When your phone suddenly says “Emergency Calls Only”: SIM Swapping
You’re relaxed at the perfect campsite, spacious, quiet, great cell signal, and an awesome view. You intend to have a few productive work days, using your internet connection to stay in touch with the real world. But at some point, you notice that you don’t have an internet connection, or that your phone says, “Emergency…
The Silverware Drawer
Everybody has one. Forks, knives, spoons, and usually some other random stuff. You probably have it all organized in a plastic tray, or perhaps custom dividers, that fill most of the drawer. I know I did, and over a number of years the soft white plastic had developed a few stains, and didn’t look quite…
Electrical Myths, Part 6: “Power Surge” Burned 30-Amp Plug
You’ve probably seen pictures or heard stories of charred 30-amp plugs plugged into a campground pedestal.

Weber BabyQ Regulator Repair and Upgrade
My Weber BabyQ propane gas grill has seen a lot of things. I bought it my first summer RVing, and since then it’s been all over the country, spending most non-travel days sitting outside.

Can I deduct sales tax paid on my new RV? How?
So you bought a new RV in 2018, maybe with your newfound riches (or a miscalculation of what they might be) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. If you bought at a dealer, you probably paid sales tax at purchase time, and maybe even included it in the loan you took out (remember,…
Can you deduct your towable RV’s loan interest for 2018?
Let me start off by saying that there has been a lot of bad reporting, sensationalism, and misunderstanding with regard to tax law changes that were part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which became law just in time for the 2018 tax year. It’s bound to happen to some degree when you pass…
Hunting for Fisher-Paykel Supply Line Fittings
Remember the dishwasher install I wrote about a few years back? (here’s the link) Well, another kitchen remodel has been underway, in a house that’s about to celebrate 100 years standing in one place. Yeah, no wheels. Like a lot of older houses, its kitchen is fairly small, and its last real renovation was during…
