A fellow member of the Circle of Trust RV Family, Sisken sales is a family-owned RV company.
Sisken Sales started out over six years ago with a few EBay auctions but quickly began to expand to what you see today, and we still continues to grow at a steady pace! We are a husband and wife family based business who are also devoted RV'ers so we recognizes the need for quality RV accessories at discount prices. Our philosophy is simple, to bring quality merchandise at the lowest possible price to the RV consumer. We won't sell anything that we wouldn't use ourselves which is why we only carry SnowBird RV mat's & Sunscreen's as we feel they are far superior to the competition!
The Springfield Massachusetts Camping & RV Show
Were avid campers just like you! By keeping our overhead to a bear minimum including our website, which is is completely designed and maintained by ourselves. While it may lack some of the frills, functionality and our customers security is our highest priority!

- Free Overnight Parking
WHY STAY AT WAL-MART? When traveling between destinations an overnight stop in a campground can be quite expensive, when all you need is a place to park while you have dinner and sleep. You don't use their water, dump station, or other amenities. You may not even use their electricity, but you do pay for it.
Wal-Mart corporate policy is to allow RVs to park overnight in their parking lots. This works well for the RVers and Wal-Mart. The RVers get a monitored (cameras or security guard watching the parking lot) place to park, and Wal-Mart gets the RVers business. Remember, the Wal-Mart corporate policy is to allow RVs to park overnight in their parking lots, but the final decision is with the individual Wal-Mart or Sam's Club store manager so it's important to ask before you bed down for the night. Also some municipalities have made overnight parking illegal. Generally the stores in these areas have signs posted in the parking lot stating this.

- RetirementLifeToday.com Launches Website
Although numbering in excess of 60 million, retirees and baby boomers had few lifestyle places to call their own on the Internet. Many retirees are considering the RV and camping lifestyle, and a new RV site on the web is focused on serving the needs of retired campers.
>
In response, RetirementLifeToday.com was created. RetirementLifeToday.com now ranks as the third most popular retiree/baby boomer website, according to websites tracking market statistics.

- Happy Camper RV Club Doubles Membership, Surprises Customers with Freebies, C...
Like no other RV club, Happy Camper Club offers discount camping across the nation at a whole new level. Going the extra mile is key to the club's growth, giving more than what is promised, helping RVers learn more with free ebooks, and making it possible for the club members and site visitors to create their own RV trips online.
>
Monroe, LA (PRWEB) May 5, 2006 -- Happy Camper RV Club is well-known throughout the camping industry as a half-price discount rv club. With over 1,000 campground and RV park locations in the US and Canada, the club has doubled membership in the last two years by giving "more than what is promised" to its members, and creating a web site that gives RVers a fun environment online for trip planning and learning. Club president, Anne Pierson, describes the secret to the club's success by stating, "We always give more than we promise, and our members love the extra bonuses we create to serve them - above and beyond our promise of saving 50% on camping. Members never know when they will get an email from us with a fun "freebie" they can request by mail, or an interesting addition to our web site. "Our goal is to surprise and delight our visitors and members with added value wherever we find it. As an example, our friends at RV Education 101 gave us a generous gift to share. They provided a free RV Checklists Ebook to us for new members, and the feedback on the ebook has been pure excitement. New members can't believe it when they get a welcome letter from us with this bonus, because we don't even advertise it." Mark Polk of RV Education explains, "If we don't write down what we need to remember, inevitably we forget something. This can be especially true with RVs because there are just too many things to remember. You will want to protect your investment in a routine and safe manner." In this 80 page e-book, there are over 35 checklists applicable for pop-ups, travel trailers, fifth wheels and motorhomes, to use from the time you purchase your RV until you store it for winter and everything in between. It includes checklists for Pre-delivery Inspections, Basic Inventory, Tools & Supplies, Getting There Safely, Campground Set-up, Pre-Trip, Home Security, Dinghy Towing, Essential Items, Nice to Have Items, Traveling with Pets, Awning Operation, Winterizing & De-winterizing your RV, Storing your RV, Battery Testing Chart, Spring Prep, and much more. "We were so excited," says Karen Oschler, a new Happy Camper member. "We joined Happy Camper because they were so highly recommended by our friends who are members. As soon as we joined, they sent us RV Ed's Checklists e-book, which I wasn't even expecting. As a "newbie," I have so much to learn about camping in a recreational vehicle... that ebook was on my list of things to buy - and I got it as a gift!" In addition to periodic bonus features, the club's fundamental services focus on providing a detailed camping guide, listing each participating rv park and its amenities, pricing and details. The club membership card gives RVers half off the regular rates at quality nationwide campground locations, and the web site provides a chat forum for sharing information, a free trip planner for RV trip routing, tips and advice, RV news articles, a Camp Store, and personal features for those who register as users at the site (membership not required). "Over 2,000 visitors a day access our web site," states Pierson. "It's full of so much information for RVers; our members return again and again, and non-members are able to learn, become familiar with our services, and join in the discussions. We give non-members full access, because the RV community is about sharing information. Non-members who use our site are able to hear about our 50% discount benefits first-hand from other members, and they're the best salespeople we have." Happy Camper projects that it will double membership again in 2006, and invites potential members to visit the web site to learn more. A free "Camping Tips" ebook, and other hidden "freebies" are available at the web site for all RV travelers. http://www.camphalfprice.com866-677-6453318-343-8608campers @ camphalfprice.com

