Coachmen Apex 259BHSS
An Apex Travel Trailer does not just start off as a frame, walls and roofs.

The Apex is not like other lightweight trailers.
It is much smarter because we set new, higher standards for this innovative, truly lightweight trailer.

7 good reasons to prep your RV with the right antifreeze
Ryan Main, general manager, Pik • A • Dilly
Why use RV antifreeze when prepping your unit for the winter? Because:
- RV Antifreeze is non toxic
- Contains no salt, so will not cause lines to rust/corrode
- Ready to use, no need to mix first
- Safe for the plastic water lines in your RV
- Good for up to -50C
- Less likely to leave water in any of the lines, compared to blowing out the lines
- Gives you piece of mind
5 things to consider when shopping for your first/next RV
Ryan Main, general manager, Pik•A•Dilly RV Centre
What type of unit are you looking for?
A travel trailer (or bumper hitch) tows longer behind the tow vehicle, but opens the box up for bikes, bbq’s, and extra storage.
Travel trailers are excellent for seasonal sites as they usually provide more floor space and no steps inside the unit.
A 5th wheel puts more weight on the back of the truck and eliminates the box for larger items to be stored in.
However, you’re ‘towing’ less trailer behind the vehicle, making your load shorter and easier to manoeuvre in tight spots.

How big are you looking for?
Are you looking for something smaller and lighter weight for towing longer distances every week?
Or, something that will be parked seasonally or only moved once or twice a year so the weight and size aren’t as big a factor?
Other things to think about when size is mentioned could be where it will be stored in the off-season.
Must-haves vs. Nice-to haves?
What are the features or options that you absolutely won’t compromise on?
What are your must-haves when purchasing this unit?
What are the features that you want in your RV, but wouldn’t be considered deal breakers?
Essentially, what are the options you could live without the easiest?
How many do you need to sleep on a regular basis?
Who will use the unit on a consistent basis?
Are there bunks needed for kids or extra storage area?
Will the kids be there most of the time or could you get away with a convertible sofa bed/dinette table?
New or ‘new to you’?
By law, an RV dealer must do a complete re-safety and re-conditioning of any used unit sold in Manitoba (your neighbour or the guy down the road does not).
This ensures that everything will be working in correct fashion, the way it was designed to be.
You have a dealer standing behind you should you have problems when you get the unit to the campground.
New units come complete with manufacturers warranties and dealer support as well.

AAA’s Main Man
Don Main
The Chairman of the American Automobile Association (AAA) board, and the first Canadian to hold this position, is one of our own.
Brandon’s Don Main was elected to the lead the 55 million member group in May 2015.
“Don Main has been an integral part in maintaining AAA’s position of leadership in the automotive industry over the past decade,” says Marshall Doney, AAA President. “As chairman, he will ensure we maintain that position.”
Don takes the helm at unique time in the AAA’s history.
“Automotive technology is changing faster than ever before,” Marshall says. He stresses the need for AAA to “educate motorists about the growing fleet of connected cars and the safe use of technology in the vehicle.”
“This is an exciting time for AAA,” Don says. “As we navigate through the challenges of connected car issues, we must not lose sight of our… commitment to be the motorist’s advocate.”
The owner of Brandon’s Pik-A-Dilly RV Centre, Don has worked for over thirty years to strengthen the RV industry.
The business began in 1962, when his father, Frank Main, introduced an emerging North American-wide RV trend to Brandon.
For the first time, manufacturers were turning out well designed, comfortable, camping trailers. And the public was eager to experience the outdoors in style.
Eight years later, aware that the fledgling RV industry needed structure, Frank worked to create an RV dealer’s association for Manitoba.
When Don became owner in 1978, he, too, worked with like-minded dealers to continuously improve customer service.
Don also became active in associations that promote and protect the interests of travellers.
That led to a range of executive roles including Chair of the board for the Manitoba and the National Canadian Automobile Association.
And now, the talented leader is continuing this role on an international stage.
