New and improved Dump Buddy is a must-have gadget for RV dumping
Don’t miss Tony Barthel’s review of the new and improved Dump Buddy. What’s a Dump Buddy? It’s essentially a plastic collar that goes around a sewer pipe in the ground and then another one that goes around your sewer hose elbow. You simply use the knob to tighten the collar around the sewer pipe and then flip up the second collar and tighten that around the sewer hose. Read Tony’s review here or order on Amazon.

I totally disagree with: “There is not an RVing couple on earth who hasn’t argued over parking the camper.” Communication is the key. We’ve moved 100s of RVs and have never argued. My main squeeze does all the backing as I can see much better outside the truck. But, it seems, at least once during the parking process, I’ll tell her to turn the wrong way. She stops, looks at me, and I’ll say “the other left”. It’s a system that works for us.
We have never argued over parking our 40’ Class A. We help each other, and communicate as well as we can, and park it!
Thank you for compiling these, Cheri! The closet hanger seems a mixed idea at best. That is, yes, can hang more clothes per inch/foot/whatever, but also are adding a lot of weight to the clothes rod. So, better be sure that the ends are well anchored or may find clothes and rod in the closet floor soon. I’d rather figure out how to hang fewer clothes if running out of hanging space. Have a great day and safe travels!
