Keeping the candle burning in the Window

The Candle burns little bit brighter as I noticed some small producers have moved to Facebook, like this one. Maybe with younger owners 5th wheelers become more viable

It's better to see the dirt and clean it than not to see it and let it hide.

Yeah, I agree with you. Anyone here can come to either my home or TT and see that I keep it clean. :)

Our normal camp site for our family boondocker has a stretch of road that I shift to 4LO to cross. I don't =need= to do this, but it's just a lot easier to do so. Total, for this site, is about 8 miles of dirt, but I'm not averse to a much longer drive on dirt, if the road's not too bad.

IKEA look goes with a lot of light, notice the big windows on that 5ver? They love the airy look here and they seemingly constantly move around.

Boy, I bet K&N don't sell many filters over there. LOL

I would have to pull two of those just to get the dishes and groceries we carry to the camping spot. I guess we would have to just sit on the ground because there appears to be hardly any storage outside either for anything.

Quite a fair bit inside the 5ver, underneath the dinette and outside through the tunnels

It's funny how big you can make things look in Pano mode in a video.....Now which little cubby hole did I put my satellite dish?:h

I like the fact that there's 140w solar STANDARD, FROM THE FACTORY! I still can't figure out why ONE company here doesn't offer an "off-grid" or "boondock" package, with factory-installed solar and extra batteries; maybe even larger holding tanks. I know, I know; got some bad weed years ago and it still causes flights of fancy...

Thanks , Lyle. Most people here would take this on graded dirt roads( reason for the shiny walls, to easily clean the unit) as well as normal roads

I can't believe you all think that those white walls, white counters, and white trim is still going to look white in a few years. Get a few months of cooking and living in there and check out how white everything remains. It doesn't look too bad, not my cup o' tea, but doesn't really seem practical to me to try and keep it looking nice with all those light colors.

They are easy to clean, that is why they are white. Fine dust is a major problem on Aussie dirt roads

I'm pretty sure they're easy to clean, but my point was there's so much of it, including the ceiling. Who is going to take the time to clean all of that all the time?

Shouldn't matter what color the interior is. It either needs cleaning or it doesn't. Sounds like if it's a darker wood color it won't need cleaning as often because you won't see the dirt as easy even though it's just as dirty. Hmmm.

White is nice but it can look and feel (mentally) cold in the Northern winter when its well below freezing.

Are you going to walk behind the person who comes in with dirty hands and clean those hand prints? :) How about the smudges on the wall behind where people sit at the dinette and lean their heads back.

To me white walls, ceilings, and counters are like white rugs. Look good, but highly impractical.
