Small RV-sized Brita Water Filter Pitchers for fresh water all the time
By Cheri Sicard
I had been happily using a Brita Water Filter Pitcher in my sticks-and-bricks homes for decades, but I had always found them at Costco and they were LARGE. Those pitchers always took up too much real estate in my RV refrigerator, so since I have been on the road I had kind of forgotten about my Brita Water Filter Pitcher. I discovered that Brita does in fact make a smaller 6-cup water filter pitcher (the one I have). In fact, they make even a smaller, 5-cup water filter pitcher! Learn more about Brita’s smaller-sized water filter pitchers.
Best hose quick connectors for no leaks
By Nanci Dixon
We travel a lot in the RV and if we have a park water hookup we will usually connect to water. Quick connectors make it so much quicker… except when they don’t. And when they don’t, they leak. Having RV’d for so many years, we seem to have acquired a collection. A collection of different brands, different sizes and different materials. Mixing and matching does not work on hose connectors! Discover Nanci’s best hose quick connector choices here.
