Vacationing in a travel trailer with flushing toilets, a shower and a kitchen sink adds an extra level of comfort to your excursions. Every camper reaches the point, however, when you have to flush out the black and gray tanks. Learn to properly empty and flush out your tanks with minimal splashing and get back on the road in a short time. Dump stations are available at many campgrounds and at rest areas along major highways.
Sterilize Baby Bottles While Traveling
Most parents sterilize their baby's bottle by boiling it on the kitchen stove or heating it in the dishwasher. These conveniences aren't readily available while traveling, and other sterilization equipment and techniques are needed. Baby bottles can usually be cleaned with soap and water, but if you're traveling in areas where water sources may be impure, you should sterilize the bottle to ensure germ removal. Impure water sources used to wash a baby bottle can lead to internal parasites.
Light a Gas Travel Trailer Water Heater
Travel trailers have become increasingly sophisticated since the inception of "RV camping." Whereas the first trailers were not much more than a tent on wheels, today's travel trailers are equipped with separate rooms, bathrooms, running water and air conditioning. Much of this new technology is run on electricity, which is now provided at most campgrounds. Some travel trailers, however, use propane gas, too. One typical use for propane is heating the water used for showers, cooking and other operations. Lighting the on-board travel trailer water heater may seem tricky, but it is quite simple if you follow these steps.
Run a Gas Refrigerator While Traveling in a Camper
A camper refrigerator can run from three different power sources; 120-volt electricity from a generator or a mains hook-up, 12-volt electricity from the coach system or the alternator, and propane gas, which used to be called Liquid Petroleum Gas, or LPG. It is fine to run a camper refrigerator from a generator or from the 12-volt system while traveling, but different schools of thought exist as to whether propane or gas is okay to use. No legislation exists to mandate this issue, so consider the opinions of others to arrive at an informed conclusion.
Travel Between Ireland & Scotland
If you plan to travel through the United Kingdom, you might consider visiting more than one country. Scotland and Ireland are a good combination. Fortunately, travel between these two countries is relatively easy. You just have to choose between air travel or ferry.
