    Dogs

    I like your idea of a cargo trailer.  No setup or take down, no in-ground staking. You could get inventive as to how you would position the dogs.  I assume they are with you most of the time? Tie one on each side if they don't mind being separated.  Allow enough chain so they can reach into the...

    No-refrigeration foods

    Thanks.  Cooking is really all I need butter for.  I use preserves w/o butter on bread.  Now I need to search for NFF Sour Cream packets.

    No-refrigeration foods

    Hi, Have you ever tried the powdered butter sold a places like Amazon? Ghee is clarified butter?  It lasts w/o refrigeration?  That's what I'm aiming for.

    tankless water heater, tank, and what?

    When Jann mentioned the LP heater, and a small tank of water, I took it to mean that would be the source of water to feed the heater.  It's possible the rig has NO water system. Dunno

    tankless water heater, tank, and what?

    I love my point-of-use water heater.  Use it in the summer when the furnace is turned off.  Once you find the right size, see if you can get the seller to give you schematics and installation instructions. If you're near an RV sales place, see if they have a unit on their lot with a tank-less. ...

    Awesome Way to Wash Your Clothes or Complete Waste of Money?

    Thst's a nice one.  Is there a reason doing laundry in a bag is better than  in a basin?  Is it the fact your hands don't get wet?

    Awesome Way to Wash Your Clothes or Complete Waste of Money?

    I like the dry bag idea. Compact.  Assume it can be used to store dirty laundry as long as it's left open. What size is best.  This one is <a...

    Cleaning dishes with cider vinager

    Sounds right.  What is the mix of water to white vinegar, to be strong enough to kill whatever?

    Cleaning dishes with cider vinager

    I see 90 something % alcohol used. Why not the more multi-use 70% rubbing alchy? Wonder which is cheaper. alcohol or white vinegar.

    NOT SURE WHAT TO DO?

    Hi, I'm one to come up with crazy, outside the box ideas. Will one rig tow the other?  That would give you an emergency vehicle.  You could make one your sleeping quarters, and the other your daytime pad.  :D OK so it would be better to do as a previous poster said... sell both and get one...

    I like this, makes sense. Angie, tx for URL, meanwhile found this <a href=""><b>WATER IN THE DESERT</b></a>

    Methuselah Remodel

    Angie, the process doesn't sound very promising for desert dwellers.  Still would li8ke to know at certain humidity levels, how much water can be collected this way.  I use very little water myself, so there's that, plus where I live ther's clean water all over the place. However, If I travel to...

    The graphic shows a very simple operation.  When you tried it in the B.S., how much pure water could be "created" and how loing did it take?  TY, I shall experiment with it.

    Hi Smart Moderator,  I thought the 2 or 3 month maintenance was nutty.  Thanks for the update. Am I correct in thinking a rubber roof is better than regular, painting w/fiber type roofs? I still wonder if sheet aluminum could be attached to a MH roof.

    Dealer is closed today, but I'm preparing what I need to ask when I look REX over.  In addition to my mechanic's review of all systems.  Compression? 1.  Is the curtain setup in the loft hiding any problems? 2.  What is in the pail in the tub?  Some kind of goop for maintenance? 3.  Is the roof...
