October 2007 | Welcome to the RVwest eNewsletter
Gazing outside at the red, orange and yellow blanket of fallen leaves, I think it's safe to say fall has arrived. In addition to digging out jackets, gloves and toques, now is the time to start getting your RV ready for winter. Included in this month's newsletter are some winterizing tips from RV technician Reg DeYoung. We also have the details about last month's RVwest rally and some great destinations for snowbirds.
