Camper Hacks - Love to hear your solutions
Very curious to hear folks camping hacks. Hacks meaning a creative low cost solution for problems or situations that arise during camping. I have mentioned a few that I have adopted from other folks...

Two of my favorites.
Often when I’m traveling I’ll put a can of chili or stew on the top of my engine. When I stop for lunch it’s all warmed up and ready to eat.
Did you ever have problems with a failing lift gate support? Take off the support and cut a piece of PVC pipe to fit the opened gap. Reinstall the support and use the PVC to hold it open. When not in use the pipe slides down the support for storage.
Some food for thought:
A guy gets a flat tire in front of the local insane asylum. As he’s taking off the flat tire to mount the spare he notices a fellow watching him from the other side of the asylum fence. About this time he stumbles and drops all his lug nuts down a very deep sewer drain! He stands for a minute wondering what to do when the watcher says “Why don’t you take a lug nut off each of your other three wheels. Three lug nuts will hold your wheel on long enough to get you to a service station.” The man looks at him and says “You’re right, what a great idea! But what are you doing in an insane asylum?” The man looks back and says “Just because I’m crazy doesn’t mean I’m stupid!”
What I'm trying to say is that I could go on and on about helpful things I've learned through the years, often times from people who otherwise didn't seem very bright. Keep an open mind and never stop learning!
