Newbie Questions
Hi Folks! Newbie from Vancouver Island looking for help with my novice questions, as well as hints and sound advice, from the more experienced.
With a great deal of persuasion from the Wife, I have now dipped my toe's into the world of Rv'ing with a motorhome. I've owned a truck camper for near twenty years, but this Class C unit is a whole other ball of wax.
I have already read the manuals for the on-board equipment, and tried my hand at operating them..so far so good..least it didn't blow up!:) Since winter temps often drop below freezing in my neck of the woods, I have recently worked on winterizing the unit, and hope I did it all correctly.
With Christmas approaching rapidly, I suggested to my wifey that perhaps instead of socks and underwear, or perfume and a new nighty, we should buy ourselves some accessories for the RV. She seemed very receptive to the idea! Trouble is, I have no idea what to get.
I saw this thing called a Sewer Slinky, which is used for under the sewer hose. It seems like a practical idea, but do they actually work, and are they really needed? Is one type better than another?
After my Wife drove the unit a few times, she felt a back up camera would be quite practical. The Class C rental that I had for a short holiday had this feature, and it was pretty handy. Is there some models I should beware of, others that you could recommend? (I have already been told to forget the license plate frame type.)
Other suggestions are most appreciated, as to the practical things we would make use of in our future travels.
