greatly from one model to another, but their upkeep is fairly standardized. Here are a few useful tips. Leather is the most delicate surface inside a car. Two
crucial and inseparable steps are required to keep it well maintained and ensure its durability: cleaning and polishing. Cleaning leather requires using a special product specifically designed for the task. If the surfaces are very dirty you could always clean them first with mild soap and water. Incidentally, water does not damage car-quality leather. If the leather is light colored, clean it more frequently, perhaps every month or two, depending on how quickly it tends to get dirty.

Regular car maintenance is like money in your pocket Regular car maintenance done on a systematic basis will prolong the life of your car. It is a proven fact. Even better, it represents dollars when the time comes to
resell your vehicle. A wellmaintained vehicle is unquestionably more valuable, however if you don’t keep track of regular maintenance, you’ll find it difficult
to capitalize on your car’s good state of repair. That is why it is so important to record all the work carried out on your vehicle.
When purchasing a second hand car, people look for a reliable product that will last long enough for them to have a return on their investment. If you don’t have a maintenance notebook for the vehicle you wish to sell, you’ll find it difficult to ask for more than its market value. Conversely, with supporting evidence the buyer will be ready to spend a bit more, knowing that the vehicle has been properly cared for. A maintenance notebook will help you remember some elements that may otherwise slip your mind during routine maintenance checks. By meticulously filling in the notebook, you’ll be sure

Your notes should include the odometer reading at the time of each routine checkup or major repair job. Also, it would be to your advantage to include a short description of
the work done. This will facilitate finding and solving any future problems that may arise. For example, if the engine isn’t turning over properly and your notebook indicates that the spark plugs haven’t been changed yet, you or your mechanic will know where to look first for the cause.
Keeping a record of all repairs in a little notebook could be to your advantage when the time comes to negotiate a resale price.

that everything is done that needs to be done.
First of all, it’s a good idea to plan a fixed schedule and to list everything that needs to be checked on a monthly, three-monthly, or biannual basis. For example, it is advisable to carry out a monthly check of tire pressure, oil and liquid coolant levels, and belts and lines. The last two things should be checked
carefully to ensure that no cracks have appeared. Of course, if there are signs of wear, they must be replaced immediately. Experts recommend changing the engine oil and checking the battery connections for signs of corrosion every three months. You should also check the other liquid levels at this time (brakes, transmission, power steering, and windshield washer fluids). Once every six months you should change your windshield wiper blades, check the condition of your tires, and ensure that your spare tire is adequately

The success of any camping experience is the result of meticulous planning. But if it’s your first camping trip, how can you possibly know all the ins and outs of packing? For all you novice campers out there, here is a list of what you should pack in order to have an unforgettable—and positive—experience. For tenting: tent and fly,
groundsheet, sleeping bag, mattress and compressed air pump, flashlight and spare batteries, axe, newspaper and fire-starter cubes for campfires, clothesline, and first-aid kit. For cooking: plastic table cloth, water container, cooler, cooking pans, oven mitts, stove and fuel, dishes (preferably unbreakable), utensils (including cutting
knife, can opener, spatula, stirring spoon, bottle opener, can opener, corkscrew), cutlery, aluminum foil, garbage bags, wash basin, dish soap, dish scrubber and towels, and Swiss army knife. For having fun: map of the area, guidebooks, sunscreen, swimsuit, towel, rain gear, warm clothes, insect repellant, camera,
books, toys, sports equipment. For rainy days: garbage bags for storing clothing and sleeping bags before putting them in backpacks; Ziploc-type bags for protecting guide books, travel journals, cameras, and a tarpaulin to hang between trees as a roof over the picnic table.

Ƥ The purchase of an RV is a major investment that requires a lot of research. Here are a few questions that will help you to choose the perfect model for your needs: • How will we use the vehicle? • Are we always going to be alone or will we have visitors? • Which features and accessories do we want, and which do we really need? • Do we want a trailer, which requires a sufficient towing vehicle, or a self-contained RV? • Does our budget include the costs of financing, insurance, and gas? • Can we maintain and/or fix it up ourselves or will we have to rely on the dealer? When examining an RV for sale, consider these questions: • Is the roof designed to facilitate drainage? • Are there air bubbles under the roof’s membrane? • Are the cabinets and storage spaces well built? This is an indication of the vehicle’s overall quality. • Are the wiring and piping under the RV firmly attached? Finish off by asking vendors the following questions: • What is the payload capacity of the RV? • What is the insulation factor in the roof, walls, and floor? • What is the wheelbase/length ratio if it’s a travel trailer? • If I weigh more than 200 lbs, can I climb on the roof without damaging it? • What makes this RV a better buy than similar models?
Good luck shopping!

Spring Car & Rec Guide
Tire pressure should be checked once a month. It is also recommended that tire pressure be checked when tires are rotated or during oil changes or randomly, when you fill up at the gas station. It is also important to check the pressure in the spare tire. After all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it to be unusable just when you really need it.

Rising gas prices and the problem of traffic
congestion on streets and highways have made drivers of all ages look for alternatives to the omnipresent car. Scooters allow drivers to have fun at a lower cost, enjoy nice weather, admire the scenery, and be mobile and speedy even in inner-city neighborhoods. And how do they compare to public transportation? For one thing, scooters
offer you the freedom to plan your own schedule as well as all your comings and goings. Many people convert to scooters not only because they use so little gas but also because they make parking and weaving through traffic so easy. Scooters come in a variety of models and versions, ranging from vintage to ultra-sporty, not forgetting the many different color schemes and optional
accessories. The better known makes of scooters are Aprilia, Honda, Hyosung, Kymco, Piaggio, SYM, Vespa, and Yamaha. Other manufacturers include Benelli, Daelim, E-ton, Fox, Keeway, Linhai, Maverick, Nordik, PGO, Tank, TGB, and Tomos.
Spring Car & Rec Guide
Small scooters, producing 50 cc’s or less, have long been popular in heavily populated countries around the world. As manufacturers make significant improvements to them, they are beginning to catch on in the North American market. And they are not just catching on with young drivers!
