The OPEC nations have just announced another cut back in production by 2.2 million barrels for a total of 4.2 million barrels since summer. This is putting gas prices down to around $1.69 per gallon here in Vermont at the pump. This is compared to over $4.39 a gallon last summer. This will be a big savings to all of us.

This past year a lot of my friends and acquaintances took their RVs to a piece of land or a campground and parked it for the summer. Others I know moved around on weekends or for a week here or there, but just didn’t go as far. I, for one, will take advantage of the lower fuel prices this camping season by trying to put on as many miles on I can.

With high fuel prices still fresh in my memory, I will try to be as economical as possible. I intend to make sure my coach is tuned up at its best performance. Make sure my tire pressure is right. I will not over load my coach and anything else I can think of. I believe it is important to do what we can to keep OPEC from raising production again, giving them the chance to make our price at the pump rise again. If we can conserve and still enjoy our coaches this will keep OPEC from doing it to us again.

I think we cannot afford to let OPEC continue to do this to us anymore by reducing production, our prices go down at the pump, and then when we start using more, they raise production and price. We need other sources of fuel and we need it now.

Let’s hear from you on this subject. How will your RVing differ from this summer compared to last because of the fuel price reduction?

We have added a page with all 2009 Keystone Cougar floorplans to the Cougar Microsite. We hope this will make it easier to compare, and pick the right model for exactly what your needs are.

• Keystone Cougar Microsite
• All Cougars now in stock

We have added resampled introductory videos for the two popular Keystone brands - Springdale, and Sprinter. You should be able to view them comfortably even without super high speed Internet connection, which is not always the case with online videos.

The mini-movies do a very good job in introducing the brands both to RV newbies and to seasoned RVers. Take a look:

Let us know how you like them, if you had any problems watching, and of course, if you have any questions at all, call us 1-888-PETES-RV or shoot us a quick email.

With addition of all remaining 2009 Keystone Cougar models we have completed the Cougar Microsite at Pete’s RV Center web site. Our hope was to present Cougar’s entire line-up in a clear and concise format without any unnecessary clutter.
