    Living full time in an RV park?

    If you rent in an RV park, be aware that almost all monthly rentals ALSO bill for your electricity use.  In the park we are in (Arizona) someone tried to summer over in the park in their fifth wheel, and ended up with a $500 bill for electricity in the month.  The casita nearby had a $200 bill...

    Mobile Hotspot

    We are in Boulder,WY.  Of course, you must have some cell service.  But we are getting great speed (streaming) with 1-2 bars of service here. We tried Visible after reading a post from a techie sort of person that was using Visible for his work.  He also preferred using a cell booster to be...

    Mobile Hotspot

    We changed our phone service to Visible.  They give truly unlimited, unthrottled phone, text, and data with one hotspot on each line.  Visible uses Verizon towers so coverage is excellent.  The best part is each line is $40 dollars a month TOTAL.  No hidden fees, no contract. We are currently...

    New to RV Life KOA question

    Definitely worth it, especially if you are travelling a lot.  You get the 10% discount, and also accumulate points which will give you a monetary discount toward your stay ($25 dollars and up). To me, one of the big advantages is the ability to reschedule easily if something in your itinerary...

    central vacuum

    Gotta second the recommend on the battery powered Dyson.  Cleans WAY better than the central vac ever did, and I don't have to wrestle the hose, etc.  Love It!

    I switched to VISIBLE for Phone Service!

    Thank you, Tom.  I am NOT a spammer, just trying to share an excellent deal to the folks on this forum.  It is possible to sign up without the referral code...however, you will get the $20 off the first bill if you use the code. The difference in this service from others is the truly unlimited...

    I switched to VISIBLE for Phone Service!

    I have been frustrated for some time about the cost of phone service as a full timer.  For us, our phones were our one reliable source for internet in addition to phone and text needs.  Recently, I came across another post on one of the forums regarding Visible.com as an alternative to other...

    If you could change to a motorhome, would you?

    We had two motorhomes prior to our current fifth wheel.  For us, the fifth wheel has been lightyears more roomy and seems like home...which is important because we are fulltimers.  My husband says towing the fifth wheel is easier than driving the motorhome also, in particular regarding wind gust...

    What to use to clean toilet and tub

    In the shower area, after (or during!) a good warm shower....use a net "pouf" and body wash to quickly wash down all the surfaces in the shower area.  You would be amazed at how well this works.  All grime, soap scum, water marks, will come right off.  After the wonderfully clean shower dries...

    Berkley RV homeless

    I am a retired RN.  When I was in training, each state had State Mental Hospitals that provided treatment and shelter for those that needed it, regardless of their ability to pay.  As student nurses, we were required to do rotations in these State Hospitals during our Psych rotations.  It was an...

    Shower not draining - help!

    BE CAREFUL!!!!!  Many of the showers have a HEPVO valve instead of a P trap.  The HepVO valve has a rubber duckbill inside it to prevent backups and gas coming into the rig.  We thought we had a clog, snaked the drain, and DESTROYED the HepVO valve.  KNOW BEFORE YOU SNAKE THAT DRAIN!! You can...

    Best way to store a lot of recipes in an RV

    Oh, and I see you are asking HOW to store them in Word... If you SCAN them, you would store them as a JPEG which is like a picture.  Make a folder for Recipes in your Photo files.

    Best way to store a lot of recipes in an RV

    I would encourage you to digitize them.  In fact, SCAN the originals, and then you will still have the original writer's handwriting for posterity.  There are a couple good reasons to do this...saving them into the CLOUD will make sure that no catastrophe will destroy them forever without...

    Oxygen Concentrator Use On The Road

    From my background as a hospital RN, I can say that I would be more concerned about oxygen cylinders falling over from sudden movement or instability.  It would be VERY important to make sure they are secured COMPLETELY, especially when underway, because the pressurized cylinders can become...
