He rubbed and scrubbed each time, and then she rinsed them with bottled water. He dried them with paper towel which also went into the zip lock container. By then I was over being annoyed at how long it was taking because the show they put on was so amusing.

They also drive alone with masks on

I do everything the way the manual says.

P.S. DW reads this

We also poo in our camper bathroom. Why do ppl spend the only on an rv and not use the bathroom is beyond me!!

[thenovaks]

We use rest areas to sleep. Usually ignore the directions for trucks (sometimes rv's) to park in the truck lot. We park way on the end of the "cars" area. Always plenty of space, unlike the truck area which is generally over full. I prefer to give the truckers a spot to get a much-needed rest. Never been bothered about it.

I have committed the double sin of not only using “starting” batteries, but also not BCI group CG2, 24,27, or 31. Jay

I'm sure there's more!

Yeah, Count me in as well although I do put a trap in the sewer hose to trap grey water when I leave the line open. Prevents odor coming up into the sinks. Run my refrigerator when getting gas. I fill my fresh water tank from the garden hose at home. Sometimes, I even drink from the garden hose.
I have never worn nitrile gloves when dumping, I use TP and go #2 in the toilet. So I am in the same boat as you doing everything WRONG!!! BUT, Like you, I am still here. AND still doing it all wrong!

Hummph!

- We love the mattress that came in our 5er. Provides us a great night's sleep.
- I religiously turn the water off to the camper when we leave it at the campsite, even if it's for an hour or two.
- I too use the ladder and walk around on the roof.

Man we thought we must be crazy because we love the mattress in the last two campers. Both innerspring Denver Mattress. Sleep like a baby

[Shenandoah]

Well...

We use the Capital Grill, always put a griddle on top of it never cook on the surface.

We have the Furrion LIT, white for the outside kitchen, Black for inside the rig.

No TV in the bedroom.

36 gal. Rhino black portable tank w/POS Clean Dump macerator pump.

Use grey water to flush pipes after black dump, no gloves.

Run open frame generator on propane only.

Nothing new just adding to the noise...

Same. If not, I would have just bought a cardboard box and put it on an axle.

This.

We winterize our trailer 5 or 6 times each year because our 3 year old likes camping too much to worry about the cold. Seems a lot of campers in our area think you are only legally permitted to do so once per season. It's going to be 13c (55ish f?) and sunny this weekend, campgrounds will be nearly empty.

We take the trailer up logging roads / forest service roads.

We have never camped in an RV park, or even anywhere with a concrete pad for the trailer. Our first time camping with full hookups will be next month.

We cook a lot of the same meals while camping that we cook at home. Inside or outside the trailer, depending on the weather.

This thread should become a sticky. It is an entertaining and informative read.

I agree.

[Raines]

We actually enjoy and use our u-shaped-dinette alot!
We run the generator and ac and fridge while driving.
I have drove through the night, stopping at a rest area for a couple hours to nap, to get where we needed to be faster.
We love having only one slideout in living area so everything is still spacious while driving!
We like a north south bed
