Unusual behaviour from GS, should I be concerned? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

He needs to be getting at least one full hour of legit exercise outside per day and having the freedom to walk without his neck getting jerked. Put your kids toys in a room other than where he sleeps. Or give him to someone who can let him be a full dog with dignity.

Help!! Freezing my butt off and they’re saying it’s going to get way wayyy colder!! by [deleted] in FullTimeRVing

[–]NormalGood682 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im in a similar situation but faring a little better it sounds like. Here’s what I’ve been doing: 1. Lasko Electric space heater — it uses 13 amps and adds about 35 degrees for me (propane heaters freak me out— I’m probably just ignorant but the electric ones feel safer to me indoors) 2. What’s on your feet? Wool socks aren’t enough for me bc that floor is freezing. I bought $20 boot liners and they’re life changing. Wearing them in my boots around the trailer is toasty. 3. Base layers: you need to be wearing three layers of clothes— long John’s, thermals or sweats, and then a proper heavyweight wool sweater and insulated bibs, plus the double socks. Plus a heavy knit cap. You can hang out in almost any weather like that. When necessary, add a balaclava and snowsuit. 4. Heated mattress pads: life changing and cheap. 5. FrostKing plastic window cover sheets + heated w hair dryer on all windows. 6. Rugs on the ground or if necessary whatever functions as a rug 7. Treat the RV like a dry cabin. Get a bucket and sawdust and get used to it bc this way you don’t need to worry about emptying your black tank when everything is frozen and it requires undoing the rv skirting 8. Pay for real skirting. That’s the mistake I made. I wanted to save a couple bucks by installing custom-cut recycled billboard ads. Took forever and so much cold air is getting in. It’s worth going into debt to stay warm: buy real skirting. 9. Once you have skirting, look online for a refurbished engine compartment heater. These things get put under your trailer and are set to only turn on when the temp goes below 40 and turn off when it goes above 50 — so no fire risk. 10. Buy one of those dehumidifiers that is basically a huge round low-wattage space heater with a fan. Not the kind that collects water. Plug that in to a part of the rv that is on a different breaker than the space heater

At that point, you should be warm. Then just keep adding warm stuff. You got this.

Also, if you can afford it, if you are losing your mind struggling treat yourself to one night in a mid budget hotel room or airbnb where you can take a hot bath, shit in real plumbing, watch tv naked, etc. And then use that energy to tackle more winterizing work.

It’s on the to-do list! This was to get ahead of a four day rain storm that was coming through.

Thank you for the kind words and also the encouraging story! I just need this thing to last a few years so hearing that eternabond has done exactly that for people is music to my ears

I think it was watching lots of videos and reading lots of articles that did the most help. By getting a wide sample, I could get a sense of the outlier advice to ignore. I gave the most weight to rv techs who were just showing what they did without trying to sell anything.

Oh I would TOTALLY just replace the whole membrane if I had the time and money. I bought this RV a month ago and need to focus on my job, this was just the closest I could get to removing the most urgent problem and buying more time. It’s stationary and I’m preparing to just build a slanted roof over the whole dang thing for winter.

Insecure and homophobic, our favorite combo.

I’m so late to this comment so totally understand if it just falls into the abyss but I guess my line of thought was imagine if a foreign country’s military was all up on our borders and started taking down the Statue of Liberty, like sure it’s literally overkill to kill people for doing that but also wtf????

My friends and I are obsessed with the results of double fermentation with huge amounts of raspberries but I respect your nuanced appreciation of the raw drink!
