End of April

End of April and back in Wyoming with snow.  Some how did not miss the snow in Texas or Florida.  Still good to be home.  

Time for our annual doctors appointments and see our kids and family.  Wyoming is always a good place to go.

Got to test our four season 5th wheel.  Temps at night ran from 10 to 25 for four nights.  Used electric for everything but the heater it was on propane.  Rig is only four season with propane.  Only problem was our kitchen sink.  The lines from our water compartment under the belly froze one night by mid afternoon the tap started running agin (we left it open after we saw it froze up.) The temperature went up to 30, so the next night we got up every few hours to run the water for 30 seconds.  So with temps in the low teens plan on doing this for your kitchen sink. 

The other lines ran through our heated underbelly which was heated along with insulated.  For outside hoses only hook up to fill and dump then un hook and put them away in a warm underbelly in a trash bag or tote.  If you forget they will be useless or break.

One 30 lb propane tank lasted us just over three days. Without electricity in the teens we suggest shutting off the kitchen water lines if you can or skirting in your rig to help keep in any heat under your RV.

35 qt portable car frig/freezer


 A while back we lost our refrigerator/freezer in our RV for about two weeks.  A fellow Rv’er helped me get it working again. In the meantime I bought this refrigerator/freezer on Amazon I had in about three days.  I ended up using it as a freezer for a month and it stayed at or below zero the whole month.  We now have it for a spare in our RV.  It also came with a 12 volt plug so we could place it in the pickup to keep it working between camp grounds if needed.  I can’t say enough good about this unit.  Now we have almost doubled or freezer capacity if we need it.
