Heading near the Ozarks that Thursday for the weekend. Good thing we planned to leave early!
Campendium is a good tool. I’ve been using Good Sam and RV Life alot lately to find pet friendly options (both have a filter to only show pet-friendly options), then I book directly with the campground.
My in-laws have a Jayco jaysport with a toilet. They love it. Jayco stopped making pop-ups a few years back though, but you could probably find a decent deal on a used one. Also, when you say bathroom, do you mean shower and toilet or just toilet?
No, when using city water it should bypass the freshwater tank.
I’ve had the Waste Master for as long as I can remember and it’s worked perfectly. Can’t go wrong with it
Thanks for the reminder! Might have to put the membership to some good use next month
Definitely year round. It may even be required if you have a loan on your RV.
I’ve used one before. I’m not sure if they actually lower the internal temperature of the fridge, but they do move the cold air around, evenly distributing it throughout the fridge, which is helpful. So, they do in effect keep your items in your fridge better cooled.
Not for RV-specific gas stations. But truck stops like Love’s/Pilot’s, Buccee’s, etc are usually pretty safe bets to be compatible with your motorhome/trailer. And I know for sure Love’s has an app.
I’ve used them in the past with success, but we camp a lot, and it would get pricey constantly buying refills for it. Something to think about.
+1 for the crockpot. And sandwiches, salads, etc. basically foods/meals that don’t need to be cooked can come in handy on those extremely hot days.
We have an air fryer but that heats up the camper just as much as our oven. Maybe its just our model of air fryer.
Yes, always. Its cheap insurance. We’ve had the power go out 3 times (that I can remember) over the last 15 years. So not alot, but it does happen and the generator helped each time.
Chewy, Amazon, Petco, etc. You might have to order online if you need a larger one.
Also, some campgrounds don’t allow them, so check ahead of time or have a backup plan (like a leash run)
A dual-hose setup has one hose for intake (bringing in air from outside to cool the unit) and another for exhaust (expelling hot air outside). Single-hose units can create negative pressure inside the RV, causing warm outside air to seep in through cracks and gaps. A dual-hose system minimizes this effect by balancing the air pressure. Essentially, they lead to faster cooling and improved efficiency.
Yep, you can use a portable AC unit. I used to run a 7,000 BTU Whynter Portable AC in mine. I have a 50 amp RV so power wasn’t an issue, but somethign to keep in mind depending on your setup. Also, you’ll want a dual hose unit (and you’ll need somewhere to vent the hoses to the outside. mine came with a window kit). And you’ll have to continually drain the pan if it doesn’t have a pump that drains it out the window.
It was a little noisy. And the fan runs whether its cooling or not, so it always makes noise.
All that said, it worked really well!
