This is true but I don't leave the BBQ on my boat. When I pack it for a trip, the BBQ goes on board. It's a table top one so it is kept inside and out of the weather. Most of the time, I use my small...

It wasn't the seal on the toilet drain, it was the seal for the flushing valve. We pulled into a campground and hooked up the water. Since the toilet was slowly flushing and we didn't know it, the...

I used to blow the lines out and not use the antifreeze until I had to replace the 12 volt pump. I found out the diaphragm in the pump dries out over time when there is no liquid on it. Mine cracked...

Re: Gas prices - will they change your travel plans?

We got rid of our old motorhome because we could not afford the gas and it was getting too old. We now have a smaller camper to pull behind my truck. As far as gas prices, it has an effect on my...

Re: Winterize question

I used to blow the lines out with air and it worked but after a while, the pump stopped working. If the pump is left dry, the seals will start to decay, crack and stop working. The toilet in my RV...

Re: What are you doing?

Well, I'm sitting at work, monitoring the guys who work under me and waiting for the night to end. If we're lucky, our shift ends at 1:00am but we usually don't get out until 2 or 3am. At least the...
