Issue 2 | March 2020
It's Our Indoor Sale and Seminar Season

Three Dates to pick from: March 8th, March 22nd, March 29th

One of the things that folks tell us that sets Can-Am RV Centre apart from other RV dealerships, is the care that is taken to educate our customers. We make sure they have a trailering combination that is perfect for them. Without a doubt this process starts with our seminar and test drive days. Since the dealership's inception 50 years ago, the Thomson family has made it a priority to have new RVer's understand the relationship between their trailer and their tow vehicle and to make them absolutely comfortable on the road. We have a fleet of tow vehicles that includes trucks, SUV's, cross-overs, sedans, mini-vans and recently even an electric car. We want you to be able to have an experience towing a variety of trailers and 5th Wheel RV's with a tow vehicle similar to what you will actually be driving. It's a process that has proven successful for decades and something other dealerships just don't make time to do.
The other part of the Can-Am RV customer satisfaction equation is the Beginners Guide To Towing Seminar. Andrew Thomson is without a doubt one of the top experts on the subject of towing on the continent. His expertise has been shared for decades in RV Life Magazine and as a guest speaker at RV Shows and Rallies across Canada and the USA. The informative and fun seminar that he provides on our test drive days is a must see. You may be a beginner or have extensive experience towing but guaranteed you will learn a lot in this seminar.
We will cover topics such as, types of RV's, insurance, financing, maintenance, hitches and tow vehicles, types of camping and rallies.
It's a great day, lots of fun, there are plenty of refreshments served and you have an opportunity to test drive several different trailer combinations as well as motorhomes. And you will be hanging out with all kinds of other folks passionate about the RV lifestyle. Sounds like a perfect day to me!

Tech Tip: Care For Your RV Roof

Rubber Roof Care:

Rubber-roof (EPDM) material needs special care to keep it clean and in good condition. A side benefit of a clean rubber roof is the prevention of unsightly streaks that can run down the RV's sidewalls.

One of the by-products of weathering is a white, powdery substance (chalking), which is oxidation from prolonged exposure to the sun and other destructive elements in the atmosphere. Chalking poses no threat to the integrity of the material but can cause unsightly streaking on the RV's sidewalls.

The roof should be checked regularly for chalking, deposits from trees or passing birds, and other debris. It should also be inspected for small holes or tears, especially around anything installed on the roof. This includes all air vents, antennas, air conditioners, refrigerator vent, solar panels, and any other extras you may have added.

To remove chalking, the rubber roof should be cleaned with Rubber Roof Treatment or Specialized Roof Cleaners and a medium bristle brush-and plenty of water. Continue cleaning until no more white residue is revealed.

CAUTION: Do not use any citric-based product of any product containing petroleum distillates. 

You may or may not have to treat the rubber roof with a protectant. If the chalking returns within a month or two, the cleaning process should be repeated and the surface treated with a good protectant like "Rubber Roof Treatment". If your rigs roof has a tendency to chalk, repeat the cleaning / protectant process at least once every six months. 

Although there is no rubber roof on an Airstream it is important to clean the roof, and inspect the caulking on a regular bases as well. Mild soap that you use on the balance of the trailer, is fine for the roof.

A quick reminder! Spring is around the corner, book your season opener soon!

Made in Canada EH!
Canada’s Safari Condo has a brand new compact, lightweight, and aerodynamic travel trailer. We have some official details about the new product and, before we share them with you, let’s make this clear – this could be the coolest camping trailer to come out this year.
The new Alto A2124, has 15 percent lower energy consumption compared to the Alto R1743. The new model is heavier, but the aerodynamically-optimized shape results in lower energy consumption for the towing vehicle.
Manufacturer Safari Condo’s main goal was to build a spacious small trailer to be towed by green vehicles, where energy consumption is important.
The company conducted 11 tests in a virtual wind tunnel with 11 different shapes before the team decided to go with the shape of the A2124. Additionally, road tests with a Tesla Model X towing vehicle were conducted.
“Faced with the steady increase in the price of gasoline and the social responsibility we all share to save non-renewable fossil energy, Safari Condo wanted to design ultra-light travel trailers with the lowest possible drag coefficient,” the firm explains on its official site.

 What about features, you ask? This bright and airy trailer comes nicely equipped with a small kitchenette, shower and toilet, dining area, fridge, and double bed. There is plenty of storage and maximum flexibility of space. Built from the same materials and using the same assembly technologies, it offers the durability admired in all Alto models. 

Call our Sales Department at 1-866-226-2678 today to find out more about this exciting new product.
