Finding propane refills
I just wanted to throw this out there for the use of the community. I've been a fulltime RVer since 2006 and always hate it when I run out of propane in a strange location. Prices can vary widely in a small area. So I created a website that shows bulk propane refill stations (anyone can find and get ripped off by a tank exchange place) either in a map based on your location or a list based on a zip code you input. I'm always looking for new inputs - either refill stations or updated prices and there are processes for that on the website. For the mods or admins: This is a free website. There's not even any ads. Just a service for the RV community.107Views3likes4CommentsHomework BEFORE shopping
Twice in the last 6 weeks I've purchased accessories at CW. Both times their online advertised price was lower than the in store price. The first purchase was for an antenna so I researched that beforehand and saved about $60 by showing their website advertised price. The second purchase was an impulse buy. The only reason I discovered the second lower price was because another member claimed that GS member discounts were now honored only for online purchases. That was incorrect. GS member discounts no longer exist. I could understand how a store would price match someone else's price but making the customer do the work to price match their own price is ridiculous. Neither item said anything about online only price when I checked them.867Views0likes3CommentsRe: Black Tank Treatments - Yay or Nay?
Everything has a measurable impact on water supply. Letting the water run while brushing your teeth, using an irrigation system on your lawn that floods the street, and yes, black tank flushing. While each of these has minimal impact, add them all up (plus the hundreds of other ways we waste water) and you make a difference. It's the same principle as backpackers drilling holes in their toothbrush handles. Grams make ounces and ounces make pounds. The attitude of 'if it doesn't make a major difference, it doesn't matter' is self defeating. way2roll wrote: Are you guys seriously trying to say that RV black tanks have any measurable impacts to water supply and demand and droughts?

I sent the PM earlier today. When can I expect a response to that? Good Sam Care Team wrote: Hello, Thank you for your time and post. We apologize for the experience you have had at Camping World.

Try comprehending this. Assuming that the amount of water on the planet never changes, there is a huge difference between 10,000 nomadic peole using water to drink and bathe, and 8 billion mostly stationary people using water for unnatural landscaping (lawns), washing cars, water fountains, water parks, swimming pools, manufacturing, farming. etc, etc, etc. You can't put that much stress on the finite water supply without consequences.

You do understand that the amount of water on this planet has NEVER changed?????? Best go back to the Cave. YES it's true. Not sure how you can be serious about that statement Cummins. The comment about population growth and drought (especially in the US Southwest and Colorado river drainage) are spot on. Or you can bury your head in the sand and not acknowledge the fact of a 20 year drought. WHY do people never READ what I say??? On edit, Comprehend What I Say??? Water volume on this planer has never changed. Are you disagreeing with me, I don't see you doing so. So read my words, do you think there is a water shortage in the Coachella Valley, CA?1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Black Tank Treatments - Yay or Nay?

I consider myself an experienced RV guy and used to belong to the water, water, water crowd but that doesn't mean I have to continue on that path. After reading about various water shortages across the country, I'm perfectly happy with using a probiotic in the tank and conserving water. cummins2014 wrote: Cummins12V98 wrote: pbeverly wrote: nickthehunter wrote: Calcium Nitrate is the chemical often used in black tank treatments. It is also used in wastewater treatment plants for among other things - guess what - odor control. It does not kill the bacteria beneficial to breaking down waste. The perfume smelly additives are generally organic citrus products and similarly harmless. Use the stuff if you want, or not, whatever floats your boat. RVs have holding tanks not septic systems. The holding tanks aren't designed for decomposition as nothing stays there that long. ZACTLY!!! This is quite a funny debate ,as we experienced RV guys know , water ,water ,water .I have used those drop in packets off ,and on for years. They make little difference , if any .985Views0likes0Comments
