Sunshine1 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I new to full time RVing, new to Escapees and loving it! I signed up for Boot camp and will be at the Escapade. I'm finding that there are gadgets that make RVing easier and safer. I would love to buy a TireMinder, etc. Will there be any kind of vendors at the Escapade?? If yes are their prices less than on line? Thank you, any information would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobGuy Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hi Sunshine1 and we're glad you plan to attend Escapade. There will be several vendors in the Escapade Market Place that sell tire monitors. Not sure about their on site pricing as compared to their online pricing.

vt3fan Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Check out TechnoRV when you get there. I am sure they have what you want. And I would recommend them.

Kirk W Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 We need our A/C units serviced and Blue Ox hitch tuned up, anyone know if there will be vendors for service? While I can't say for sure who all will be on site, but last year in Tucson there were quite a number of companies that were doing installations of their products on site and several mobile RV repair services. I'd be pretty surprised if there are not some services available there, but will have to check on the complete answer for your question. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

skp51443 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 An RV air conditioner is pretty much a home style, window mount in a different box so you service it the same way. Replace broken bits, add freon or clean clogged fins for the most part. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

MrSeas Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I was under the impression a RV Roof mounted A/C unit was "sealed" meaning no way to service the freon. True or false? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 There may be no freon service ports on the unit like you would find in an automotive or fixed install home unit but it is easy enough to add the ports if you want to do so. It comes down to the cost and likely-hood that the repair of the leak worked. The usual reason given for lack of service ports is that it is cheaper to trash a defective unit than it is to fix it. If paying for the repair that is much more likely than when you are working on it yourself. First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

Kirk W Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Just so that folks know, the list of vendors is now complete and has been submitted to the IT department for posting on the Escapade page of the website. Keep looking as it should be there very shortly. Not all of the commercial members who attend the Escapade are listed as vendors since some who do RV repair work do not have any reason to have a booth but do have their vehicles marked. While we can't say exactly who will be there, it will be an unusual year if no member who does RV repairs happens to be available. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

nana25k Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 According to a post by Bob Pinner on 6/28 on the Escapade Facebook page there will be no mobile repair at Escapade. You may see actual vendors installiny their product Ron & LindaClass of 20072000 Monaco Diplomat 2005 Honda Element"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are" Theodore Roosevelt"We can't control the wind, but we can adjust our sail""When man gave up his freedom to roam the earth, he gave up his soul for a conditioned ego that is bound by time and the fear of losing its attachments."

StarDreamers.us Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 What a shame! But,, there maybe other options available in the future. Just a note we have been very happy with the factory service centers over the years. For example, you mentioned tow bars - the Blue Ox center is out of the way but great, with free parking. The Freightliner Center is EXCELLENT! Safe Travels!

jpatrickc Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I thought I saw something about the vendors being submitted to IT for posting about a week ago but I don't see it on the Escapade page. Am I missing it or has it not been posted yet?
