RV HELPS
I am wanting to start a thread showing pictures of ideas that have made RV life easier for me.
But first I am trying to show a picture of my RV to make sure that I can attach a picture
Well some how I only got a Square with an X in it the first try.
Found out the problem, it was a computer setting problem, so now I can see the picture too. In the future want to add pictures with comments on things that have made RVing easier for me.
I would encourage other members to add there ideas and pictures.
HERE is first idea. You will notice a shut off valve on the end of the hose, and this is how I use it. Connect hose to park faucet with shut of valve "off". Turn on water then open shut off valve to let air out of line then turn off. Connect valve to RV and turn on, no more air in lines. To disconnect shut faucet and shut off valve off. disconnect from RV, then open shut off valve to let pressure off, and no more shower all over you.
Second idea. The first time you unhook your 5th wheel get a clothes pin, a piece of line and a weight. Clip to pin box and adjust line so that weight just touches ground. When you are ready to hook up adjust trailer height so that weight just touches ground, and no more guessing about height of pin box to hitch.
Third Idea. I put a bent alum bar on the front of the hitch plate about 3 inches from the plate. Then put a piece of tape in the center of rear window. Look in the rear view mirror and line up the tape, the bent bar, and the hitch pin when backing. 99% of the time you will right on.(White rectangle in window is tape on the inside)
