TIME FLIES - DOESN'T IT? GETTING OUR RV READY TO USE THIS YEAR

 Wow another week already?  

We started dewinterizing our tiny RV yesterday and finished today.  For those who might not know about this (I had no idea until we bought it) in the fall one has to remove all the water in the tanks and pipes in the RV and put in special anti-freeze to keep the pipes, tanks, etc from freezing and possibly splitting open.  

Comes the spring one has to get the antifreeze out of the pipes and tanks.  This is done by draining the liquid in the pipes and tanks out. (The antifreeze is a special one used in RVs and boats; it is not what is put in the engine of vehicles.)  One then replaces same with water and bleach and drives back and forth, stopping short to mix it throughout the pipes and tanks.  It sits awhile.  Then it is then drained out of the RV and the RV tanks and pipes are filled with plain water – several times – and drained again each time to the get the bleach and any remaining anti-freeze out of the RV.  We have spent the last two days doing this several times to our RV.  Now the water system is usable for this year's season.  

Understand, this RV is a van converted (commercially) to an RV – NOT one of those large things you see on the road and in movies.  It is very, ummm, “cozy”.  The entire inside space is something like 20 feet by 6 feet.  Think about a room that size and living in it – toilet, kitchen, living room and bedroom – all in that space.  

So it is now prepared for any traveling we do in it this summer. Husband has plans.

Think about living with your significant other in a space this small.  You have to be very close friends!
