MONEY SAVING IDEAS
|
In this economy, finding ways to save money and improve cash flow has become much more than just a good idea. For many people it is a necessity. So how can the RVer save money?
One place we spend a lot of money is paying for chemicals to put into our holding tanks. Many of you have installed Xtreme Vents on your vent caps on  the roof of your rig and have thus eliminated or reduced dramatically the cost of chemicals. Using the Xtreme Vent on your rig will eliminate the need for chemicals. At the cost of $15 a quart or $40 a gallon those chemicals can cost you a lot of money. Go to the website and read more about why you don't need to use chemicals any longer and see the customer comments about the Xtreme Vent. You will be glad you did. Personally we haven't used chemicals since September of 2005. I haven't stopped to calculate our savings but I know it is a lot of money!
Last month we introduced the Water Saver as a way to conserve water in the RV. One reader sent me a note and said this would save him money at home too and ordered a number of these units for his house as well as his rig. He reminded me that his sewer rate is based on his water consumption rate, so using this device would save money on his water bill as well as his sewer rate. I added, it would also save on heating the water with his hot water tank so there was a "3 way savings potential".
Some people that live on acreages get their water trucked in and put into a cistern. These water saving ideas will definitely be a boon to them.
The Water Saver will significantly reduce your water consumption!
When you need water just push on the straw like device that hangs down. This turns the water on. As soon as you remove the pressure on the straw, the water stops. It also has the option of leaving the water running.
Reducing your water consumption also reduces the amount of water going into the holding tanks and also reduces the amount of water you need to heat.
 To have a continuous flow of water, push the circular piece on the straw all the way up to the top of the straw. It takes a little practice to get the device to run continuously but it works well once you have figured it out. This is the easiest water saving device I have ever used. Put it on all your sinks and you will be really impressed as the water starts and stops immediately. Less mess, less cleanup and you are rewarded with substantial water savings with the Water Saver.
We were at the
Airstream rally the first part of July and didn't have any Water Saver
products with us, just my own personal unit. I showed people the unit
and told them how much we appreciated it and took orders. These were
the first RVers to see and buy the product. Most people at the
Airstream Rally bought 2, one for the kitchen and one for the
bathroom. Some of you with two sinks may wish to get three of them. For those people who bought them at the Airstream Rally, please drop me a note and let me know how they are working for you.
 Also check out the High Pressure Shower Head that has been so popular. This product triples the pressure and reduces your water consumption 30-70%. Many people complain of poor water pressure in their homes as well as their RV's. There will be no more complaints after using this shower head.
Also using our Shower Shut Off Valve will further save quantities of water, the heating of the water and the disposing of it.
