Two months after acquiring it, our Schererville, IN dealership is looking and feeling more like an extension of our South Burlington, VT location.

RV Service Tips: Erroneous Readings on Monitor Panel
The monitor panel displays readings from sensors attached to the tanks. These sensors can send false readings when:
1. Water with low mineral content. Minerals in water help conduct the electrical signal to the monitor display.
2. Contamination-Residue remaining on the inside of the tanks after dumping (caused by normal use or putting grease, oils, etc. in the tanks). Refer to Tank Flushing.
3. Low Battery
4. Loose wiring connections (bad ground)
For further reference, read Chapter 9 of the Keystone RV Owner’s Manual. It does a nice job explaining RV Plumbing Systems. A PDF version of the Keystone RV Owner’s Manual is available on the Pete’s RV website.
RV Q and A: Water Pump Location
Question: Where is my water pump located?
Answer: The tried and true way to find the water pump is to turn it on from the camper’s control panel and listen (note: dry running a water pump for a few minutes will not hurt it). If there is water in the holding tank, you may need to open a faucet for the water pump to come on. They do hide them pretty well, but in most cases water pumps are accessible. Once located, you will likely need to remove a few screws from an access panel to get to the water pump.
Customer Feedback
“I was excited to find exactly what we were looking for at PetesRV.com. Within hours of e-mailing my inquiry, we were contacted by our sales consultant, Randal. He was excellent to deal with. Prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and informative. We are located in Eastern Ontario, Canada and had many questions/concerns about this type of purchase across the border. Randal happily assisted us. Initially our interest in dealing with Pete’s RV was solely based on great pricing. Now our decision to deal with Randal and Pete’s RV is based on the whole experience: Price, inventory, knowledge, customer service, and polite and courteous staff!”–Brad and Stacy M. from North Augusta, ON

Camping Recipe: Dough Boys
“Very simple, but a classic I remember making around the camp fire. Make a stiff dough with Bisquick. You can also use a can of ready made buttermilk biscuits. Find a green stick around the diameter of your index finger. Proceed to wrap the dough around the stick. Seal off the top of the stick with dough too. Rotate over a camp fire until cooked through and golden brown (high enough over the campfire to brown, not burn!). When ready, carefully slide dough from the stick and fill with raspberry or strawberry jam. Yum-o!”
Recipe compliments of Facebook Friend Kim O. from Burlington, VT. Her winning submission gets her a $50 Gift Card to the Pete’s RV Parts and Accessories Store. Thanks Kim!
