Friends have a Jayco with floor vents, and multiple yellow labs. Fur and dirt gets everywhere! We had 2 dogs that shed quite a bit. This 'fix' kept the hair out of the floor vents! I was amazed at how well it works. Sadly both of our precious furboys passed away this summer. Hope this works as good for your friend.501Views0likes0CommentsAn answer to a question please?
Our friends just bought a 40 foot motor home, planning to travel a large part of the year. The motor home has a residential refrigerator, does this mean it will ONLY run when plugged in to electricity at a campground? If so, how does the fridge run if you are going down the road? This also crosses out any boondocking? Thank you for your help, Okie5.6KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Handy Hints, Gadgets, Products & Gizmos

So i took a 2 litre soda bottle washed it out, cut the top and bottom off to make a tube, then cut the tube lengthwise, viola! Instant paper towel clamp... Neat idea! We use a rubber band... ;) I just stick a safety pin (through few sheets) in the middle of the roll, no unrolling. I have a magnet on the side of the holder for the pin while we are in camp. Also do the same for the toilet paper.365Views0likes0CommentsRe: What kind of RVer are you
We are weekenders with 2 one week long trips a year. As often as we can, it's Friday - Sunday to the lakes. But not all weekends, and not as often as we would like to go.... I am still working so we are grounded most of the time. Plus Camping Season is short here.... Okie229Views0likes0CommentsRe: Wyoming/Colorado weather in Oct.
We have lived here for 17 years and found we can have warm, beautiful weather, or a blizzard with high winds. There is no "regular" weather here in that time frame. We keep an eye on the forecasts and hope for the best. Early winter or Late autumn, just never know... I'm sorry I am not much help - it is so unpredictable. Okie380Views0likes0Comments
