EZ Care Batteries

Whether you boondock or not, the batteries that supply power to your chassis and house are a critical component of your RV.

When it comes to batteries, you have two choices…maintenance free or those requiring regular maintenance. The less one has to worry about the better so many opt to install batteries that require no effort on their part.

It Takes A Marine!

Leave it to a Marine to come up with a solution to a problem, especially one who knows about vehicles having served as a Tank Commander from Vietnam thru Gulf War I. Other RVers discovered that if you use one of those plastic Christmas tree stands, you can support your inline water filter. That in itself is a good idea, but if you’re a Marine who knows that the storage space available in any special purpose vehicle must serve to hold as much as possible.

Watch Those Steps

For those of you who are considering purchasing a 5^th wheel trailer as your new home on wheels, whether as full or part timers, look closely at a very important aspect of the floor plan. Many models have the master bedroom up front over the fifth wheel. Just aft of that at the top of the steps is the bathroom.

RV Stigmas

We looked forward to being able to say to others when asked … “We’re full time RV’rs.” We even expected that shocked or confused look on their faces when they heard that. Some don’t have a clue what that mean,s but there are those who will look upon you with great disdain as they envision you as “trailer park trash” only with a trendy moniker.

Oily Experience

Ruby at the Speedco-San Antonio, TX

Our motor home was overdue for a routine servicing…lube, oil and filters. Since we’re full-timers we needed to find a place that was convenient and one that didn’t require us to find accommodations away from our home on wheels.

I’ve been reading reports on the various RVing Forums about the experiences others have had at dedicated RV dealerships and what they paid for the services provided. Some mentioned they had great service from Speedco, a quick lube place for big rigs and commercial vehicles. The idea is you get in and out quickly, so I decided to give them a try.
