The RV Blue Book; The Smart Book

That old RV taking up space in your driveway? You remember why you bought it--you wanted to escape your daily life and take off down the road, headed to destinations uncertain. Of course, that was before you realized that you didn t have the time or the money to afford it. Now, you ve let it gather rust spots. Perhaps it s time for a change. Perhaps it s time to sell.
Of course, you could always put an ad in your local paper and hope that the prices offered are good enough, but why deal with all the guess work? Why not, instead, do the sensible thing and use a RV Blue Book? Not only will you know how much to sell your old RV for, but you ll also be able to find proper venues to sell it.
Don t be too hasty with which RV Blue Book you choose, however. There are many available and some of them are less than helpful. What you need is to decide what is best for you and your RV. Things a proper RV Blue Book will have you consider:
1. What was your RV worth when you first purchased it?
A RV Blue Book has a wide selection of RV s available and their original prices. Of course, you cannot expect to get the same amount of money, but this will help you know what you paid and try to work getting as much of that back as possible. It should be noted: if you bought your RV through an ad or from a friend, rather than a dealer, the cost will be different. Still, work from the book.
2. What is today s wholesale value?
RV Blue Book s will be able to compare your RV over the years and discover its trade-in value.
3. What is today s retail value?
Again, a RV Blue Book will show how much you will you could get at the highest selling price. This isn t usual for many cases, of course. Few people will want to pay the highest available price, but the numbers are still there to give you the proper idea.
4. What s the average price most users receive?
RV Blue Book s give out the handy knowledge of the median profits, letting you make easy decisions on your offers. If an offer is lower than the average, you ll know to skip it for something higher. This eliminates the doubt of selling.
5. How can the condition of your RV effect the price?
A major aspect of how much money you will receive is the condition of your product. RV Blue Book s make this very clear: if your RV is in bad shape (too many miles, parts that don t work, rust, etc), the value will go down. This is just common sense and the Blue Book will let you know. Of course, as a seller, you have to be honest about the condition of your RV.
The Blue Book only works for those who don t slant the descriptions. If there are problems, you have to tell about them--will the price go down, yes, but it will save you trouble later.
Whether you are a buyer or seller (possibly both, if your e looking to get rid of your old RV for a new one), you will need a reliable Blue Book. Could you work without one? Yes, but why would you want to? The numbers are all available for your use; this is to help you. Why pass on it?
As a seller, it allows you the knowledge to make informed decisions. You won t run the risk of overpricing or, worse, asking too little. As a buyer, you can see what the fair amount is for whatever type of vehicle you are looking into and make the right calls.
A RV Blue Book is worth the purchase and can help you with yours. Want an online resource? Check out nadaguides.

Rodedawg Hottest Amphibious 4x4 Competes as Leader of Off-Road

With fuel efficiency rated at 25 miles per gallon and a sticker price of just $49,000, the new 4x4 amphibious Rodedawg (www.rwgistgock.com) is positioned to jump over the competition to become leader of the off-road pack. As a recreational vehicle for boating, hunting, fishing, or simply exploring, the Rodedawg is unparalleled, said Pallais.
The Rodedawg, scheduled for U.S. approval for off-road use by year s end, is certain to attract enthusiasts who want to run with the big dawgs while spending only half the cost of a Hummer.
Currently available in Mexico and Nicaragua, the Rodedawg is the vision of Luis Pallais, Commercial Attach to the Nicaraguan Consul General s Office in San Francisco, and an automotive industry veteran. After catching a glimpse in a Beijing military warehouse of the amphibious off-road vehicle that would later become the Rodedawg, Pallais was smitten.
I never saw a vehicle that caught my eye as much as this one did, and frankly, I fell in love with it, he said. I immediately knew that its appeal and functionality was broad enough to engage both governments and consumers.
Rodedawg International Industries, Inc., which owns the trademark rights to the brand name Rodedawg in many countries around the globe, is currently in negotiations with the Dominican Republic National Police and Nicaragua s armed forces to purchase the amphibious vehicle. He foresees marketing the vehicle to U.S. federal and state agencies, as well as the military. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Rodedawg would have been a perfect fit for search and rescue operations, said Pallais. Pre-positioning Rodedawgs in the vicinity of potential disaster areas would save valuable time and translate into saving lives.
When the Rodedawg bursts onto the U.S. scene early next year, it will set tails wagging among the off-road crowd. With a four-cylinder, 2.77 liter Isuzu 4JB1 turbocharged diesel engine, the Rodedawg 4x4 will be offered in three models: a convertible, a truck, and an SUV. Each model can be custom fitted to the customer s specifications, although standard models come equipped with plush interiors and features designed for a comfortable ride in even the most rugged terrain at about half the cost of a Hummer.
For water travel, the Rodedawg is driven by a rear propeller attached to the PTO shaft. During amphibious operation, the vehicle can reach six to eight miles per hour and has a turning diameter of 66 feet. On land, the Rodedawg can handle a 44 percent incline with ease.

