416. RV MythBusting Revisited: Camping World, RV Toilet Paper, Drano, Black Tank Ice & More
2w ago00:41:32Tap to summarizeIn this mini episode of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby revisit past RV mythbusting segments from earlier episodes to see what still holds up, including whether you should buy an RV from Camping World, whether RV-specific toilet paper is necessary, and misconceptions about using Drano in RV plumbing (including cautions around waterless Hepvo traps). They also debunk bags of water with pennies to deter flies, discuss mixed claims about Irish Spring soap or dryer sheets for mice, and recommend sealing entry points, and dismiss the idea that you must be under 30 feet to camp in national parks. *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/416 *Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Curated, not Regurgitated.
