Review: Superstition Village RV & Mobile Home Park, Apache Junction, Arizona

Apologies to Paulette Parrot, the park manager, for this late review, but, I DID warn her.

We often stay in the Mesa and Apache Junction area when visiting relatives in the area. However, we had only stayed at an RV park in the area once before. We had been quite satisfied with Shady Rest RV and Mobile Home Park on a previous visit, but, when we planned our trip for the first month of 2017, they were booked.

However, and luckily for us, the manager there referred us to Superstition Village Mobile Home and RV Park in Apache Junction.

We stayed there for the entire month of January, 2017, and, for us, it was perfect.

We were visiting relatives, so, we did not use their facilities, although I did swap a couple of books in their extensive library.

However, before I go into what they DO offer, let me say that, for an RV park, we could not beat the price. The charge for the month was $220 plus an electric deposit, most of which was refunded to me by check, which was waiting when we got back home at the end of February, after touring around California.

The park IS small, but, there is a great view of the Superstition Mountains, and, you are outside the hustle and bustle, while still close enough to major shopping. Takes less than five minutes by car to get to Fry's Grocery, and other retailers, and a major Walmart is about 10 minutes away.

While the park is a little old, it is clean and the water and electric (50 Amp for us) was perfectly fine. Our particular site needed an extra long run for the septic, and I did have to buy additional lengths of sewer hose.

The park has a heated outdoor pool, a laundry, and a clubhouse with various activities and a kitchen. I walked in on a morning yoga class, and, on Wednesday morning, the shuffleboard competition was in full swing. There were other activities scheduled, but, as I say, we were there to visit people, and my wife is disabled, so we didn't really take part.

The manager Paulette Parrott was very sweet, even coming over to check to see if we were okay when she didn't see us around the park much.

This is definitely a keeper for us. You can reserve online at the website: http://www.rv-arizona.com/superstition-village.php

5 Essential Travel Trailer Replacement Parts

By Emiley Malory

Owning a travel trailer offers people the chance to enjoy a few home comforts while traveling around. A travel trailer can save you a lot of money that would need to be spent on hotels, but you need to ensure that your trailer is well-maintained or it may cost you a lot of money in repairs in the long run. We take a look at the essential items that you need to keep a check on or that you may want to think about replacing.

1. Safety items

First and foremost, you need to ensure that your travel trailer is safe for use. Making sure that you own and maintain essential items such as fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors can save your life. Always ensure that batteries are in your safety devices and have a check on them before you leave. Living in such a confined space and cooking in small areas can mean that you are more prone to fires, so safety first at all times.

2. Light switches and light bulbs

If you are planning on hitting the road for a long period and you will not be near any electrical stores, you will need to check all of your electrics before you leave and ensure you take spare light bulbs that will last you throughout your journey. Many travel trailer parts are specially made and normal household fixtures and fittings may not work. Light bulbs are not very expensive so it's always good to have them in stock.

3. Auto Sewer Flush Valve

It is not the nicest thing to think about, but looking after your toilet and sewage system is essential. You will be using your toilet and wash facilities a lot while on the road and you do not want you whole living space smelling. You need to make sure your water tanks are kept clean and using an auto sewer flush valve is very advantageous.

4. Silicone Rescue Tape

No matter how much you look after your travel trailer, problems are bound to pop up now and again on your travels. Having a stash of silicone rescue tape will serve you in good stead as a temporary fix for electrical faults, fuel line problems or damaged hoses.

5. Travel Trailer Solar Charging System

Not having to rely on a hook-up for power can feel very liberating and it enhances the sense of freedom the travel trailer brings. The sun is packed full of energy that can be utilized instead of using a generator. Solar power is very cost-effective and is much better for the environment too. There are many systems for solar charging systems to suit all budgets and they are a very wise investment however much you spend.

Maintaining your travel trailer will ensure that you enjoy many years of happy traveling in your home away from home and you will not be tempted to book into a costly hotel simply because you have not looked after your home essentials.
