Phred Tinseth was a long-time, experienced RVer; his "Poop Sheets" presented basic, reliable information on a wide range of RV and RVing topics in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner. Phred passed away several years ago, but the material is still available online at this address:

Yes, some of specific information, particularly that dealing with batteries, electronics, solar, RV manufacturers, and a few other points is not current, but there is still a great deal of common sense advice in each of the topics. IMO, all of the material is well worth reading; "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose."
Joan,
Thanks so much for the link. I’ve just spent the last hour reading about “poop” and have learned a lot.
I love this group as I always learn so much from each and everyone of you. Thanks so much,
Jules
Thanks Joan for giving us the straight poop! 😉
