incontinence/bladder control

I don't see what you have for an RV, but with a Class A or C, or B, a 5 min stop every hour certainly would not end my RV'ing, maybe an inconvenience, but not a game stopper.

I had this problem once. I thought I was just getting old, but it turned out that I was low on magnesium. Started taking magnesium and was back to normal in a couple days.

Sometimes things turn out to be simple fixes. It's worth looking into.

Only on the internet...

Had a prostate exam lately? If that closes up on you you're in big trouble.

Its OK to stop every hour or so. I don't recommend going to a Dr. I did and he nearly killed me.

1. See your doctor. There are solutions.
2. Plan your trips so you can stop every hour or so.
3. Stopping to check your rig every hour wouldn't be that big of a deal. At 68 it's time to start enjoying the simple pleasures in life. Slow down a bit.
4. Do what the truckers do...just don't toss them onto the highway..:W

We travel no more than three hours on travel days. Stay off Interstates and use State Hwys. They are almost as nice, sometimes better and small towns litter the highway making frequent stops easier. You'll see more doing it this way as well. With over 80,000 miles on our coach, it's seen maybe 10k on the Interstate....Dennis

Just stop every hour. You won't get there as quickly, but you'll get there. With an RV, you have your own facilities for that stop. You should stop often to stretch out the kinks anyway.

And do see your doctor.

There are male incontinence devices that allow one to continue to drive while emptying the bladder.

Here is one of many.

However I don't think making a stop once an hour has any impact on one's ability to carry on RVing.

I have a problem with blood clots, so my doctor has me stop after an hour of driving and walk for a while to help pump the blood out of my leg veins. This hasn't affected my ability to drive our RV. Our last RV trip was for 8 months, and we are now in our RV and plan to return home after five months.

YMMV :)

See your doctor.
