Usually, a couple of times a year, Anne and I visit my sister and her family at their home in Victoria, BC. We can park our RV in the driveway and hook up to power and water, but no sewer. Not having a sewer hookup limited our stay. Once the waste tanks filled up, we … Read more
In this video, I test out a new water testing gadget I recently picked up off Amazon. The HM Digital Com-80 Hydrotester can quickly test water for both Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). First, I test the TDS found in our current RV Park water supply, and then I check the water … Read more
A few years ago, a company called Clearsource contacted me and asked for a LYRV review of their dual-stage water filter system. They claimed it was built from the ground up with RVers in mind. The water filter hardware incorporated stainless steel connections and oversize canisters along with a powder-coated steel stand. The unit looked … Read more

Goodbye Old RV Sewer Hose My wife Anne and I have been full-time RVers for over four years. Most of that time, I used a Valterra Viper sewer hose. It was a significant quality improvement compared to the cheap sewer hose supplied by the dealer in the initial RV starter kit. Lately, our Viper hose … Read more
Valterra Twist-On Waste Valve I’ve seen these twist on waste gates attached to some other RV’s sewer outputs and always thought they would be a good idea for my Keystone Cougar fifth wheel. My rig has three waste tanks (Black, Galley, and Shower/Bath Sink). The three tanks output pipes all combine into on big output … Read more
I purchased this water regulator because the cheap one included with the RV gave too little pressure to have a decent shower. The Valterra Water Regulator has much better flowability and is adjustable to my preferences. I usually set it at around 50 PSI and that gives us good pressure and flow in the RV … Read more
