Reaching Pike Road from our Thorsby base

Pike Road is in east-central Montgomery County and is part of the Montgomery metropolitan area.  The area has been settled since around 1815, and by the mid-1800s a farming community had grown up near the crossroads of Pike and Meriwether roads, and residents voted to incorporate it as a town in 1997.  An article on the town describes it as a rural, agricultural community.[2,3,4,5]

Our only base is in Thorsby, about 63 road miles from Pike Road by car.  Montgomery is about 17 road miles from Pike Road, Wetumpka about 25 and Millbrook about 26.  We come to your driveway, campsite or storage lot, so an RV parked on a rural property does not have to be hauled to a shop first.[1]

Troy Highway carries U.S. 82 and U.S. 231 through town, and a magazine article on the town describes a Natural Trails System of multi-use trails across the countryside.  We did not find a campground inside the town, so if you plan to stay overnight somewhere, check with that campground about its own rules.[2,5]

Questions from RV owners around Pike Road

General information.  Every situation is different, so call us about yours.

Pollen coated everything in spring.  What should I look at on the air conditioner?

Many owners see a yellow film on the roof, the awning and the outside vents in spring, and fine pollen can also collect in air conditioner filters and return grilles.  If cooling feels weak or airflow drops, a clogged filter is a common place to start, and door and vent seals are worth a look too.  If the unit still struggles after a cleaning, we can look at it where the RV is parked.

RV air conditioning

My camper sits behind the barn most of the year.  What goes wrong while it is idle?

Idle campers tend to run into a few predictable problems.  Batteries can run down, mice and other rodents may find a way inside, tires can develop flat spots, and a closed refrigerator that was left off can turn musty.  Rodents can be more of a worry where a camper sits near fields, barns or outbuildings.  A check before the first trip of the season can catch much of it.[5]

Preventative maintenance

I bought a used camper and have never owned one.  Can someone go through it with me?

That is what an RV inspection and orientation visit is for.  We can go through the systems you will rely on, such as the water, electrical and LP systems, show you how they work and point out anything worth fixing before your first trip.  When you call, tell us the make, the age and where the camper is parked, and we will talk through what makes sense.
