Our New RV
Comments (4)Congrats Nina, You will love ruffin it. We have -3- slides on ours and it feels like home (almost), Sorry you had a nightmare with the hitch, usually on the plate they know where is locked down you can feel it catch. And like you said that dealer would be fixing everything. Nanci...See MoreRV Camper Peeps?
Comments (17)If you haven't started putting your things in the RV the best tip I was ever given was to put a notebook on the table and write down EVERYTHING that goes into your home away from home. That goes from the bedding right down to the toothpicks. If you also write down where it is going to be stored you will save yourself so much time when you get on the road and can see at a glance what you need for the next meal or what you forgot to bring. If you think of it place that list where you can see it and check off items as you use them or take them back inside when you get home like the laundry. After a few trips out you will see things that you forgot...things you need to add and also the things you can remove because you didn't need them in the first place...coming from an overpacker here. I cooked all our meals and I use a lot of spices etc...they take up way too much room in the rv so I took tic tac boxes and put the names of each spice on the cans. Camera film containers or pill bottles from the drugstore work well too. By using some spices from the house I saved money and found that the ones in the rv if left for a period of time only get damp anyway, therefore it wasn't too much to replace...See MoreRV's and food storage tip help
Comments (4)Even cereal needs to be in a plastic or glass container....those little varmints will get into anything...I found mouse poop every where food had ever been ..the little critter was steady searching for any crumbs... Since you are not moving you will not be interested in this hint but maybe someone who does move around will be...There are some things that just need to be in a particular place all the time and I hated picking them up and moving them every time you move so I solved that issue by velcroing baskets to certain places....For instance...I have a small basket about 2 inches X 7 inches wide on my night stand that holds my reading glasses, hand cream, tums, nail clippers etc etc and another on next to my captains chair up front...at the table, I have one , much larger, on each side of the table...one will hold his prescriptions and supplements, the salt and pepper, and mine on the other side, holds mine...the space between the two baskets hold napkins,,,It's nice that we don't have to clear the table every time we move..the baskets look nice and will hold enough that we can toss in whatever else we need . There is a basket on the counter top where we keep scissors, the dogs leash, tape, things we need to get to quickly and then there is a bin that we have taped to the bulkhead over the motor where we carry things like battery chargers. flashlights bulky items and on top of that another basket that has the phone charger and keys, wallet and change for tolls and lots of other things like glasses and clippers blah blah blah...couldn't get along without the baskets......See MoreLeast expensive way to heat a RV?
Comments (43)"Inexpensive to operate compared to an electric heater." No, I don't think that's true. As I said above, a 1500 watt resistance heater (which all portable heaters are) would use 1.5 KwH of electricity in one hour and would produce 5000 BTUs. They're all the same. If an electric radiator stays warm for awhile, then compared to a radiant heater that would emit 5000 BTUs in an hour, maybe this one if unplugged after one hour would emit 3500 BTUs for the first hour and then another 1500 as it cools off. Electric resistance is heating the liquid inside and one kind of electric resistance of an equal wattage is the same as another. If something is rated at fewer watts, it gives off less heat. A 750 watt heater (half of 1500 in the example) would use half as much electricity and give off 2500 BTUs (half of 5000)...See MoreK R
