    A generic version of damp rid is available at Dollar Tree https://www.dollartree.com/bulk/Moisture--Absorber for a $1.00 per container.  I buy them by the case when I can find them and use them in my front load washing machine and dishwasher dish drawer.  They work great to keep it dry and odor free.  In especially humid areas I put one in the water closet and shower stall to keep them fresh. They may help with your clothing but you just need to make sure they stay upright so the water collected doesn't spill on your clothes.

    Moldy smell often is an indication of high humidity or water. Also temperature changes will make clothes smell that way.

    So we too use DampRid (need to replace crystals, though runtime up to 60 days, according to source and our experiences - previously we used it in my father's boat) when we're in such areas with high humidity levels (especially humid deep South), since I'd prefer too over-dry my vehicle than to deal with mold. As another rule - not to collect too many clothes. We store all our clothes inside the RV, and if it won't fit inside, we get rid of it. Vacuum bags or plastic bins that seal tightly are the best bet for storage in bays.

  2. For spices, we have the IKEA drawer organizer and canisters in a cabinet, they're a good size. Keeping them in a cool, dark place preserves the flavor & intensity longer. I buy bulk and keep the extra that won't fit in the shakey bottle in a zip loc.

    Several years ago I bought a three-pack of Rescue Tape (red, clear, black) and have used maybe 1/3 of each. When used as designed it works well.

    Twice that. I keep it in the bike and the RV, and certainly I would buy more (even though it did not perform too well on my house plumbing). Had a leakage in our home in march, used 2 rolls and wrapped it twice, pipe still leaked. Effectively fixed a garden hose though.

    Anyone else have any problems with the burner tubes? Seems like I have gone thru several,. I use the grill a lot and clean the sides often but not after every use.

    thanks, jim

    Jim, what's wrong with them? I'd be glad to help.

    I agree with Kirk W about under sink water filter. We have been used our filter for 3 years already. It was iSpring RCC7. Now want to change on Hansing Under Sink Water Filter. Our friends’re using this one. I searched the internet the information about it and  other models and found this page with rating of water filter.

    What do you think, maybe it would be better to choose the other one?

    I don't trust bottled water from unknown sources, so we filter the water from the regularly tested campground supplies to top off our fresh tank as needed. Our primary filtering is for sediment and chlorine taste removal, with secondary point of use drinking water filtering for lead, microbiological cysts, pharmaceutical traces, etc. The primary filter is a whole house housing with a Culligan D-20a filter rated for 1,000 gallons or one year, and our secondary filter is a PUR - the same as Dutch mentioned - rated for 100 gallons.
