  1. Is there a listing anywhere of the locations of these places? I'm happy to preplan my fuel stops on trips to places I have not been, but the few guides I have seen with "RV-Friendly" notes have been unreliable for big-rig gasoline.
  2. Access to gasoline has been a problem for me while towing my car trailer with my Super-C. I'm so tired of hearing truck-stop people tell me "it's out front for the cars". I want to start a database of places where one can get gasoline as easily as diesel. If there is already such a database, please point me to it! At least I know that I can get gasoline at the Stockman's Truck Stop just off I-494 in South Saint Paul Minnesota.
  3. We had a great experience with The Original Mattress Factory for our short queen innerspring. Only 50 bucks extra for the custom size. No extra charge for the "hinge", which is not detectable when you are sleeping on it, but allows you to fold the mattress top to bottom for ease of entry to the MH, and is also a help when you flip the mattress. The hinge was a no-charge extra on the queen, but the salesman said they routinely include it on king.
  4. Absolutely nothing wrong with camping out in a tent, if that's what you are into. But it is not the same as living in an RV. If one is planning on living in a tent, as was stated in the original post, one is better-advised to spend one's Internet time on tent-camping fora.
  5. Just curious. Why does a tent-camper post on an RV forum?
  6. Does is make sense to drain the water tank and then put a few gallons of RV stuff in the water tank and do all the flushing from there? I would plan on sanitizing the system in the spring, as i have not sanitized it since I bought it. Other than draining the water heater, what possible things are there to avoid forgetting? Thetford toilet has no trap, so water heater and the traps in the two sinks and the shower/tub seem to be all to worry about. I assume that having RV antifreeze in the water tank, the blackwater tank and the greywater tank all winter will be OK.
  7. New to RV in Minnesota. I plan on putting the RV antifreeze everywhere there could possibly be water. Is that really all there is to it? I guess I don't now why folks would spend 100 bucks to have a pro do this. What could I miss that would make me regret later that I did it myself?
  8. Are you in Saint Paul?  I live on the West Side.
