Re: New to all this...
Battery drain. If you wish to limit generator run time, you'll need batteries and they will drain over time even when not being used. You could bring the battery home and keep it on battery tender. My fridge runs on gas but needs a spark from the battery to fire it up. Same with furnance. I stay mostly in state parks with limited genny run times (about 2 hours) which isn't enough to charge battery fully so I don't know how long it takes a genny to charge batteries fully. Also, water and sewer. You didn't ask about those but sewer is the reason I need to move the TT every once in a while.241Views0likes0CommentsRe: Strangest thing asked to borrow

With a little ingenuity, you could keep a new sailor walking from bow to stern all day. :) As former USMC and female I find this hilarious! I would have gladly given up the tubes!422Views0likes0CommentsRe: Questions about RVing
I can totally relate. A combination of dry camping and electric hook ups will definitely get you thru New England cheaper than a hotel. And knowing you have everything with you is comforting. I've found truck stops (free) and destination combos to be cost effective.458Views0likes0CommentsRe: Quickest and easiest hot wing sauce, 2 ingredients
Frank's original with melted butter. They also make a version that doesn't require the addition of butter, but I like to control how much butter is added. The amounts are listed on the bottle, I used about half the butter in the recipe and let the cooked (baked) wings soak a bit longer in the sauce.359Views0likes0CommentsRe: Erie, PA to Grand Isle State Park in Vermont
I'd go 7 to 2 and skip the whole NY side of things. I live in Vt and have stayed at Grand Isle many times. A class A will be a rarity there. There are other vt state parks along the way, check out vtstatepaeks.com and make sure you can access them because some are out of the way and 4x accessible only.389Views0likes0Comments
