Protect Your Fridge

RV refrigerators are expensive, so anything we can do to extend their life is worthwhile. One culprit that will contribute to the demise of your fridge is off-level operation. An RV refrigerator operates on gravity. The ammonia absorption system has no pumps or compressors to move the refrigerant (a mixture...

WoundSeal

In the past, I’ve talked about how to stop RV roof leaks and how to keep your sewer hose from leaking, but now I’d like to talk about how to keep you from leaking. Blood, that is. I think I’m like most folks when I say that I’m accident-prone to...

Sewer Hose Storage Tube

The time has come to speak of one of the least-loved RV accessories: your RV sewer hose. Referred to as the “stinky slinky,” it is nevertheless a necessary gadget, and it deserves special treatment. After all, we wouldn’t want it to turn on us and spring a leak or fail...

Tie Down that Tank
