Using the right toilet paper in you RV makes a big difference when it comes to dumping the tanks. During our first season we used the standard Costco Kirkland Signature Bath Tissue. It is not too terribly thick and I checked to make sure it was septic safe. Based on this, I decided to giveContinue reading “SWW Stuff: Toilet Paper”

SWW Stuff: Waste Digester
I have been using Pure Power Blue Bio-Pouches since the end of our first season of camping. After starting with a different product, we were having troubles with black tank solids a the end of our first season and wanted to try something different. With good reviews on Amazon.com, I choose Pure Power Blue andContinue reading “SWW Stuff: Waste Digester”
SWW Stuff: Trailer Cover
At a cost of around $500 for our size trailer, I doubted originally whether a cover is necessary. Then as I inspect the cover and see how much the cover has faded over the past three winters, I remind myself how harsh the Colorado sunlight can be. The additional protection provided by the cover overContinue reading “SWW Stuff: Trailer Cover”
SWW Stuff: Tire Covers
Even though we are already on our second set of tires in four years, something for another post, I fully expect tires to be replaced due to age instead of miles on our trailer. Tires age through exposure to oxygen, sunlight (UV light specifically), and heat. While in storage tire tire covers remove the exposureContinue reading “SWW Stuff: Tire Covers”

Our refrigerator does have built in latches to keep the doors open while in storage. However, in order to keep the doors from swinging during transport these latchesContinue reading “SWW Stuff: Door Latch”

Winterizing: Linens and Soft Goods
One of the challenges I face when winterizing the trailer each fall is how and where to store all the linens and soft goods from the trailer. I decided right away when we got the trailer was that we were going to have a lot of designated “Camper” things to prevent having so much toContinue reading “Winterizing: Linens and Soft Goods”
SWW Stuff: DampRid
While winter typically dries out the Colorado air, the temperature swings can be quite dramatic. These temperature swings can cause condensation in enclosed spaces like a covered, winterized trailer. To help account for this potential moisture build up in the trailer I add DampRid. DampRid uses the hygroscopic properties of calcium chloride to capture moistureContinue reading “SWW Stuff: DampRid”
