    Cleaning bugs off the front of your vehicle

    The last time I went to clean the bugs off my RV, my wife suggested that I use a Scrub Daddy instead of a standard sponge. I couldn't believe how easy it was to remove these dried-on little monsters. It took a fraction of the normal time to remove them with no chance of scratching your paint...

    Trip to national parks in Utah

    We did the whole Utah loop on our way to Alaska this spring. Our Favorite NP was Monument Valley. We dry camped on the ledge on the valley. Watching the sun set over the valley,  was just incredible. Equaled anything we saw in Alaska. If you happen to go there then Mesa Verde in CO is a must do.

    If you have your jacks firmly planted in the ground or pavement without some kind of isolated barrier between your jacks and the ground, does everyone in the RV get fried if the RV get hit by lightning?
