We camp year round. No problem not having water. We have a jug for drinking and we can get by a couple days without a shower. Our furnace is the best part of the RV. We use it all the time.

Ethanol is a cleaner.

Engines that are 2-stroke (and thus have oil in the gas) gum up because the gas evaporates, leaving oil behind.

Explain what gum up means.
