Check your RV specs. If you have Dexter Co of Elkhart, IN sealed hubs, you might have a problem. They are supposed to be self lubricated. In other words we are not supposed to grease them every 30,000 miles. They aren't. We were driving along US 90 outside Del Rio, TX and one of the wheels of our fifth-wheel Avion trailer sheered off and raced us down the road. God was with us and everyone is safe. When we took the trailer in to be repaired, the mechanic said that all of the hubs were dry and would have to be replaced.
If you have Dexter sealed hubs, watch out. They will fail you.

Bag IT!!
When shopping, bring your own bags. You can buy them at many stores, even Wal Mart. People also give the out for free at RV shows, rallies and other places. The most difficult aspect is to keep them in your car. Even if you forget to bring them into the store, you can go and retrieve them.
Some stores even give incentives to use your own bags. Just think, the next time a cashier asks you "Paper or plastic?" You can reply saying you have your own bags. It also save up space in your home. Less clutter.
By using our own bags we expand our carbon footprint. We use less oil and trees.
One last thought: how many plastic bags have you seen blowing in the wind in your neighborhood? They will outlast us and our grandchildren.
Any questions?
