  1. Thanks, Kirk - I'm looking at it right now. WalMart is cheaper but 'out of stock' and I'm trying elsewhere before resorting to Amazon.
  2. Oh, I think you all have -- weight is what we were doing - a pain. Hot water is obviously one of the cheapest and maybe one of the more accurate. Looking at the ultrasound made in Germany, as long as we go with the concept it is calibrated for a 20 pounder and go from them; the little stick on gauges are easy and cheap enough as a starter..... so will probably pick a couple of these options to use. Thanks, Everyone for guiding me on my options!!!!
  3. Gotta admit I really like this - just plain old logic applied - with hot water!
  4. Ray,IN - see what you mean about confusion of application; sure looks like they are using the ultrasound on refillable tanks in the video and the array shown at the end in succession. Hmmm. Quite a span in the pricing when doing this product search, also. Chad H probably using his on a refillable tank, maybe a glitch in the German-to-English translation?! Thanks again to all who have chimed in here to give me products to research.
  5. Hi, about two years ago I was looking for husband-type Christmas gift suggestions and I believe someone (Dartmouth?) suggested a propane gauge. I found the thread, can't find the suggestion. Bought a lot of great gifts from y'all's recommendations - the AE diagnostics for the truck came in useful repeatedly, Progressive power surge protector, Hitchmate step works wonderfully, water regulator, etc. Can anyone suggest/comment on the propane gauge? Looked on line and I'm finding not much beyond a $12 Camco or Chinese gauge - and I'm guessing that's not it, but don't really know. Any help appreciated. TIA
  6. Husband just reapplied W&F to our vinyl siding on house after 3 years, and I must add we have had continuous wet weather for over a year as well as warmer-than-'average' temps that aided the growth of green mold. We were impressed it lasted 3 years on the house before needing to be reapplied. Husband washed house this time before applying W&F, but had done no prep the first time W&F was applied.
  7. Very interesting on all events. Thanks for writing that all out. Husband was groaning a bit as I was reading it aloud.
  8. Chiefneon: Wld you mind elaborating how GS was able to get away without paying a towing bill like this? Loopholes in their coverage? Husband is just about to renew with them, so am more hesitant now. Thank you.
  9. Just wanted to let Vicki know I got the folding step for the tire as suggested from Amazon.  It works well - both the truck and my SUV.  It looked well made, good welds, thick paint, came with covers so it would not scratch itself plus the carry bag.  Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

  10. Hi Glenn, this Wet and Forget is like a stain and growth (algae, mildrew, mold, moss) remover - and then it keeps the stuff from growing back as rapidly. I don't think it does a 'sealing', but it may help make washings easier on a trailer roof, maybe less frequent washings, and most likely less scrubbing when it comes to those black blotchy patches we get on EPDM. I'm encouraged others have found this product long before I and continue to use it effectively. We just need a test roof w/before and after pictures! I'm guessing it would be fine on Dicor caulk and I think I'm going to try some on the caulk on one of our trailers, which would be more pleasant than turpentine, although the turp works really great w/ great whitening powers. It just MIGHT, "MIGHT" stop caulk from streaking, just like we won't know unless we try if the chalking MIGHT stop on the EPDM. Okay, are there any chemists out there, we could use one to jump in here, please!
  11. jpcoll01 Impressed with what you do for home maintenance and very encouraged with your results. So, do you want to be a test roof for the Escapees and Wet & Forget?!!! Uh, I'm half joking. Anyone brave enough to do a test patch on an EPDM roof on a no-longer-used trailer? Thanks for your comments.
  12. ms60ocb That's good news from you since you have been using W&F much longer than we with positive results. I was thinking about the same: if only someone had an old trailer parked and would do a test patch for the club. Perhaps I should have posted this under General rather than Housekeeping to begin. I think there would be a ton of happy campers out there if this stuff could be sprayed on the roof,say once a year, and it did the battle of the mold/mildew/algae, even if one still had to rinse the road grime from time to time. As the one writer mentioned, the roof will still chalk. Thanks for the tombstone application idea, as we have our pet cemetery here at home - and under pines, the granite is green. I was told to use vinegar and water solution, but no more effective than soap and water. Thanks for adding to the conversation.
  13. Hi Ray, We're not full-timers yet, and I know I don't get out there and wash the trailer often enough, and I really don't feeling comfy walking on the rubber roof(my quirk) -- hence, it doesn't get washed as it should. This W &F product gets re-activated by moisture/rain. We remain amazed how algae-free our house is, as we are experiencing one of the rainiest spring-summer seasons in a long time; everything is staying soaked, windows fogged up day and night. I have not been able to get an answer from the manufacturer to date about EPDM. Every Spring or Fall my husband would be on a two-story ladder with bleach/soap/water/brush/hose scrubbing the house, It's been months and not a speck of green has returned. If we can spray once a year, we'll be delighted.... and that's what I was hoping about the EPDM roof. Thanks for jumping into this topic.
  14. We were thinking of it for the roof since it acts on mold, algae - but not on 'dirt'. Some people felt it should clean the dirt on their home and rated it one star because it did not work for them. We actually had the chemical stored since last year - never got around to using it, so wondered about the expiration of the it, but no, no problem. You put it on a dry surface (no dew, nada) and let the rain activate it. You do not have to wash the surface first - and we had plenty of pollen on top of the mold, a real mess. We saw the green mold on our vinyl house start to go into little balls and it took a few rains from various directions to get under the eves, etc. but - tada! it is all gone, and we're believers in this stuff. So now we wonder, will it stave off mildew, mold, etc. on EPDM roofing, spray it off before it starts? Would be great if you just sprayed this stuff on once a year and didn't worry about black blotches appearing on the rubber.
