    3 Months Full Time...

    Thanks John, I just popped the hood and took a picture of what I think it is and what you described. I will probably do the same as far as wrench. This is the filter right? Middle of the pic above the oil refill cap. So the wrench fits over that nut looking protrusion and that is where I...

    3 Months Full Time...

    ...and I think I am doing ok. Can't really say though. I'm getting great rest. What I am thinking to all you experienced, how many months, years so I can say I can continue on. My real concern is just when things will eventually break down in the vehicle or the need of maintenance inside...

    Air Tight Garbage Container

    So basically my ex was onto something when she put a bag or an empty Hagan daz ice cream pint filled with future compost in the freezer. Keeps my concern at bay, the smell. Interesting.

    Air Tight Garbage Container

    I don't care If I open it and it smell of course. I care when it's supposed to be sealed. Unseal and sealing ruins the zip. So a container is better. I understand it's going to smell when you open it. Not going the freezer route. My ex was a compost nut would put bag In freezer. This was...

    Air Tight Garbage Container

    I didn't know where to post, regular household garbage. Yes I seen the poop advice. Why I posted here is because it's starting to affect personal hygiene whenever open then bag and it won't seal. So the smell of the household garbage leaks. So I need an actual container.

    Air Tight Garbage Container

    Inexpensive, keeps smell in of course, air tight. Just need small enough to last a few days before I empty. Will probably use a standard grocery plastic bag liner. These past three months I have been using just the thick plastic bags that seal and are odor tight that you can buy at an outdoor...

    Seatbelt for Dog

    Any recommendations? I have seen some. But now for RVs. I want some tried and true for the rec van. The seatbelt would have to be able to be used not only when he's sitting shotgun but also in the main foyer where that handle is to go down from the side.

    Level Gauge Black Water Tank...

    My fresh water tank is 24 gal. Basically half of the Black. Freshwater goes down the black more that the grey. Ill add +/-5% that it goes into Gray. I take showers and use the sink more at my work facilities than the RV. And the level gauge in Freshwater is accurate. If it shows 75% left...

    Level Gauge Black Water Tank...

    Where would plumbing be under the "life on the road" section of this forum? Didn't see one. So maybe i can ask here. My black water level gauge is always off. I didn't really start using the inlet flush connection or spray hose into the toilet until probably two months of use. I would...

    Aspiring Minimalist, getting stuck on keeping items just in case.

    Love this! I think I am minimalist. It all started of course at a home with the parents. It all started just trying consolidate things, like clothes. It's probably more of a learned trait than anything. Just donating the old and keeping what you use and what to clean a on scheduled...

    Lithium Battery question

    The disconnect switch is the same as main power switch used the same way. So I have to switch the main power on so that the alternator will charge the battery?
