Hi, Folks!
This IS NOT a Protect All product ad.
We spoke to a gentleman on the phone this morning and my partner, Ken Neuman, gave me a great analogy that I wanted to pass along. I think it may put an exclamation point on the need for washing/maintaining your rig. (I just looked up the word analogy. I think it does fit the situation.<BG>)
Anyway, this gentleman emailed me with some questions. I passed him along to Ken--I thought Ken might be able to answer his questions more effectively. The man called. Ken explained the facts of life about an RV. Ken was able to pinpoint the age of the man's coach by the conditions he described. Ken went on to ask him how often he washed and how often he waxed. Well, he rinses it off occasionally and waxes it "probably" once a year. So, in reality, he rinses it off once-a-year, maybe washes it once-a-year and he waxes it every 18 months or so. For a 2003 model coach...it hasn't received much care.
But that's not the point of this story. When I pass someone along to Ken, I like to check with him later to see what wisdom he imparted, what tips I can pick up. This is how I got the info I passed along in the Brite-Tek vs. Fiberglass roof thread elsewhere. If my info is wrong, I can blame Ken.<G>
So, here's the analogy: Ken was telling me how he helped a different caller, not the one today, realize he needed to maintain his coach on a regular basis. He asked that caller how much his coach was worth. It was a $200,000 coach. Ok, how much is your car worth? It was a $20,000 car. How often do you wash your coach? Once-a-year or so. How often do you wash your car? "Oh, I take it to the car wash every week!"
So, you wash a $20k car once-a-week but you only wash your $200k coach once-a-year? Your coach is worth TEN TIMES what your car is worth. Don't you think it deserves equal, if not better, care?
So there's some food for thought. Whether you are using Protect All products or not, establish a regular schedule for washing/waxing/maintenance and stick to it.
