What do you use now? You’ll use them in the RV. For real. We lived in: Our cooking is identical no matter what our house looks like. To figure it out: pack everything up now, but label the boxes well. When you need something, go get that one thing out and make note of how […]

RVers are pretty evenly split between driving with propane on and not driving with propane on. Often the discussion gets highly contentious. The concern is that in the event of a propane leak (hose gets broken in some way) that there’s the potential for a fire/explosion if a spark is involved. The counter to that […]
