I wonder if you'd contact Escapees they could help.

I don't understand what testing yourself would accomplish. If you have trouble seeing then go to a professional.

I never have to re-login. It stays the way it is.

It's meant for deodorizing a wood board. You still should wash it. It's best to keep 2 boards - one for meats and one for anything else. https://www.thecleaningauthority.com/blog/how-to-clean/cutting-board-cleaning-hacks/

Labradoodles don't shed which is a plus for RVing. Very nice photos Vladimir!! Cute pup.

$10,000 spent on a dog? Amazing!! Have you tried to find a more reasonable vet? A couple friends have Labradoodles. They are absolute awesome! Smart, calm, friendly.

I've never seen anything like that! So.... if the speed limit is 75 than you can go 75 through construction? I doubt it!!!

Nope. Excerpt: "the Biden administration gave all government agency staff 30 days to delete TikTok from federal devices and systems over data security concerns." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tiktok-banned-us-government-where-else-around-the-world/

You can have lots of stuff done for boondocking at Quartzsite while you're there!!

I just did a quick Google on 'The Great River Road' and this & others appeared which may help. Looks like you can even get a travel map for it. https://experiencemississippiriver.com/the-great-river-road-the-best-drive-in-america/

Yes, that's commonly called 'dry camping'. I was referring to true boondocking in the boonies.

If boondocking you wouldn't have a place to dump your portable tank. You don't just dump it on the ground!

You might want to consider a small Class C motorhome or a Class B. Then you wouldn't really need a car and you could easily drive from place to place yourself. Do you know that your present car needs to be towed on a dolly? Many do not. You can just use a tow bar behind the motorhome. . easier than a dolly. However, even if you used a dolly and you only move 2-3x/year that's not a big deal. I'm sure you could have someone from the RV park help you with the dolly if that would be an issue.

So... only laundry water goes in the 3rd tank? That wouldn't help when boondocking and not doing laundry since no hookups. What is the capacity of the actual sink/shower grey?

We could go 2 weeks on our tanks but we didn't do dishes every day. Wiped them with a used paper towel or napkins & put them out of sight in the dishpan under the sink. Wiped out the fry pan & veggie pot with a clean, damp paper towel and reused them. When doing dishes 1/2 dishpan of water was plenty since the dishes looked clean to begin with. The dishpan water was used for flushing the toilet. Never leave water run needlessly.... on/off. Navy showers only and not every day. Our 300w of solar in the Western sun allowed us to go indefinitely. Of course, we didn't watch TV.... read or were outside doing things instead. Conservation is the key. EDIT: I just looked up your tank sizes & if true you have 54 gal fresh; 118 gray; 43 black I wonder why they did the grey as the biggest. It should be the fresh. Strange. We had 105 fresh; 65 grey; 45 black

I'm glad you're OK now but if it happens again get yourself to the ER. I don't want to alarm you but a dear acquaintance had the exact same issues with very sudden overly high BP and excruciating headache and he had a cerebral hemorrhage and hasn't been the same since. 😞 His BP was always normal. Years ago there was a big push on taking a daily baby aspirin to prevent a heart attack. He took one daily for years and docs attributed it to weakening a blood vessel and he had a brain bleed. Sorry... I don't want to alarm you but it just struck a nerve of remembrance.

What did your doctor say about the sudden spike in blood pressure? Did you have and scans to see what the issue is? Please don't let it go as it could be serious.

Here's a good one that I just read today. Motorcyclist approached Titus Canyon Road in Death Valley which was barricaded and closed from recent flooding. His mapping app said it was open so he went around the barricades and eventually got marooned and had to have a helicopter rescue! https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2023/11/motorcyclists-rescued-after-driving-closed-titus-canyon-road-due-incorrect-map-app

We've done that when volunteering at national parks. They were also given a hefty fine.

When the road turned to gravel they should have turned around right there. Folks nowadays don't carry maps .... probably because they can't read them.

The brokers selling Advantage plans are making a good salary that's why they are being pushed so aggressively.

Think about this..... have you ever read on a forum or heard elsewhere that 'it was proven' that people got sick from drinking water from their tanks or getting bad water? I haven't. Parks - private, national, state are not going to risk huge lawsuits because of not having safe water for the RVers. Having volunteered in national and state parks I know the water is tested regularly. Now... if you use water from the side of a fuel station or similar I wouldn't rely on it being tested continuously. Just use common sense on where you get your water and you'll be just fine.

How do you own a RV without a driver's license?

My best to both of you. Yes, it's difficult but I think we all knew it wouldn't last forever. You've made good contributions to this forum.
