We want to introduce you to a camping family that stayed
with us back in June of this summer.
They are Al & Janice Geniviva, and their daughter, Juliet!
They are from Gibsonia, PA and camped with us on their
“shake-down cruise”. A shake down cruise
is a camping trip taken by purchasers of a new RV to make sure they’ve “worked
all the bugs out” before a big trip!
Nothing ruins a vacation any faster than vehicle or RV trouble while
traveling. So most prudent new owners do
a trial run to help prevent such catastrophes!
You see they purchased their new 18’ Bambi Airstream Trailer
in Greensburg, PA from Airsteam of Western PA (pictured in photo)! Known for their quality and value, Airstream
trailers generally have few, if any bugs to work out. But it’s always better to be safe, than
sorry. After all, we all know that
“stuff happens”! And according to these
folks they believe in that old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.
They are planning a week-long vacation in late July to
Belfast Maine! They wanted to make sure
they were good to go before taking off on a long distance trip like that. We could tell from our brief conversation
that they were very much looking forward to this trip, and wanted everything to
go well.
When asked why they purchased an Airstream, they answered
that they tow it with a small truck, and wanted something that was light
weight, high quality, and would hold its value.
Airstream trailers certainly have a reputation for meeting their
criteria. But moreover, they just love
the Airstream and what it had to offer them.
New, first time campers or campers with new RVs aren’t anything
new to Meadville KOA. We escort every RV
camper to their campsite and help get them parked. It's part of our
customer service and hospitality services. It gives us a chance to help teach
people some basics about backing an RV up, or positioning their RV on a
campsite. Our staff often shows campers how to hook up utilities, level,
dump tanks, etc. Of course the best time
to do a shake down cruise or first time outing is in the spring or early summer
when campgrounds are less busy. But even
on busy weekends, our staff tries to take the time to answer questions, and help
new RVers learn the ropes. We’re honored
to have so many customers come camp with us to try out their new RV and ask
questions. It’s just another part of
paying it forward and helping our campers.
We hope that you’ll come see what’s behind the yellow sign
at Meadville KOA this summer, bring the family and spend your vacation enjoying
a campground where modern convenience meets nature!
Until we see you, we wish you safe and happy kamping, where
ever your travels take you!
