I'm washing the MH tomorrow, I'll take some pics and post them. You won't need a very large tank for pressure wash, set it to fine mist spray.

I have pics of the setup and stowage if you want to see them.

;D When I said I wanted to full time in a MH we came to some agreements. She really likes living in a MH because everything is built-in and the place is cozy. I take care of outside things related to the MH she takes care of the inside. She likes flowers so she grows orchids, I have a...

Envy you, being able to experience both joys at the same time. The sound of little ones is the best music. Mine is grown and I discovered RV/NH too late. Maybe I can rent the nieces and nephews...

Not everything needs to get hung out, just heavy things and only for a short while so maybe I misstated a little. We try not to stay at typical campgrounds because for us that is like just moving from one park to another. We fulltime and in our permanent site the spaces are fenced, you can't...

I'd rather listen to a baby's vocals than real loud music, barking dogs or loud piped motorcycles any time (I ride btw). If they are old enough to go in the car, they are probably old enough to go anywhere else. We like having ones around the place.  If we were a little younger we'd be part of...

I also want to ad that this is not constant washing. I let the clothes soak a bit and I usually go read/reply to email, surf the net and things like that. So only a little of the time is actually spent with me washing. There is no lint coming out of the clothes so I bet they will last longer...

Here is an idea of the time: On average I will wash 10 pair of pants (mostly black/blue jeans), 25 shirts, 28 pair of socks, 4 thick shower towels, 4 face cloths, 14 t-shirts and underpants, 2 pair of sweat pants, a lightweight jacket, 14 women's panties, two weeks of bras (whatever that comes...

I got just my annual registration and license fee reminder from the DMV. All I can say is that the money I send in is a complete waste. The roads are horrible, no rest stops to speak of, restrictions everywhere (california). California has closed most rest areas. Heading into a food store...

We elected not to have a washer/dryer installed in our 09 Journey 34Y. There were quite a few reasons we decided not to have the install but not wanting to go to laundromats all the time we tried out the hand washer and high speed spin dryer from the Laundry Alternative. WOW! Their products...

I tie off any time I am on the roof. I thought this would be common practice but from reading lots of stories about RV/MH owners falling off the roof I guess not. From a law enforcement and military background in my younger years I learned never to get above shoulder height on anything without...

Try this: Get one of those compressor connected pressure washers. It is nothing more than a pressure washer end with a siphon hose that goes into a bucket. With a full tank of fresh water you have more than enough to wash any sized MH or RV. I use ICE washing liquid and mix it into a large...

We have auto/hydraulic jacks and they are push button automatic. The tires never come off the ground. One thing about jacks though, with the recent heavy rains in the last couple of years, there was a time when I jacked up the ol bounder to avoid water flooding. Without jacks, that downpour and...

First, I want to say that in my opinion the manufacturer of my motorcoach is fantastic and subscribes to what I think is the right way to stand behind a product. That aside, I have seen first hand enough things going on in the industry to have come to the conclusion that a fundamental change is...

When I explain (you usually need to explain) to those who have never tried full timing I hear the usual comments about trailer trash and so on. In my explanation I always freely admit to having trailer trash at our home base park. But every Tuesday, the truck comes around and empties the trash...