What Makes Happy Camper the BEST Club for RVers?
Half Price Camping is such a good idea, there are copy-cat clubs coming into the market all the time. It's important for RVers to know how to spot a quality club, and we want to share with you some of the things that make Happy Camper Club special.
We take our reputation seriously. With a long history of serving RVers, Happy Camper Club is a family-owned company, created by the owners of Shiloh RV Resorts in Monroe, LA. We've been serving members and park owners with equal passion for nearly a decade.
Anyone can start a club - but should they? Benefits to members must be REAL. There must be parks everywhere an RVer goes on trips in order for members to realize true savings; and the offers in the camping guide must be real, too. Why join a club that offers only a few parks, the parks restrict the discount in most cases to one night, eliminate weekends, or make it generally difficult for an RVer to get a realistic discount?
Slick packaging won't hide the facts for long... a quality program is built with quality offers for RVers. We know this because we ARE RVers. We actually USE the discount program in our travels, and we HOST club members at our two RV parks. We can't be distracted from the truth in the quality of a program - can you?
And we also know that RVers usually carry more than one discount card in their wallets - that keeps us on our toes - because when there is no competition, consumers lose! It's important for us to recognize that there are other clubs, and to be aware of what makes RVers loyal to each one. Most of our members belong to several clubs, and that's great - the more you save, the better for everyone. We try to add the touches that make half price camping a TRUE value, and we ask only that you compare what we offer with everyone else, and make good decisions when you refer your friends.
So... we thought we'd toot our own horn this month, letting you know about some special additions we've made to Happy Camper that will save you more REAL dollars on the road:
1. We've added over 100 MONTHLY DISCOUNTS at RV parks to our membership. This is in response to the growing number of our members who travel for longer periods of time, and many full-timers coming to us through our partnership with Escapees.
2. We've enhanced our online capabilities to serve our growing market of internet-savvy customers. You can now visit with each other in our online RV community forum, join the club and get INSTANT access to your membership card, browse the camping guide in full online, plan your trip with our exclusive FREE online trip planner, and use a personal calendar at the web site - PLUS, get RV news updated every day at the bottom of our home page. Who else does all that? NO OTHER CLUB serves RVers online with these features.
3. Our 2006 Camping Guide is now full of bonus features. We've added recipes, camping tips, technical articles by the experts at RV Education 101, and classic RV essays by Chuck Woodbury - now it's not just a directory, it's a fun-filled resource you can use all year.
4. Our camping guide on CD ROM is a much-requested add-on to your membership. It has everything the camping guide has in print, plus MUCH more. We've added fun games you can play on your computer, expanded online resources, a products catalog, and clickable links to EVERY Happy Camper park with a web site - plus an easy-access portal to the trip planner. It's the favorite item of the year for our members.
5. We are the only club that offers a whole FREE YEAR for referral of new members. We firmly believe that the best way to grow the club is for our members to invite their friends to join. Word of mouth is our most important endorsement, and we must be doing it right - because we double membership every year through member referrals.
Thanks for staying aware of the discount camping programs available to you, and for giving us your input as we go along. WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU, and those of you who have written to us or called know that WE LISTEN, and WE RESPOND to what our customers want. Happy Camping!
Anne Pierson
Club President
