Not that any of this is mind-blowing, but I ran across this website that had some unique things I hadn't considered before. Enjoy!

My Dad built a set of bunks like that for his 65 chevy van when we moved back to the continental US from Alaska in 68. They were plywood and hung from chains. I slept over the cab, like the one shown here, my sister slept just behind the front seats. Mom & dad slept on a dinette unit Dad made in the back.

We camped from Western Canada to the Dakotas until there was an issue with a defective propane bottle in a portable heater. Mom got burned, the van didn't, but we never camped in it again either.

It is nerd talk for a creative solution to a computer problem, a work around. The word is now migrating into other venues meaning 'a solution to a problem'.
Build a life you don't need a vacation from.

I wonder if the flea collars would work to keep the wasps out of the gray/black tank vents if you strapped them on just below the cap?

The trash can looks interesting. I wonder how much weight it can hold. Thanks for the post.

I love the hints....some we had figured out, some are new. We've looked since last year for the neon or glow in the dark tape!!!! Does anyone know where we can get it?

thanks for the tips!

AMAZON.COM for the tape and for glow in the dark paint.
Some Home Depots have glow in the dark paint.
I think paint better than tape as I do not see waterproof tape
