An interesting website which shows signs and a bit of history about our Somewhere RV Park Location, which used to be the old

RV Roof repairs. Click on photos to left and review. RV Doctor: "One of the unique things about the product is that it is
very easy to use, very clean and it won't run down the sides of the trailer. It dries to a smooth beautiful finish. On a metal
roof it will quiet the roof and reduce the heat in the interior. It is very easy to make spot repairs on metal roofs and an
excellent product to seal vents and pipes.

Some Helpful RV tips from experienced RVrs and RV Repair folks:
- Awning: When setting up the awning on your RV make sure to keep one end lower than the other. This will let any water
that accumulates run off. Even if it is not raining you can still get water build up from morning dew or condensation drip
from your roof AC. - Septic Gauges & Black Water Tank: If your black tank has solid deposits in the bottom, it diminishes the total capacity of
the tank (and smells even worse than usual!) Before going to the RV specialist to have the tank removed and cleaned, try
this: Dump a 5 lb bag of CRUSHED ice down the toilet. Add a little bit of water and go for a drive. The ice will act as an
abrasive and may save you a costly tank removal! - Cleaning/Draining Septic Tanks: When draining the waste tanks, always drain the black (toilet) tank first. When it is
done close the valve and drain the gray (sink and shower) tank. This will clean out the black water from the hose. You will
still need to rinse the hose with fresh water, but you won´t be dealing with the black water! - Chemical Additives: When adding chemicals to your waste tanks, be careful not to use any product that has
formaldehyde. In order for your tanks to work properly they need to have bacteria in them to help dissolve the waste.
Formaldehyde kills these beneficial bacteria. It is also detrimental to the septic systems that you dump your tanks into. If a
park septic tank is contaminated with too much formaldehyde due to campers dumping their tanks the park owners may be
forced to have the tank pumped and cleaned; a very expensive operation. - Bad Smell: Do you get a REALLY bad sewer smell after the RV sits for a time? It may be possible that the toilet valve
doesn´t seal completely letting sewer gasses escape the tank. To test for this problem, fill the bowl with water and let it sit. If
the water drains out the valve is not sealing completely. One way to solve this problem is to put a light coating of waterproof
grease or Vaseline on the seal. - Don't waste $ on expensive RV Toilet Paper! Usually this is more expensive than regular toilet paper and may not be
needed. To check if your TP is OK to use in your RV, put one square of it in a glass of water. It should begin to dissolve
quickly. If it does it is OK. Look for toilet paper in the store that says it is OK for all septic systems. Usually the cheapy TP is
the best. - Fresh Water - Cleaning Your System: (1) Fill the water tanks 1/2 full. (2) Add a solution of 1/4 cup bleach and 1 gallon
water for every 15 gallons tank capacity. (3) Open all the faucets until the all air has been removed from the system and
the solution has filled the water system. (4) Let the unit sit for 3-5 hours. (5) Drain the water system and refill with fresh
water. (6) Run the fresh water through all faucets and drain the system again. (7) Refill with fresh water OR if RV will not
be in use for some time, leave the system empty and drain to prevent the build-up of microorganisms. This will also prevent
pipes bursting if the weather freezes.
- Dry Rot? Inspect your RV Regularly! (1) On the outside, look for irregularities around window and door frames. If you
have screws that won't stay tight you may have a problem. If the screws are rusted or corroded you DO have a problem
and it's a good indication of dry rot. (2) A day or two after you've washed your RV or after a rain storm check along the
bottom edges. If it is still wet you probably have a leak. Check it out. (3) On the inside, look for water marks on the ceiling
especially around roof vents. Remove the vent flanges and air conditioner shrouds and look for discoloration in the wood.
That's a sure sign of a leak and possible dry rot. (4) Check around the windows. Look for discoloration, softness of the
paneling and loose screws. - Propane Switch: Don't count on the automated switching between 2 tanks. Experienced RVrs have learned the hard way
now NOT to run out of propane. (1) Only use 1 tank at a time and always have a full spare to switch to when that tank is
empty (or very low). (2) As soon as you know you are getting really low on the tank you are using; switch to your full tank.
(3) Refill the empty tank as soon as possible. (4) In case of emergencies; you can use your BBQ spare tank to get you
through a tough spot (as long as you remember to keep it full too!)
