Cold Water Trickle from Shower Head

When we shower, we push the button on the top of the shower head to decrease the water flow while we soap up. There is a trickle of cold water & when we turn the water back on to rinse, the water is always very cold for several seconds. This has happened with all of our campers. Does anyone know why th...

Aloha everyone...I have a very peculiar situation to query you with: I live in Hawaii, and am preparing to purchase an RV to full-time in the continental US. My question is this, which state or states allow you to register your rig without having to be a resident! Mahalo for any and all information.

My husband and I were fulltimers for 8 years. We started in 2009 but were stationary that year due to still being employed. We retired and hit the road in February 2010. We came off the road fulltime in December 2016 when we bought a house. Below are things to think about..... from our experience. ...

Under the bed storage
(closed)
(Preview)
I'd love to know how others manage the under-the-bed storage area. I know I'm wasting a lot of space. When we live in it full-time, we may need to replace the mattress with something more substantial and wonder if that would make it very difficult to get to the storage area under it.

Full Time Travails

So today we made a 5 hour move from Illinois to Minnesota. When we arrived in MN it was raining cats and dogs. Got out, got good and wet, then came inside and took a hot shower. No doubt, this was the worst arrival we have had in our two years of full timing. But, now that I think about it ... if this is the wo...

This makes me a little nervous -- but then so did driving a 40' Class A until I did it a coulple of times. We are considering taking classes, going to the range and getting up to speed again on owning and using a gun. How many of you have one and why? Is it something you would recommend?

The Dental Saga Continues

Let me apologize for the rant but I have to say the part I hate most about living on the road is getting decent dental care. Lee even says if we could figure out how we would swing by New Hampshire every year just for that but with our travel plans that's really not possible. The last time I talked about this...

Full Timers mind set
(Preview)
Been full time for 10 months now and I've been reflecting on the advice that full timers should attempt to avoid the mind set of "being in vacation mode". It's a worthy observation, but for us, it's not like that. We travel because we want to see things and explore places ... you know, like a vacation. ...

A question and potentially provocation for the experienced full-timers! How do you deal with the challenges of two (or more) people living in a couple hundred square feet when the weather outside is challenging?
