Is it just me, or does it seem that gas prices fluctuated less 30 years ago? I seem to recall that gas only fluctuated a few cents through the 90's. Today it seems to suddenly jump as much as $.30 a...

Chains have full articulation and most recommend using no more than 6 chain links. With StrapTek the bars can be raised to the frame if desired. I have about 1" of strap showing and the straps do not...

StrapTek

I recently replaced the chains on my standard WD hitch with StrapTek, and I'm actually shocked by the difference. I was dubious of the claim the friction sway bar was no longer necessary so I kept it...

I found that my ducts had a lot of dead space at the end. I plugged up the extra duct and my airflow increased a lot.

It's your choice. I keep some small brass finishing nails in my RV. I add some glue and then the small finishing nail. I've found they hold better than the original staples.

If you have an air compressor just blow out the lines and add anti-freeze to the traps. Drain the water heater and turn the bypass valve first. You can do a quick winterization this way in about 15...

I park really close to a retaining wall and bent a rear one a couple of years ago. I replaced them with beefier ones with no problem. Made quite a difference. I think two of the holes lined up with...

Not so many hazards in the MO Ozarks. Only about 350 black bears statewide and while we do get occasional visits from mountain lions, no confirmed mating pairs.

That's the anti-backflow valve for your black tank flush. It's a vacuum breaker. I've only heard of them leaking when using the black tank flush. There's no pressure in that line otherwise. It's a...

If you have a couple of gallons of water in a tank with a capacity of 30+ gallons it isn't any concern. Freezing causes problems because water expands when it freezes. Water expands about 9% when it...

I don't know why they even bother to put sensors on the black tank. You learn how long your family takes to fill it up. We can make it 4 days with 3 people. Then I check with a flashlight.

Something you don't see every day

Spotted this Chevy Colorado and 5th wheel combo. It's not a Keystone, but it is probably the smallest 5th wheel I've seen. Never dreamed someone would tow a 5er with a Colorado!
