Then RV's aren't for you.

I too am from Seattle. Didn't think there was anyone else in that town that had a sense of humor. Then again, the dogs and I have been gone for 6 years, so maybe things have changed.

It depends.


But take everything else into account....the socialist politicians, homelessness, heroin injection sites, ever growing taxes, toll roads etc....


No, it's only getting worse. LOL! Going to fix that in November though.

OK, that settles it! The dogs and I are staying on the road. Still have 7 or 8 states to hit so they can water some trees, shrubs, rocks, and grass. I just watch, don't participate in the watering activities.
I did read where the Seattle mayor had some "issues" with some young men in the community and decided to resign. So, what's next? Never mind, I don't want to get anyone in trouble with the site police.

Generators run at a fixed RPM's where as vehicle engines are all over the map. Hence the need for either a 'Normal OCI or Severe duty OCI'. Generators are far easier on oil then vehicle engines.

It's best to do (1) oil analysis and you will know how much life is left within the oil. These days any good name brand oil will easily live beyond 1 year.

Blackstone labs. They will even send you the kit for free. 2?

Once you have your TBN number you'll know at what interval to change your oil. Whether that be mileage wise or date wise.
