Since 1990 we have all become more familiar with results of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): the little blue logo for
close-in parking spaces, the accessible toilet stalls, the
sloping curbs. As campers, we have seen certain campsites
dedicated to the disabled and some sightseeing trails marked as
accessible. But in my experience, until we ourselves experience
some disabling circumstance, or we meet and take the time to talk
with someone who is physically challenged, we don't begin to
appreciate the challenges and strengths of the lifestyle,
particularly when traveling.....

Fayetteville, NC --RV Education 101, celebrating five years in business, produces professional Recreation Vehicle (RV) training videos and DVD's on how to use and maintain the systems of an RV. The owner's Mark and Dawn Polk stated there is not enough emphasis placed on properly educating the consumer on the complexities of operating an RV. Mark Polk said, "RV's are a 12 billion dollar industry and with the baby boomers and post 9/11 travel concerns it continues to grow in popularity. If you want to retain people in the RV lifestyle, education is a must. There are currently seven titles in the video library encompassing pop-ups, travel trailers, Class A motor homes, Class C motor homes, Winterizing and Storing an RV, Trailer Towing and more.”.....

If you own an RV you can appreciate the value of any space saving product, technique, or idea available to RVers. We are constantly searching for new ways to save space, and to make the best use of the limited space we have in our house on wheels. The last thing any RVer wants to deal with is the bulky, heavy items that you want to take along, but don’t have room for. If only you could eliminate these bulky items; or better yet magically replace them with a compact space-saver version that occupies about the same amount of space as a coffee maker. I don’t have the solution for the lawn chairs or the kid’s toys, but if you like soda you’re in luck.

Mark Polk was doing his best to make his little corner of the world a summertime place.

He stood smiling in short sleeves while a chilling north wind did its best to force a shiver.

But for a couple of minutes Polk held fast, creating an illusion of warmth as the wind whistled through the branches of a nearby pecan tree and around the legs of a camera.

And months, even years from now, when people see Polk talking about the joys of RV ownership, they won't know just how chilly he was.

But they will appreciate how smart he is.

Polk and his wife, Dawn, run RV Education 101, a video company that makes instructional videos that cater to the growing need for "how-to" information among RV travelers.

During their travels, they met up with Rob Engman, a Canadian television producer.

The result - a series of TV spots and a lot of attention for the Cedar Creek couple.......

RV Education 101 continues to join forces with the new television program RVTV, by providing the RV Savvy segments and helping RVers stay Savvy with their rigs.
