    Can't remember but do you have a F-350 or F-550? Starting to see that the F-450 just doesn't have that much more capacity. I scaled my truck and fifth wheel this winter. 5340 front, 7320 rear and 10220 fifth wheel total 22880.

    The use of space in that camper is impressive and beautifully done.

    I have a good friend that has a similar camper mounted on an F550. He and his wife are full timing. He is a bit eccentric. They do like their lifestyle and ability to move about the country.

    Took the camper out this weekend do do an EMT Standby. Everything was working well until it wasn't. I went to use the shower and just a dribble came out, same for all the other fixtures. Had water in the fresh tank, all the valves were in the right position. Time to RTFM...hmmmn check the strainer for debris blockage. Oh gross, totally blocked with algae. easy enough to clean and get the water flowing but I bet the fresh water take is gross. Time to add a couple of cups of Clorox fill the tank and let it sit for a few days letting the bleach do its thing. Drain, flush fill add more clorox and repeat foloowed by a few system flushes with clean water and then pull the strainer and reclean

    Be sure to drive it around the block a few of those sitting days to make sure the bleach solution gets splashed around the entire tank, too.

    Even though I sanitize my tank a couple of times a year, I never drink or cook with the on-board water. I keep bottled water for that.

    we always carry the 3.5 gallon water jugs for cooking and drinking. Tank water is for bathing, flushing, and dishes.

    Going for a drive with the camper in a few minutes to slosh the bleach water around.

    Man, it's obvious I am surrounded by Clean Freaks. Whether it's Ben's truck or your portable dwelling, you guys have the compulsive habits I like.

    actually aside from maintaining mechanical stuff that can leave me stranded or cost me more money, I am a total slob. only I know which pile of clothes of mine are clean or dirty. A neat freak I am not.
