A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

The problem with a tub Soos, is getting enough water to fill it. I have a tub, but can only get about 4" of hot water in it. Anybody else have better luck on that?

Good morning everybody
little chilly this morning but if ya stand in the sunshine its not bad
only in Arizona do ya run the furnace at night and turn the a/c on in
the afternoon, (yes, I caved and turned on the a/c yesterday)
Sparkle, my tub is the same way, not enough hot water to fill the dang
thing, have even thought of installing one of those "hurry hot" type
dealies just for the tub.
Got the weeds done in the front, and some in the back but will finish
up the back today. Cleaned up a bunch of winter debris that was
residing in the cracks between the cement slabs, looks much tidier
now.
Got some yarn put away and still sorting more. Will have to go to the
grocery store today to get my essentials and also stopping by daughters
to pick up my carpet shampooer, its little, but it will have to do. The
big one I had finally gave up the ghost and I'll have to replace it when
I can afford it.
Time for a refill on the coffee and make a little toast for the tummy.
Enjoy your day and be safe.

Morning! Not much to say...it's about 34 and sunny hopefully we get into the high 40's today.

Since we are always dry camping and use the campground facilities for showing I've never tried to take a bath in one of our rigs. But there is a couple who are full-timers and have a lot with hook-ups in town they stay about 3 months every year. She said she often yearns for a bath but has the same problem with the water heater, so she has one of those huge blue speckled coffee pots that she will fill and heat to almost boiling...then she fills the tub until she drains the hot water heater then pours the water from the coffee pot in to complete the fill. Says she doesn't do it often..but it does the trick when she REALLY wants to take a bath instead of a shower! She only used to do it when her husband was going to be gone for awhile because he thought she was nuts...until he had a boil on his butt and needed to soak!

Good Morning all,

It is back to rain and cool temperatures. I am a love winter person...when we get a real winter, but now I am ready for spring and summer to come. Winter had it chance and left me disappointed.

I love RV shows. I did not make it to any this year. We really do not have any that are close. I would love to start thinking and looking and getting ideas for the next one..I love to dream and look and dream.

Not much happening here today. DS is suppose to have Baseball Practice, but we will see...it depend on what the how bad the rain is at that point.

DH is meeting someone that is interested in the old car...I really hope we get it sold soon.

I will be doing some shopping and such.

I like the fact that my little MH has the tub. Not that I'd ever use it (tried that in our 5th wheel and it's like bathing in a bucket), but it makes for a good storage place when traveling and I feel it contains the water better when showering.

Yep, our glorious sunshine is history at I awoke to clouds and I see it has rained during the night. It's typical NW weather and I know that in a few weeks time we'll be back to sun. (fingers crossed anyway).

I didn't sleep well last night. I slept in fits and finally nodded off around 3:30. Woke up at 7:30. Perhaps it's my subconsious creeping in as I asked my X to help me with replacing the battery in my MH. My SIL is busy and I hated asking him to drive the 70 mi RT to help when my X is close and retired. This is the first I've asked him for anything since the divorce 5 yrs ago. I thought it through and felt that since my X is very knowledeable about anything mechanical I can also get him to show me a few things that I've had questions about on my rig.

So far only coffee brewing. Later I think I'll have my yogurt with fresh berries. I have plenty if you're interested.
Have a blessed day!

Sounds like I am the only one with sunshine today! It is suppose to get around 50 as well, so a very nice day! I am still thinking about heading out to take photos of the river. If I do, I will post them later.
No heat in here yet...woke to a pretty chilly morning in here (had my electric blanket on the bed last night just in case...) but now with the sun shining in thru the windows it has warmed up nicely. I will have to wait until tomorrow to get the furnace looked at. It will be a good excuse to put a fire in the fireplace tonight to keep it warmer in here until they can fix the heat.

Still kind of dragging from this cold I've had for the past week. Not much energy or motivation to do anything. Maybe a walk would do me good!

Have a good day, in spite of the rain, ice and cold out there!

Interesting notes about tubs. i'm looking at changing rigs and kind of wanted a tub but not so much to take a bath, although that would be nice, but like Lenora said to contain water in shower little better. In my current rig, Never use shopwer cause water gets all over the place. It's right in the middle and riased up about 18" from rest of floor. Also though it might be nice if I needed to bathe the dog for some reason. I always like to hear from people who actually have the features I think I want.

I went to an RV show yesterday. Not in the market for a new one but always like to look. There were a few motorhomes and trailers with bunk slides. I don't think I had seen that before. The best idea I saw was where they made a small second dinette in the bunk slide and the top bunk was up against the ceiling. There was a small TV across from it on the wall. Would be a good place for kids to play games and be out of the way. Saw a class C where they had made like a lounge out of the back bedroom and the sofa made the bed. Don't know how comfortable it would be but it looked like a good idea.

We know that the manufacturers do not consult with women RV'ers. The sad part is that most of them don't appear to consult with anyone who lives in or uses a rigs regularly......
