wayne77590 Report post Posted March 6, 2020 Well, while we are on the subject of toilet paper, we decided to drop into Costco today and since we were "running" low, by some TP. Seems like there is a fear factor now and as soon as Costco stocks it they sell out and they have set a limit. It only took one news broadcast of a couple cases of the Coronavirus in the Houston area for the fear factor to set in. You can expect that as the numbers ramp up there will be other stock piling runs on stores for staples and supplies. We did stop at our local H.E.B., and was able to purchase a package. Everything now is going to be "wiped clean." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like some engineer thought it was better to have hot water as long as possible over worrying about getting to a fuel stop. Like Carl this will be a learning trip. I don't plan on letting it get below 1/2 tank. Unlike Carl I only have a 150 gal tank. How was I ever able to get around with only a 90 gal tank? Bill Bill, do you have Aqua Hot or Oasis? I have an Oasis in my Newmar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted March 6, 2020 Yes, I have the Oasis. I need to find some of the fluid. Do they have a "Oasis" brand? Wayne, I may have a corner on the market. After all I was able to smuggle this in from A foreign country. I wonder what the restrictions are. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted March 7, 2020 Mine is also Oasis and the coach is at the ranch...got in at 5 pm...Did Spring brake start today? We took 84 all the way to 281, 30 miles from Waco it was B-B all the way to Burnet. We grabbed 5 bottles of Rubbing Alcohol and 5 large bottles of 100% Aloa Vera...make our own hand wipes! I use Everclear in a spray bottle to sanitize my cutting boards and food prep area. Lysol for everything else to kill germs/virus. Coronavirus has been around for a very long time! It only attacks the lungs and you get it from droplets, by breathing or wiping your mouth and nose with your hands! Unfortunately we are in an election year, so we get FUD..Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt...given to us by guess who? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted March 8, 2020 Jim S. I figured out all by myself, that you probably meant March 30 to April 3rd. We might be able to stop by on our way back from Tucson! 😀 RayIN.

wildebill308 Report post Posted March 9, 2020 Ok,here is a question from the Aquahot rookie. Does it hurt to leave it on electric when it is plugged in? And how often do you run it on diesel? I topped up the tank today so everything is looking good. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
