markandlisav Report post Posted August 26, 2017 Did a quick upgrade to the RV closet today. Lined the back wall with cedar planks. Cost about $35 for the materials at Home Depot. Smells good, looks good - wife happy... Before After Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted August 26, 2017 Been here done that in an S&B. I hope you have better luck on the nice smell staying around. Looks nice, and happy wife, happy life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted August 26, 2017 All it takes to have the nice smell is scuff the surface a bit and it will continue...i know a bit dusty and you have to remove the contents...been there done that. Make the closet tighter. By the way looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaypsmith Report post Posted September 1, 2017 You can purchase cedar oil to restore the aroma of the cedar planks, works very well, just google it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted December 29, 2017 Linda thought about spraying some along with Peppermint oil in and around the bays...trying to keep small & big critters out. I told her that combo would defiantly keep me away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaypsmith Report post Posted December 29, 2017 Carl, just don't mix the two, both do work well for their perspective jobs, also a trail of sulfer powder around the perimeter of the RV helps to keep snakes and rodents from entering the coach/ RV. Happy new year all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaypsmith Report post Posted December 29, 2017 Joe, not quiet, would need to add ground charcoal, sugar, salt-p****, to get that same outcome. LOL! Just smells a little but does work pretty well. I watched C V for about the 400th time again this year, I still like Robin Williams RV the the best. Idon't think that I would use it in my new closet though.

manholt Report post Posted December 29, 2017 Joe, Kay, A lot of the ranch real estate folks in Texas, dust their boots and pant's leg in Sulfur powder, in the summer, keeps the chiggers away. I know that works, I used it at Linda's last May and no chiggers, her son forgot. Man, he looked like he had taken a bath in Poison Ivy oil ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted December 29, 2017 We keep an old white sock with sulfur powder in is with a knot tied at the top. Makes a perfect duster for when you are going out into un-mowed grass and weeds. A good thing to keep in the coach is a Gallon of Spectraside (spelling?) Bug Stop. when you know there are ant around spray it around the tires, mud flats, and all hoses. It will kill any insect that crosses it. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
