2011 RV Tips and Tricks

 
  • Put moth balls near the propane lines of the water heater and refrigerator. This will deter spiders.
  • To protect your RV’s plumbing, use a water pressure regulator when connected to any water source.
  • Use an auto battery charger to charge your batteries.
  • Have quarters available for unexpected events such as meter parking, coin-operated showers, laundry, tolls etc.
  • To avoid blow-outs, tire damage and to optimize gas mileage, maintain proper tire pressure. Should be checked often.
  • Use a plug-in voltage meter to monitor amps. Despite your rig’s abilities, you can only use up to the amps available from the source.
  • Always drain the black-water holding tank first. Then drain the gray-water. This helps to clean out your hose.
  • Use your generator to operate the roof air conditioner instead of the dash A/C. It cools your rig down quicker. Your vehicle’s engine will not get so hot and it will run more efficiently.
  • Use an outside sediment water filter on any water source. 
  • Use Velcro tape for hanging and fastening things in your RV.
  • Save power by using fluorescent lights.
  • To conserve power, run the water heater only when necessary.
  • RV furnaces use a lot of power. To conserve your power supply, lower the heater temperature, wear warmer clothing and use an extra blanket.
  • Park your RV in shady locations and use your awning to keep it cooler inside.
  • Put screen wire in your rubber bumper plugs to prevent bees from nesting.
  • Fabric softener sheets placed in drawers, closets, and other strategic locations in an RV prevents musty odors and that “closed up” smell

Photo of the Day, Catherine's Landing


Surfing the web on a beautiful Arkansas morning, Catherine's Landing assistant manager - Ian loves to stay connected everywhere he goes. Coffee coupled with fresh air is the best way to kick off the day.

"The free Wi-Fi, amazing view, and the people are my favorite parts of Catherine's Landing...and did I mention the huge lake?"
