yes but I will not carry anything that will break from driving down rocky forest service roads. Kiss principle is in effect that and only load up essential stuff need for that particular trip. In other words. in the space that a espresso machine would take up I can fit 24 cans of beer. Beer wins

that is what the espresso maker is on my stove is. Water in the bottom turns to steam which gets forced up though the finely ground beans in the middle and condenses in the top into glorious strong espresso to be poured into my waiting mug
mokas don't make enough pressure to brew espresso. strong coffee sure. technically my minipresso isn't real espresso either, but for it's size it's the closest thing I've found so far.

the kid isnt real, people are horrible, there is no good in the world. the kid should buy a newer bus anyway.

Looks posh. So much more room for activities with the dual slide outs.

3600 lbs dry, woof, thats hefty.

spending the afternoon scrubbing the grime off the camper interior and tightening up loose fixtures. The more crap I get done now the less crap I have to deal with after work this week. who knew that a wire welding brush would come in so handy in a camper

Were leaving tomorrow for a week of camping. Its only a 60ish mile drive to the campground, but I figure a good chance to rinse the gray and black tanks. Has anyone ever tried a half cup of dish soap and some water down the grey? Seems like it may be a bubbly mess?

I squirt a little dawn dish soap into the black tank on my way home to help break stuff up. A half cup seems way to excessive. Grey tank gets the soapy water from doing dishes so I never felt the need to add more soap to it.

:stupid: A good squirt of Dawn is a good idea for the black tank.

I've got the Nanopresso (with the "barista" kit for doubles) and have been using it for a couple of years now. I like it.

It's not spectacular espresso, but it's decent and slides into the water bottle pouch on my backpack so it's hard to beat the portability. Jenn practically always has hot water on for her tea, and you can pack the little filter pods in advance, so it makes it really easy to just grab an espresso any time I want one.

Same. Never added to gray but I do give the black a squirt and sometimes even add a bit of ice to scrub around.

It only took the two of us an hour to off load all the crap in the camper. All that left is to do a little scrubbing and It will be ready to trade in on Saturday. So glad we don't pack the camper with a lot of shit in every possible place with: "well some day we might need this " never gonna need crap
