. ofNew Brunswick for an undisclosed price.
He said Pine Acres, a family business that has two recreational vehicle outlets in New Brunswick and another on Prince Edward Island,plans to open its first Nova Scotia RV store in the spring of 2013.
“They’re anxious to start,” Blois said.
He intends to maintain the six other Farmer Clem’s locations in Nova Scotia, including the year-round Bedford Highway site.
A greenhouse at the Stewiacke location is being dismantled and will be moved to another Farmer Clem’s site, he said.
Blois, a Shubenacadie native, has been in the garden business his whole life.
He started selling garden seeds when he was 11 because he wanted to buy a bicycle, he recalled.
“It grew from there.”
Now approaching 63, he said he and his wife decided it was time to start scaling back and preparing for retirement, noting that real estateis a nest egg for many businesses.
“We felt it was time,” he said, adding that other members of his family weren’t interested in taking over the business.
The Stewiacke location took some time to sell, which Blois attributed to the global recession.
“We put it up for sale when everything went to pieces in the U.S.,” he said. “It was timing.”
Pine Acres officials declined comment pending completion of the property transaction.
