Ah that's so smart! Literally right before I read your post I was thinking "I wonder if there's a temperature sensor that can alert people if it gets too hot (or cold)..." Will buy...have a dog and fish that will be full timing with me and my family!

Hello thanks for your response...Im a believer in if there's a will there's a way-and that being positive allows you to see all possibilities while doubting yourself shuts you down from everything but worries or what ifs that arnt even here in the now but things that can be overcome if you can take things one step at a time; locking you into nothing better than what you have..not everyone shares that philosophy but hey to each their own. I typically lower the water line to a couple inches if I'm moving the tank which lately I've had to do quite a bit; it works fine and tank life is good. Just wanted to hear if other people had experience with it and any tips and tricks they learned. We just have a betta and some snails. I have a glass lid that goes on top to keep from splashing, getting an in water filter, and replacing sand with gravel so it does not swish during travel. Ok then-am looking into places with full hookup if I have to til the pandemic clears up-was curious on experiences people are having with showers outside of that though since we wanted to do some sight seeing on weekends mostly. Interesting you mention winter being harsh here lol...I just came from Michigan (I've lived in Oregon for a few years before as well along the coast); this isn't much of a brutal winter if you ask me-it's usually warm enough to rain instead of snow most winter atleast where I've stayed-...a single small space heater keep an entire small 2 bdrm house decently warm from freezing temp. I didn't mention boon docking; that isn't the plan for now but will likely get a diesel heater if I desire that in future!

Elo there, have lived in a motorhome for some months at a time in my life but recently moved to Oregon with my family; initially planning to stay in an apartment (though i hate the idea of signing away months or years of my life to one area when I'm not sure where exactly I want to be right now; shouldn't it just feel right if you've found it and feel like home? I dislike literally throwing away around 1500 a month in rent but I think I won my husband over to switching to fulltime RVing. Just bought a new truck and getting a fifth wheel or camper soon. I am excited; wanting to get something a little outdated but solid bones that we can renovate and live in for awhile while I build up more savings and credit for business plans in future! Then will sell the renovated camper and get an airstream beyond that. Anyway; I want the RV for freedom and fun times. At this point we all want to do some adventuring (me, my husband, 8 year old girl, and dog.) I am having visions of the beautiful places we will venture to and sleep. Quick questions though; hopefully someone has time to answer. Are showers easy to come by still even during the pandemic? Is a small fish tank in a camper doable-anyone does this?
