Tech & Travel Tips: April 2013

Tech & Travel Tips: April 2013
An assorted collection of plastic plates can be especially fun for potluck suppers.

Plate Collection

We often use paper plates when traveling, but we do enjoy eating off our plastic dishes on occasion. Our collection includes plates for different holidays, sports, and seasons. Everyone enjoys seeing them when we attend potluck suppers.

Stain Remover

A solution of hydrogen peroxide and water may be just the thing for removing stains or spots from motorhome ceilings.If your motorhome’s ceiling is covered in fabric or carpet-type material and it develops a water stain, here’s an easy and inexpensive way to remove the stain. Make up a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water, and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the solution on the stain and let it sit — no rubbing or blotting is necessary. If the spot does not go away after the first application has dried, just repeat the process until it’s gone.

Waste Compartment Protection

One motorhome owner created a barrier to keep rodents from entering his coach via the opening around the waste hose.My motorhome has a large hatch through which the waste hose extends, leaving a sizable gap in the underside of the compartment. This gap can allow critters and cold air into the compartment. My solution was to get a piece of plywood and cut a hole in the middle of it approximately the same diameter as the waste hose. I used stick-on weather stripping on the bottom of the board to create a good seal that will deter rodents and cold air from entering the compartment.
