RE: You tube Fulltimers getting squeezed
Seems the majority of them have more and more commercials before the video even starts. Who wants to sit through that.

RE: Cleaning Water Jugs
I store mine filled with chlorinated city water. When I'm going to use them again, I empty rinse and refill.

RE: Tankless Hot Water Heater (Gas)
Many of the newest RV's come with the Truma Aqua Go which gives instant hot water. It has a one liter reservoir of hot water so it doesn't need time to sense the water flow. I think it has become the new standard.

RE: Silver Bullet Hose
Manufacturer says do not leave it pressurized except when using it so not recommended for continuous hookup. I use one for filling the water tank and for washing down. It's important to note on the label that it is approved for potable water, some of them are not.

RE: Bedding in overhead beds in T/C
I'm 80. Still do fitted sheets. Making the overhead bed isn't fun but it's doable. We're starting to look at class C's or B+'s with walkaround beds. Getting a little tired of slithering in and out of the overhead but we'll miss the offroad possibilities.

RE: Is support needed when storing for an extended time?
Probably depends on your camper but we have never used anything but the jacks to hold it up when off the truck for the last 13 years.
Did you ever notice that the new campers in RV dealers lots or RV shows are just standing on the jacks while people are traipsing through them?

RE: Making A Warmer Truck Camper Bed
Our 200 watt matress pad heater uses only 4 ampere hours to run for a 15 minute warm up and then you get to climb into a nice warm bed.

RE: Making A Warmer Truck Camper Bed
X2 on heated mattress pad. We use it to preheat the bed before we get in. If boondocking, running on battery, we use an inverter to preheat for about 15 minutes.

RE: How fast do you drive with camper on? .
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. Please leave earlier or wait until it's safe to pass or wait until I get to the next pullout.

RE: How fast do you drive with camper on? .
On 2 lane roads, I'm usually at or more likely slghtly over the speed limit and I use pullouts when I have 5 vehicles behind me as required in many states but often with less than 5 or even one if they've been back there for awhile. However, it seems there is often someone who is in such a hurry that they will pass me in a no passing zone.

RE: Torklift tie down maintenance
Rust converters (reformers) have been around for many years. They work by converting ferric oxide (red rust) to ferrous oxide (magnetite). I use them whenever there is any rust on steel before painting. You can even just convert the rust and leave it unpainted if appearance is no concern. They turn the rust black. There are a number of different brands.
