Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos

Another member suggested a new forum section with new products but it doesn't look like it will be feasible. So I thought I would post this here under General RVing Issues. If enough people post (even if you have mentioned it before in another post) we can keep it near the top?

Do you have a handy hint, a new product or an old product that makes your RVing or Camping much better?

(Sorry, no commercial advertising allowed)

I'll start:

Someone in the Camping Van posted a reference to using a Super-Chamois to wipe down their shower. I have been using an icky old thick sponge and I like the chamois idea so much more.

Now I want to hear what works for you

Don't worry....... You aren't missing anything and you aren't doing anything wrong....Pkunk is correct.... the difference is in how many posts you choose to view at a time. The options are 10 or 20 per page.

I don't know if everyone accesses their preferences in the same way but I just checked mine by going to: "my forums" then to "my preferences". You then scroll down the page until you get to "Posts per page".

I'm going to bet that those of you who only see 48 pages have your setting at 20 per page. Those set to 10 per page will see 96.

I am going in through the RV.net portal and I jumped around and all 96 pages seem to be there.

I wonder if you go from the newest backwards if you can pick up the other 48.

There's only 48 for me too. It depends on the size of your page in your preferences.

This is such a great thread, I don't want to miss a thing. But for some reason I'm only getting to page 48 of the 96, the rest seem to have disappeared. What am I doing wrong? Where have they gone? I just know I'm missing something!

Probably already posted, but I got the big step for under my Toyhauler step yesterday. After watching my Mom almost hit the dirt, decided that it would help. It has so far.

After numerous long nights, I just finished all 96 pages to date. As newbies we need & can use alot of these tips. Have already been searching Wally world & the lumber store for items to make these tips a reality. Thanks so much to all who contribute, & hopefully I will have some to share in the future. Can't wait for the ice & snow to melt so I can get into the TH to tinker. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
