RE: Liquid Drano
Although the piping/tanks/drain lines are made of same stuff used in S&B homes (ABS) and will not be harmed by store bought drain cleaners......the drain valve seals, waste tank seals, toilet bowl seals etc can be harmed.
The draino may clean up your tank but then you will end up having to repair/replace seals.
Proper use of water (full toilet bowl to flush solids),
proper tank draining procedures (never leaving drain valve open/dumping tank when tank is almost full),
tank rinsing (use a flushing system, flexible wash wand down toilet, refilling tank/repeat dumping),
proper tank prep after dumping (add couple gallons back into tank)...........
then you will not have problems with waste tank, odors and/or pyramids.
You could even use the GEO Method to help.......but you don't need 'draino'
X-2 on Seal damage.

RE: Sprint vs. Verizon vs. AT&T
I bought my service by asking those in the area I would use it the most.Although we are not full timers we do travel a lot.I wanted AT&t because of the lower price.But the service was terrible where my wife and I were based?I went with Verizon(based upon local input of Customers) and it works great so far.I had Sprint for many years because my job provided the phone.It was great at my job site.But terrible when I went out to Arkansas?It may differ now who knows?

RE: Dw upset
You should test everything else out as well before it goes back for repair.Run and use everything for a week!

RE: Get rid of the garage for an open bay?
Well I guess its all about getting to the dirt?Clean it out later.I like to have the option of more space but that's just my preference.I have seen a few TH that I wouldn't even take to the dirt lol. Doesn't make much sense to me but each to their own.

RE: Line-X vs Rhino Liner
You are looking at the Line-X Xtra it does not fade.As others and I have observed Line-X is harder to the touch then Rhino.I dont have preference but I did go with Line-X and I really use the back of my truck.And it has had held up great.

RE: Weight Police story.
I think most of us that did our own firewood cutting(In my younger days) can relate to being overloaded at times.I have been in Arkansas for 6months now.We are surrounded by farmland and loading up a truck to Max and over payload is just a way of life here?This is what they have to work with and they use it?

RE: Maybe I should have bought a A instead of a 5er?
Maybe one day for me and DW we would go with a class A DP.But we are not full timing yet?I still use my truck for hauling many other items/Building materials etc, so a big truck fits with my current lifestyle.And one other eason off the top of my head.A class A would be very difficult to get into many places that I boondock?I do however know one guy who takes his way off the beaten path(cant believe he does)lol?

RE: Need advice, traveling 2k miles in 5th wheel. (new to rving)
My first gut reaction was no?Reason being four small kids plus winter road conditions and limited RV experience?Thats a long trip and many things could go wrong.I have no idea what year your 5er is or the condition?It can get rather nasty on i-40 on that stretch of road(especially During December).I dont want to sound negative and I encourage RV travel to all but I would hate to see a great road trip turn out bad?

RE: Dogs Bad Breath??
We brush the Dogs teeth every morning with Dog/Pet Toothpaste.This helps a lot.Just do some research on what you give your dog, you may be surprised what can harm them?

RE: 19.5 wheels, is it an upgrade or downgrade...need advice
I dont have these tires but I have read about them on another forum.The wear is a non issue for all that I have read.The only problem they expressed because many do off roading/boondocking was that in the sand they are not able to air down like their other tire wheel combos?Not sure this holds water with all 19.5?Guy had a dually with 19,5 and goes to Pismo many times a year and said the big tires sank like a rock compared with other set?Other complaint was getting new tires out of round and having a rough ride.This is all just from my research and not my experience.I like they way they look and the wear/life.
