Here’s some more things that Jan and I use in our RV life.

The FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer is on of her favorites. She regularly cooks up a big batch of ground beef in her electric skillet, and then seals and freezes it in 1 pound bags. She also does the same after poaching a bunch of chicken breasts to use later for soup.

I always both of these replacement fuel filters for the Cummins 350 ISC diesel in our coach. And I’ve had to replace the 1022 fine particle filter twice while we’ve been on the road.

For the first several years we were on the road I went through several different brands of dually valve stem extensions with little luck. They would last for a couple of months and then start leaking. But I put a set of these on 4 years ago and not a leak since.

Seems like where ever we park I need to hook up a second hose to use the pressure washer or do something else. So I always install one of these before I hook up shore water. That way I’m always prepared.

Jan and I each have one of these LED rechargeable Book Lights. I use one on my laptop to see the keyboard at night.

I have this as a standby waste tank valve. If either my Black or Gray tank valves malfunctions and stays open, this one connects to the waste tank output between the rig and your sewer hose.

Everyone should have one of these Kill A Watt Electrical Monitors. It lets you check you voltage, line frequency, amps, or watts used. Know much power every appliance in your rig consumes.

Well, I was up at 4am this morning, out the door at 4:30 and on the gate by 4:50. This gate doesn’t require any logging at all. I just stop each vehicle, be sure they’re where they’re supposed to be, give them the rules, and send them on their way. So not bad.

But tomorrow back up at 4am.


Thought for the Day:
