BRK First Alert Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Review

BRK First Alert Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Review

The BRK First Alert is a very dependable product that I would recommend to anyone in need of a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm for their RV.
Features include:

  • Battery operated (2 AA batteries included)
  • Electrochemical CO sensor
  • 85dB alarm
  • Two silence options
  • Optipath 360 Technology (360° smoke sensing chamber)

This alarm is great because it brings you the peace of mind you need in order to relax in your RV. Equipped with the most accurate sensor available, the BRK First Alert not only functions as a smoke detector but as a carbon monoxide alarm as well. You can easily determine which alarm is sounding by the horn tones emitted, which is a plus. It’s also a good choice for the hearing impaired because it has varying frequency and volume options. The silence features are also nice to have when you’re aware of the situation and need to stop the noise. You can either silence it for up to eight hours at a time or quiet a test alarm.

The First Alert is:

  • Easy to install
  • Easy to maintain
  • Easy to use

This product has been a lifesaver for my family and I in our RV. It’s a constant guard for smoke and carbon monoxide and with it, we never have to worry about those dangers. We can sleep soundly knowing that the First Alert alarm is going to take care of us and alert us if ever there were a situation. Best of all, it’s affordable — you can’t afford to not have this in your motor home. If your safety is a priority, I’d buy this alarm.

Portable RV Awnings and Screenrooms

When traveling, there’s no telling when you’re going to find your RV set in an environment when you’re sitting in direct sunlight. Or you’re looking forward to just enjoying a beer and fresh air when it starts raining. That’s why it’s practical and smart to invest in awnings and screen-rooms. Portable RV awnings and screen-rooms are exceptional weather control instruments.

The portable RV awning is an insulated roof that’s tough and promises years of great service, providing protection from sun and other unwanted weather contact like rain. When not in use, the awning can be folded and stored away. In other cases, they swing down and cover one side of the RV. Either way, they are ready for travel and use at your leisure.

Kool Seal White Elastomeric Roof Coating

Kool Seal White Elastomeric Roof Coating

Recreational vehicle enthusiasts everywhere are talking about a great product on the market. As RV owners, we lost our first RV to a leaky roof. This loss prompted our search for a durable and reliable seal coating product. Kool Seal White Elastomeric Roof Coating was a purchase we made to protect our investment.

Our first RV had a roof leak leaving a discoloration on our interior ceiling that continued to grow. Eventually the roof was weakened and began to bow inward from water damage. We found water collected on the roof rather than beading off. Unfortunately, we lost our RV due to too much water damage. We had to learn about roof maintenance the hard way, through trial and error. RV owners need to recognize the importance of roof maintenance.

Kool Seal White Elastomeric Roof Coating aids in protecting the life of your roof by its defining qualities.

Protecting the roof from mold and mildew
Mold and mildew grow on most RV roof tops, leaving an unsightly appearance and an environment fungi grow and multiply in.

Sealing and protecting from leaks
Leaks of any size have a negative impact on the structure of your roof. When water leaks into your RV it weakens the protective structure eventually weakening supporting beams.

Cleaning is made easy with soap and water
There is no need to spend extra money on roof cleaning products making this product economical. One gallon of Kool Seal Roof Coating covers 100 Sq.feet.

Warranty
Made in the USA, this product carries a 10 year warranty.

Conserves Energy
This product kept our RV cooler in direct sunlight, enabling us to use our AC less.

The greatest preventative action RV owners can take to protect against water damage is roof protection. This product offers high quality at an economical cost.

Sandstone Reil Rock Skirting Panel Review

Sandstone Reil Rock Skirting Panel

Sandstone Reil Rock Skirting Panel

The Sandstone Reil Rock Skirting Panel added the perfect finishing touch to our triple-wide mobile home. The pattern of the skirting fits in well with the natural element of our country setting. Before the skirting was installed, while still beautiful inside, our home had an unfinished look to the outside. We loved the product so much that we purchased additional panels to surround a mock well in our yard that we use as a planter.

We live in a cold climate in winter months, and the cold air would rush under the mobile home, causing the floors to be cold and hard to heat. After installation, it not only improved our heating efficiency, but the cost of electricity dropped significantly, along with improving the over-all look of our home, while keeping roaming animals from destroying the underside of the home.

The skirting is constructed of a single molding of ABS material that doesn’t scratch, dent, or rattle. The panels are 32-inches in height X 60-inches in length, and well within our limited budget. It is manufactured in the USA and comes with a 5 year manufacturer’s limited warranty. It doesn’t fade and washes off easily with a water hose. The skirting stands up well in harsh climates.

The Sandstone Reil Rock skirting access door and vent inserts were purchased along with the skirting. The vents provide adequate air circulation underneath the home while blocking out the wind. The access door provides easy access underneath the house for repairs. It also provides access to store bulky garden tools out of sight. We are well-pleased with the look, installation, and cost of this product.
