Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos

[GizmosMom]

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

If someone gets hold of that phone, they'll have access to all that information about you.

I probably missed this but here are a couple tips. Use your phone to take pictures of your VIN, your license plate, your driver's license and any medications you have. Really the list is endless.

Good idea. I use mine to take pictures of my parking spot at the airport and such, but hadn't thought about recording the vin numbers.

I don't know if my phone lens is wide angle enough to get all my meds in one picture. 🙂

Does anyone use any apps for finding campgrounds etc. I came across the Allstay app, wondered if anyone could provide any feedback.

Thanks,
Nerissa

I use Allstay and RVParkReview.com

Good points; I've used mine for recording a fender bender-pictures remove all dough

Welcome to the forum!

On my Android phone, I have the RVParky, Good Sam, KOA, and Passport America apps. All have been useful at times.

To get wet wood to light in the camp fire I use disposable LP canisters on my blowtorch.

Happy Camping

This works for me, hope this works for you too...

Hi,

This is actually a "using this forum" question. How do you jump to a particular page of a thread?

I started reading this great thread with all the tips and suggestion, but at the 165 pages that it's at now, I can't read them all at one sitting. How do I jump to page 52, for example?

Thanks,

Ken

Nice mods (with pics and sources):
All fall into one or more of the (this) thread categories!

Exterior connection for 20 amp CG pedestal, interior LED lighting, fans for refrigerator cooling fins, and lighted rocker switches - by "shadows4" posted in 5th wheel forum - but all apply to other types of RVs, and worth linking here.

Good stuff!
