            Gulf state park! Huge lots, you dont feel like your neighbors are an arms length away. Like Georgia said though its hard to get a spot.

                    Great, thanks! The wife hates spraying bug spray on the kids so I’m looking for alternatives. I’ll give it a shot.

                                When the wind starts to make the awning flap, it gets rolled in! And we never leave it out unattended.

                                    Drive the speed you’re comfortable at, but try not to go under the posted minimum. Most people find around 65 to be the sweet spot, but it depends on the driver, the rig, weather conditions, whether you are towing a vehicle, etc.

                                     

                                    That’s what I figured, and what I do. Thanks for confirming

                                        Agreed. My plan is to take an entire summer basically living in my RV  and se ehow i goes. Kind of a dry run to see how we like it.

                                            The dealer I bought my RV from recommended Tanktechs rx. The bacteria in it kills bad smells, doesnt just mask them like others. I’ve gone a week in high heat without emptying my tanks and no foul odors whatsoever.

                                            The one downside guess is you have to remember to NOT empty your tanks completely. The directions say to leave an inch of liquid to maintain the bacteria that has built up in the tank. It might be difficult for some to know how much is left in your tank.

                                                Looks like they have a similar adapter at my local Walmart. I’ll pick one up. Thanks

                                                    I’ve never stopped either, but I’ve read that CO is one of the states that does require it, and I’ll be driving through there this spring. I cant find anything on their govt website though
