    Ideas for cleaning fresh water tank

    I wonder if a pool supply store would have something. Of course you could go to an RV store and they might have something too. I carry two 5-gallon water jugs on the back of my truck and I put an eye dropper full of Clorox bleach in each one every time I fill them up. There's probably all sorts...

    Route 66

    As an alternative try route 50 which is a quiet two lane that runs from Sacramento to the Eastern shore of Maryland. Mostly small towns and a few big cities you have to Wade through. That is if you're not in a hurry

    For Christian Van Dwellers...

    I'm also a Christian and have been traveling for 5 years and I try to explore new places so I have to do research about what's nearby each time. I usually use Google maps and see if there are any churches within a reasonable distance. I'm currently camped near Skykomish WA and I found a...

    changing church attendance locations on the road

    I attend when it's not too far from where I'm camped. I always wear jeans and a tee-shirt my preferred mode of dress. Over the last 5 years I don't remember having a bad experience. I approach life with the attitude that no one owes me anything so I'm genuinely appreciaitive when folks treat...

    Odd conversation at the border

    Several years ago I decided to drive up to Alaska through Alberta and then come back through British Columbia. When I first crossed the border I was driving and I kept getting these texts messages. After a few hours I took a break to check my phone and saw that I had already run up $50 in...

    Fine for campfire

    I'm camping in a National Forest Campground east of Seattle. It's posted at the entrance that there are no campfires allowed also the camp host stops by when you are setting up to give you the same information. A family camped nearby decided to go ahead and have a campfire anyway so the ranger...

    My grey tank was giving off a odor this morning so I dumped about a cup of baking soda down the drain which cleared it up.

    Escaping a forest fire

    Earlier this year I was camped outside Williams Arizona and there was a fire about 40 miles north of me. I was pleasantly surprised when Facebook sent me an alert about the fire. Still you have to assume responsibility for your own safety. I'm currently camped outside Leavenworth Washington in a...

    Towing Capacity

    I started full timing with a Jeep Wrangler and looked around for a trailer that I thought I could tow and I wound up with a 16 foot scamp trailer. Due to the Jeeps short wheel base I had to be careful but I got by for 2 years. I traded the Jeep in for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 V10 so I could...

    Travel Trailer Quality Differences

    I have a 2013 Layton Skyline 23 foot travel trailer that I bought used about two and a half years ago. I'm full time and I've driven thousands of miles with it. I haven't seen any deterioration yet. I usually camp Off the Grid so I'm not always on paved roads. At least once a year I go up and...

    Is anyone traveling through central California?

    Currently in the North Cascades. I would head over to the Ancient Brislecone Forest above Bishop and beat the heat at over 10000 feet unless there's smoke.

    Deciding

    I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 with an 8-foot bed and I tow a 23 foot travel trailer. My 1985 Harley dresser which weighs about 850 lbs I load into the back of the pickup with a rampage motorcycle lift. I've been on the road for almost 5 years and using that setup for 3 and it works for me

    Eastern US boondocking

    There are three free campgrounds along the Natchez Trace Parkway that starts in Nashville and ends in Natchez. The campgrounds are actually very nice with designated sites and a restroom. I think it was a 14 day max. They were still free as of last year anyway. The West is so much better for...

    Do it or lose it!

    I had a similar situation with my one son for 10 years. There were several mental health interventions and 3 County Prison lockups. When he was 21 he took his own life. He was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. I think by most peoples standards I did right by him. Of course Looking Back Now as...
