    Stink bugs

    Full timer but we just got back into our RV after 10 days in storage. In just the last 6 hours we have killed at least 7 of the little buggers. Any home “hacks” or recommendations to get rid of them?

    Bugs

    We're getting the MH ready for our next trip. Looking around we found these bugs dead in the shower. I know I've seen these things somewhere before, but what are they? They are about 1/2" long.

    No bugs for my Fresh Water Tank

    I have located the overflow/vent lines from my fresh water tank. One of the 1/2" lines already had a valve? The other is about to get one to keep water from pouring out while I drive. I have labeled the Add Water Valve to remind me to open the overflow valve when filling my fresh water...

    Removing Bugs

    A while ago somebody posted a hack for removing bugs from the front of our rigs using wet dryer sheets. I haven't tried it until today. I got back from a 2000 mile trip and the front of the motor home was covered with smashed bugs so I thought I'd give it a try. I was impressed it worked so...

    Camping PSA - Redbugs or Chiggers (Now I get it)

    Since this forum provides a “Learn from Other’s Mistakes” theme, thought I would add this. Camped at Charlestown State Park for a couple of weeks. Left my chair outside under a tree at night. It rained. Did not go into surrounding scrub brush trails at all. Sat in my chair enjoying a cold...

    AC Cover to Keep Bugs Out

    Hello, Typical DuoTherm Brisk Air AC. Has anyone experimented with wrapping a screen mesh around the AC cowling to keep the Damn Mud Daubers out! I'm thinking a large holed mesh (not big enough for the bugs to get thru) should allow air circulation for the coils. Or, is there a prefab screen...

    How I Clean the Bugs Off

    On the way back from the September trip we collected quite a few bugs. I had heard about using dryer sheets to clean them off so decided to try it. I wet down the area, put some Mothers Carnauba cleaning wax on some used dryer sheets and wiped away on the buggy areas. It was very little...

    Front cap bugs, share your cleaning secret!

    How do you get the bugs off the front cap? I use a cleaner wax but it takes lots of elbow grease. I think having more moisture would be beneficial. Would one of those wash / wax all products work better. I have to keep the trailer in a storage lot and water is not available, though I could take...

    Bugs in the belfry

    We seem to have an extra passenger with us. At our last camp we heard an animal early evening. Thought it was in the trees at our campsite. Today we moved and as evening approached we heard this same low croaking noise perhaps in the A/C unit. This only occurs once or twice a day. Any idea where...

    How do you remove bugs?

    I have a 2017 Forester motor home with full body paint. This year we took 2 trips and put on about 4,000 miles without cleaning the bugs off the front of the camper. Now I'm not successful getting them completely removed. First I used a power washer at a car wash. Then I tried with the car wash...
