Let me tell you a little more about this little town we get to call home.  Stuart is a hidden gem in Florida and was named "Happiest Seaside Town in America" by Coastal Living 2016.  Downtown Stuart’s charm is filled with local restaurants, small locally owned shops all having a coastal feel.  There is a short riverwalk which is also known to the locals as Rock'n Riverwalk. that extends from all the shops on the riverside it is a must do. On Sundays, they have a green market and live music.  

Stuart is also known as the Sailfish Capital of the World.  The recreation world here is Stuart is vast.  Our residents and visitors love playing on the water, surfing, paddle-boarding, boating and of course the newest craze the Flite Board.  If you haven't seen this before it is very intriguing.

Knowledge is key in this industry as many others. When you are ready to head out onto the #openroad you might want to schedule a service check.  If your coach has sat idle for a couple months or even longer you will want to do a service check before heading out with someone in the industry.  I recently heard a story of something that happened when an acquaintance rented an RV.  They did not have a good experience.  Basically the RV wasn't useful for the trip. They ended up staying in a hotel for a night how crazy is that!  So I fiqured I should share what we recommend doing before taking a trip.  Servicing your RV for a trip should be done before you head out onto the #openroad. Bring it into us for a check up.  Our service crew is filled with experience.  A service check  may include a roof inspection, wheel bearing service, slide room maintenance, generator check, oil change, trailer brake inspection and adjustment, checking the air covers on the roof, and slide room toppers whatever you want us to look at we have a service technician to handle the issue.