EXPOSED: Foreign Oil, Auto Industry, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Vehicles

We are skyrocketing gasoline prices and dependence on foreign oil prove to be a blessing in disguise?
it as though the most effective way through, we will reach consumers in the wallet. We are once more high fuel prices and indignation for something done by the automobile industry, this technology it.
the about fuel-efficient cars and build the technology in the past few decades most of the technology It is not developed cost effective mass market car. Why? Consumer demand for it is not. What is the automotive industry, consumer driven.
as be, as far as consumers are always, the industry is putting what to buy, they are what they are building to building maintenance . Granted, higher mileage standards for emissions control, and over the years we have less harmful emissions and mileage is better now than 20 years ago we. This has been a great start while it is unable to stop them point.
let & 39; seconds into reality today is to see where and how we, as consumers, to help guarantee It& 39;s more cost-efficient and healthier future for us, our children and generations to come. We are now better hybrids provide fuel efficiency and reduce pollutants as fuel cell vehicles that do not use gasoline and produce no harmful emissions.
both hybrid and fuel cell vehicles of mass transportation, Currently the system is being used in a number of selected cities in the United States, Canada and Germany also like to be included in City Transit buses, taxis, delivery vehicles and vehicles such as ups.
military -4 month, the U.S. forces surrender SHIBORESHIRUBARADO update is the ability to have a fuel cell power generation and 3 pounds 17 feet in a 88-kilowatt torque of the motor torque generated by GM& 39;s 5.3 liter, or roughly V-8 engine. Vehicle This is the first time that has been driving California. KYANPUPENDORUTON it will be delivered to the Marine Corps in California, and later this year evaluation.

california & 39; s first hydrogen fuel cell vehicles individual highway - the Family s pallino, living in the Los Angeles area, the first use of the individual To begin, California& 39;s first hydrogen refueling station highways, build a statewide infrastructure for hydrogen refueling station underway to provide access to individuals. ANORUDOSHUWARUTSENEGGA the state& 39;s governor announced a commitment to the hydrogen highway this year, 4 2010
in the project, Hyundai Kia Sportage " Tucson SUV and the car is powered by fuel cells manufactured by UTC Fuel cells are, in southern California, running chevrontexaco refuel hydrogen station. Especially important is that the field of hydrogen production from natural gas. Natural gas is an existing distribution infrastructure in the final is very important transition to a hydrogen economy. The station will also continue other renewable fuel sources, such as the ability to convert, ethanol, hydrogen fuel cell refueling station for refueling vehicles.
hydrogen - E PA commissioned a hydrogen fueling station in the nation in vehicle emissions and fuel lab in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Station to provide compressed hydrogen gas for hydrogen vehicles in the southeastern michigan.
the lab in Ann Arbor, Michigan to install a federal facility is the first such vehicle fuel depot. In this state, the role of art as a combination of the station for others is a real world example of the installation and operation of the safety of hydrogen fuel depot. In addition to support for the fuel cell vehicles pass the test program, the station is used to fuel hydrogen fuel vehicles deployed in the future michigan.
so probably look to a bright future with our foreign oil reduce dependence on air purifier to a good start and achieve a healthy environment for everyone. However, it is in our hands, and each of us is the consumer, and how we make choices that determine our future.
