Nope. But we don’t use our freshwater tank for drinking, just for showers. We buy our drinking water
I always fill with water. The added weight might slightly lessen your gas mileage, but its worth it if you dont have water where you’re going. I always fill mine full to prevent the water from heavily swishing to one side when turning. I dont know for sure if that could cause an issue with swaying or not, but I dont want to put it to the test lol
I’ve never covered mine. I give it a good wax in Fall and make sure to keep snow off it during winter. I check my seals often and they have always looked good.
2-4 gallons depending on size of your plumbing system and appliances. You’ll need probably twice that if you have a water heater that takes anti-freeze (typically only on-demand water heaters recommend anti-freeze, but refer to your manual).
No need. Plus, I’d be afraid of creating a nice warm shelter for mice…
Nope, but I’m pretty sure our german shepard has a lot to do with that.
More often than not we boondock. It’s economical, peaceful, and I just love the setting compared to RV parks.
A cat will work wonders too! 🙂
A good TPMS is the best thing you can have for tire pressure. It checks it constantly and will let you know right away if it goes out of range.
@kdewall – sound advice! lol
I had my eye on the Camco Rhinoflex since they have it in stock at my local Walmart for $36. Seemed to good to be true, but I’ll definitely have to check it out now. Thanks
I don’t have any brand to recommend but make sure you get an amplified antenna for the most channels/quality reception.

Cook entire meals in the microwave in no time at all and they actually taste good
Great tips! Having lived in Florida, I’m no stranger to hurricanes. I would add to keep up with the storm by using a hurricane tracker app on your phone. It’s also recommended to leave 72 hours before the hurricane hits to stay ahead of evacuation traffic. Aim to evacuate to a destination about an hour or so outside the hurricane’s path, depending on its strength and direction.
If the hurricane has hit, do not attempt to take your RV. You will likely face ridiculous traffic and strong winds, making travel dangerous. Like Tory said, make sure your RV is insured, as it can be replaced (you can’t be). Instead, take important documents like insurance papers, extra cash if possible, pets, water, and nonperishable food with you.
I stored an extra in our basement when we went boondocking. I doubt the basement is sealed tight enough to contain the gas if there’s a leak.
